(L) up early, 1st day as Chair of Medicine Howard University; (R) chopping it up in Dr’s lounge. The goal: to make HU the destination of choice for IM docs, subspecialists & trainees who share our mission-eliminating healthcare disparities & equitable care for all. Is this U? Hit me up 📞

AEDs are only effective if put to use. Additional efforts are needed to overcome barriers for public access defibrillation.

#SuziQ & I were sitting at a bar last night, and the bartender was poking fun at us for being dressed in the same festive sweater.

Then we told her that we’ve been together for 40 years:

“You’re so lucky you have such a good husband.”

No.

It isn’t luck.
All these years later…

Sr year at HU I would drag my girlfriend with me to eat lunch in the hospital cafeteria. Why? I was mesmerized by seeing Drs in their white coats, daydreaming that I would 1 day join their ranks.

We’re back.

That’s my Howard University story. What’s yours?

American College of Cardiology training 20 🫀 leaders in best practices for leading #ImplicitBias mitigation discussions. If biases about race, religion, gender, etc MIGHT impact pt care, then cardiologists should be as familiar with bias mitigation strategies as they are with #STEMI guidelines!

On this day, 10 yrs ago, I set foot at UAB for the 1st time - my interview day for IM residency. I remember meeting w/ Lisa Willett & Ryan Kraemer and after the day thinking… wow, this place is incredible. After 8 yrs of training, and now as an attending, I still think that.

Delighted to welcome this talented group to the UT Southwestern Cardiology Fellowship! We’re just thrilled to have you join us UTSW Heart Gail Peterson Anish Bhatt Amit Khera Mark Drazner

TY CA!

Gathering at this hour to say our fond farewells to Quinn Capers, IV as he prepares to leave @UTSWNews and go to take on a new leadership role at Howard University. Best wishes, Dr. Capers, for your every success!
