🚨 8️⃣ We review: Hispanic heterogeneity and disaggregation of CV risk and outcomes ‼️
The consequences of a crumbling democracy led me to leave my country 🇻🇪 and my family in order to attain my professional goals. Never did it cross my mind that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) policies could at some point jeopardize my medical training (again).
If you know a J-1 physician, speak up!
There are over dozen categories of J-1 visa classifications-- the physician category is one. The ICE proposal should NOT apply to physicians in training.

I'm reminded every year when I renew my visa, that I'm an "ALIEN PHYSICIAN".
As we strive to foster a world where people feel like they belong (wherever they are), there is nothing more "alienating" than the word

Powerful reminder that the complexities of medical care includes not only those involved in in-patient care, but also those partaking in pre-hospital management & patient's loved ones.
I seldom post about patients,let alone pictures or cards,but this is a memory I want to hold onto forever!
My last two ❤️transplant patients at CCF are among the most exceptional people I know & will always serve as an inspiration in my journey

Friends, with my last Year-in-Review Top 10 Picks 2021. It's been a privilege to serve as JACC-HF EIC. I especially want to thank my AE's, reviewers, authors, and HF Community, who have supported this innovative journal effort the past 10 years dedicated to the patients we serve.
I'm appalled and outraged by this piece!
As a Hispanic - a woman - an IMG, I have had to work extremely hard to get to where I am today. I am NOT a metric!
