If youāre a med student with a soapbox, your voice matters! @LahariV and I talked about why with the AMA here: ama-assn.org/medical-studentā¦
#MedStudents have powerful advocacy voices. After learning #OpEd writing in their #HealthPolicy course, @UChiPritzker MS1s had 22 op-eds published in major outlets in 2 years. Read more about their training, by @DrRam95 @ShikhaJainMD @FutureDocs

We're listening to the press conference on the fate of House Bill 68. The governor is explaining that he listened to families speak about the real lived experiences of Transgender youth and the need for gender-affirming care. The bill is vetoed!

This op-ed was inspired by @cjstreed's fantastic talk at @UChicagoMed, and highlights this recent paper from the LITE Plus study.

ICYMI: Fantastic piece by India Hilty, my Pritzker classmate and constant inspiration, about the injustice of Illinoisā lack of parole.
Give it a read, and check out @ParoleIllinois to learn more!
Commentary: Illinoisā lack of parole is not only inhumane, but it also perpetuates existing health inequities in the United States. trib.al/4g77Eq7
