Sometimes being able to move forward with a career in cardiology means evaluating the road you previously walked. Thank you to @eddygumbs and @seanharrellMD for being so open with me about your career paths!
Have a watch on @TCTMD's #FellowsForum: tctmd.com/videos/walking-the…

Still remember the call 13 years ago when I was declined from a minimum wage job washing dishes at a local hospital.
A few weeks ago I was invited by that same hospital to interview for a job as an interventional cardiologist.

It’s my turn; my loyalty to @American_Heart runs deep; the @JAHA_AHA article is a “miss”; see the response & #disparities link.Per #JohnLewis - “if you see something not right...you have a moral obligation to do something”... my something: fully reject racism; no, not in my lane. – at Chicago, IL
.@JAHA_AHA article by @Norman_C_Wang does NOT represent AHA values. JAHA is editorially independent but that’s no excuse. We’ll investigate. We’ll do better. We’re invested in helping to build a diverse healthcare and research community. See how here. spr.ly/6009GeocS
Passing along the word. Food for thought
Older people of color are much more likely to live with a school-age child vs. their White counterparts.
So any spread of the virus due to #ReopeningSchools from children to older adults could exacerbate racial disparities in health impacts of #COVID19. kff.org/coronavirus-covid-19…
