Our Year of Living Dangerously

EMORY MEDICINE MAGAZINE | SUMMER 2021

I call it the peril of the p’s: pandemic, police brutality, protests, and politics—and they collided to make 2020, for me, a painful year yet one that fostered deep reflection.  

Here are the hats I wear. I am a professor and an associate dean; a vice chair of faculty equity, engagement, and empowerment for emergency medicine; and associate director of education at Emory’s Injury Prevention Research Center. I am a healer and stand for fairness. That’s what those long titles of mine come down to in the end.
