After changing instances, let me post an introduction:
I'm a family physician who cares about primary care, prevention, and public health. My day job in academia juggles medical education, clinical work, and scholarly pursuits in the U.S.
In my free time, I like reading, dancing, and traveling. I believe in the power of community and diversity is a strength. Looking for joy in simplicity and going outside. Will consume BTS content.
