Spending my second Christmas in a row in a hospital on a 24 hour shift away from home. That’s how residency is going 😫

So excited to have planned the first annual Women in Orthopedics event for my residency program. When your program has 10 women residents, it’s just gotta happen🙌🏾

September is the American Medical Association’s Women in Medicine Month. We would like to highlight some of our female orthopods here and will feature all of them throughout the rest of the month!

What a date night ❤️❤️ First time at #amateurnightapollo

Grieving for our #orthotwitter family. Dr. Stephanie Husen and Dr. Preston Phillips.

🙃🙃🙃🙃

Across the country, parents are putting their children to bed, reading stories, singing lullabies—and in the back of their minds, they’re worried about what might happen tomorrow after they drop their kids off at school, or take them to a grocery store or any other public space.

@drhaydeebrown @OrthoDocOde @AANAORG @bwos2020 @WTyler_MD @FufaDr Yes please!

Now that its grad season, I just wanna point out that YOU SHOULD NOT NEED TO BE A PHYSICIAN TO BE ABLE TO HOOD YOUR CHILD AT THEIR GRADUATION 🗣 This tradition is a slap in the face to first gen students and we need to get rid of it.

*Only black woman in the program 🙃
