Stop telling med students not to speak up. Since when was it 'wise' to lay low during a genocide?Why would we desire to be liked by a residency program/people in medicine who judge us for speaking out against violence & injustice? The medical field is so inhumane & embarrassing
Sending so much love to everyone who matched and everyone who didn’t. Feel free to reach out if you need any help SOAPing and be sure to check out the resources on the SOAPHOPE thread: reddit.com/r/medicalschoo… & a reminder that outcomes in this process don’t reflect your worth ❤️
I am excited to share my piece, “The Hypocrisy of Community-Engaged Research,” published in @insidehighered. It critiques how the neoliberal university’s market-driven model prioritizes profits over justice-oriented research. insidehighered.com/opinion/career…
"We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule that's given to Whites, because their immune system is better than ours." ---RFK Jr. So what vaccine schedule should I have received? His answer was dangerous. I will be voting no.
Grateful to share I’ll be joining @UCLA as a tenure-track Assistant Professor in @UCLAFSPH & @dgsomucla. Together we will advocate for & uplift all underserved communities, including Pasifika people. Mahalo to the tremendous leadership who came together to make this possible.

Four years later and this intern is now a board certified Internist and Pediatrician! #MedPeds
I’ll use this moment to introduce myself ✨ I’m a #MedPeds intern at Hopkins and a Texas Native (#hookem). I’m passionate about a lot of things, but recently I’ve just been focusing on what it means to create a world that’s better for Black girls and women.
Immensely grateful to @AsianAcadSurg for giving me the space to reflect on my roots and what continues to drive me through this journey. “Dear Tatay” is now out in @JSurgRes: bit.ly/4gwyF2W @UCSFGSResidency @UCSFSurgery

Delighted to share I passed my doctoral defense: officially Emmanuella Asabor, PhD✨ I would not be here, 8 years into this MD-PhD, without the grace of God & the support of my mentors @IjeomaOparaPHD & loved ones @Dr_Warhel Next stop, MD 👩🏾⚕️🥳 #womeninSTEM #blackdoctors
So I left my residency program + specialty bc I was deeply, profoundly unhappy (inside the hospital). And I think there’s something rlly intentional abt sharing a testimony when it doesn’t feel “finished”.
