Anyone who has achieved success can point back to a mentor that first inspired them. Mentorship is a pathway in which diversity, equity and inclusion can thrive. Our youth yearn for the opportunity to be mentored. We have a responsibility to not let them down.

High school students for our surgery mentorship program. Black students and hijabis moved to see others with common interests that looked like themselves. We provide inspiration / support and they give us energy! @najmadoc @UofTCVsurgery @AkachukwuNwako1 @lina_elfaki @dwlatter

The black community has high rates of cardiovascular disease. I believe that each of us is only as strong as our community is. As doctors we have a responsibility to share what we've learned with those dear to us. Thank you @BobbyYanagawa for helping to make this talk possible.
