Making Education a Priority

The President of Howard is lecturing to us for 3 hours during this block.
3 hours.
The man is making time to come down the hill and lecture because he's a GI surgeon and these are his lectures as a part of the medical school faculty. He also lectures in the intern readiness course for 4th years.
I guess since he's got so much free time running our entire university he figured he'd give some to us....NOT. They rearranged his schedule and ours to make this work but they made it happen because he wanted to lecture. (Insider info from the curriculum committee)

I LOVE that kind of commitment.
I really do.
Even if I become the residency program director or the Chair of OB/GYN at some Medical Center, I want to still be the kind of physician scientist that makes it my business to teach the OB/GYN pathophysiology lectures.
I want to lead a department that, much like the President's office, understands that education is a priority for their leader and that my schedule should be made accordingly.


You know the man still operates?
He did 3 surgeries last week.

President Fredrick is rockstar!
I hope to lead and practice one day with the same fervor that he does.
