UCB/UCSF MS4; rising surgery intern; aspiring trauma-informed/healing-centered care practitioner; opinions are my own; Racial/Disability Justice 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️
Discovered the magic of surgical care on rotations. Now on a quest to find my role in the Theater and imagine a justice-based, trauma-informed, healing-centered practice for the career.
Looking to learn, grow, and connect.
Such an honor to be joining @UCSF_EastBay to train to become a surgeon! Looking forward to meeting the faculty and all my co-residents and making this dream a reality!

Representation and institutional support is critical. Just 2 years ago, I never imagined I'd find family and support in the field of surgery. Now, I can't imagine it without them. @OutSurgeons

"Trauma-informed" definitely has buzzword status. Really appreciated @somustakeem enumerating the diversity of experience that could be ascribed to the term and challenging me/us to think critically about how it is employed and who is included during @repair_project panel
just listened to @lj_punch talk about the BRIC (thebric.org/). first time I've met a NB surgeon and human who embodies the work I aspire to. going back to the vision board to expand what I believe is even possible
I know I’m very late to this, but even Paul Kalanithi thought the loss of family was too high a price to pay for a career in medicine.
On the edge of my seat for what changed his mind and if he found a better balance before the end.
In other words...how did others talk to their partner(s) about the decision to go into surgery and what that will mean for the relationship? B/c it seems like it will affect them as much as me
