“As we graduate from medical school and finish our medical training, we not only inherit the prestige, privilege, and power of the title of “Doctor”, but the legacy of racism, discrimination, & trauma in medical history. As representatives of the profession…”

QT Anjali Menezes

Take time to stop and smell the flowers.
Breathe the sea air.
Revel in the mountains.
