Off-White Coat
PGY-1 resident, Jordan Abney, dives deeper into the lives of up-and-coming physicians and other healthcare workers. Our conversations include but aren't limited to unfiltered behind the scenes stories of working inside healthcare facilities, top study tips, and how to improve one's overall health and wellness. My goal is to reach knowledge-seeking people while working to promote active improvements in medical education, world healthcare delivery, and the enhancement of social, moral, and ethical obligations of the medical profession, all while pursuing my own passion for medicine.
