Dr. Tsion Abraham SHINES in our next intern spotlight sitting on the Moraga Steps, one of the many "Hidden Steps of San Francisco". She's one of our star interns, a fantastic doctor interested in ID and now an avid cyclist. Show her some love! #medtwitter #UCSF #medinterns

Little girl just jumped into my arms and rested her head on my shoulder in the ED. Her dad said “she’s never seen a black doctor before and I think she thinks you’re Doc McStuffins”🥺

Absolutely! Honored to have @jbullockruns as a colleague (and friend). The stigma of mental illness prevents docs from getting help. One of our goals as chiefs this year is to connect all our residents w/mental health appts in an “opt out” process to reduce stigma.

I'm honored to be giving @UCSFMedicine IM noon conference tomorrow. I'll be telling some stories I've never told before. This is the last talk I'll ever give as a medical student. It may also be the most special. @UCSFIMChiefs

This morning marked a milestone when Dr Antonio Gomez, ZSFG Medical Director of Critical Care, became the first to receive a COVID-19 vaccine in SF. Dr Gomez has treated the most critically ill COVID-19 patients. This is an exciting development in our response to the virus!
