4 years ago, I received a stethoscope from @UMichMedSchool. It has served as a constant reminder that in order to heal, we must listen. Grateful to learn from mentors committed to listening and uplifting the communities we serve - in clinic, in the OR, and in our research.
Congratulations to Luca Borah for receiving the Student Research Award! This is presented to a medical student or graduate student who has demonstrated originality and scientific merit in research.View quoted post on X
