Sensible Medicine

JUNE 21, 2024

“Well,” my friend advised, “if you’re feeling nervous right now, that is because the thing you are about to do might upset people, and that takes courage.” Respect for the standards by which one is judged is adaptive in academic medicine.

The American Academic of Pediatrics (AAP) proudly told parents to avoid peanuts in kids at high risk of allergy.

Today Dr. Calderon is known for her research into HIV and Hepatitis C prevention, but she didn’t start off on an academic track. Her new community has a higher prevalence of Hepatitis C than HIV, so they began screening for that in the ED as well. That’s when her desire to help people was born, and that desire still motivates her.
