How do you build a productive group?
First, with supportive and dedicated faculty such as Dr. Salah G. Aoun
Second, create a vertical mentorship and leadership structure between med students and IMGs
Third, empower them to embrace the unknown and love the process of discovery

Your mentors are proud of you
Your family is proud of you
I am proud of you
You have achieved plus more despite the obstacles
& that should be celebrated'

I appreciated these words a lot
