Our Deepest Gratitude

The creation of this report has been 2 years in the making (technically 3 years if you count us being in existential crisis and questioning curricula in medical education). We are deeply grateful to the teachers who have nurtured our curiosities as learners, friends who have had countless late night, early morning, text-ranting conversations with us about why all this still exists, and mentors who have believed in our hopes for a medicine that is centered on providing our patients with the care and love that they deserve. Thank you.
