Another great day in Annapolis with MedChi’s #PhysicianoftheDay! Dr. Aaron George joined us today and had the opportunity to connect with future leaders in medicine—medical students Lavina Harrison, Victoria Saggio, and Alyssa Sutton. We love seeing these meaningful connections between practicing physicians and medical students. Your engagement today helps shape the future of healthcare in Maryland. Thank you all for your time, dedication, and commitment to patient care.
