I didn’t match last year. I thought my red flags were the end of me: I stopped med school twice. I wanted to give up. I was nearing my 40s and I wanted to move on with my life. My parents and friends told me not to, and I knew I had more to give. So I applied again. #MatchDay2024

With God Anything is Possible 🙏🏽 I’ll be training as a Cardiothoracic Surgeon Resident at @UscCardiac . Thank you for everyone that’s been there through the process ✊🏾 #matchday2024

NEWS Bronx medical school, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, is now tuition-free thanks to a $1 billion gift from Dr. Ruth Gottesman, a former professor. Gottesman, whose late husband was an early investor with Warren Buffett, has made it a condition of the gift that the college NOT change its name—an unusual requirement in a world where much smaller gifts often come with the requirement that the colleges be named after the donor. Most students at the Einstein College of Medicine graduate with $200,000 in debt; they will now be free of that burden. nytimes.com/2024/02/26/nyr…

What an honor to speak to these do future scientists, nurses, and doctors this morning 😊 Sharing with them my own path, I hope it resonates with them so they can continue to match their intelligence with grit and compassion 😊 Invest in people! The future is bright.

My newest blog post is about this harmful phenomenon: patient blaming. If you have been blamed for your medical condition (chances are you have been), I hope you find some comfort in this story. #AskThePatient zedzha.com/blog/a-self-bl…
