Hi AGAIN‼️ My name is Dr. Rachel Marie Bond. I am a Black, female cardiologist -- I'm not sure if it can get any more diverse than that. There are not many of us and there are many subtle reasons why that's the case. Throughout my journey, I've learned a lot of life lessons as to why this may be, but also how these same experiences have made my journey all the more rewarding. In 2017, I read an article in the New England Journal of Medicine from a female physician to her younger self; this inspired me to do the same. I was given the opportunity to do this via @medpage. I think of me ten years ago when I was a naive medical student going through my clerkships. I think of all of those young women who are in the same position and the advice I would have given to myself now knowing all that I know. I hope my advice will reach other young ladies who dream to be a cardiologist. I hope that my letter may impact them as much as the letter I read impacted me. I hope this will be one step to the solution to serve as a beacon for future women, especially women of color, in this amazing field. I shared exerts from this letter during a powerful webinar I did with @abcardio1 earlier in June.
