Recognition
This project would not have been possible without the following people and organizations:
Dr. Lynne Richardson at Mount Sinai's Emergency Medicine Department; thank you for your never-ending support and wealth of knowledge. You saw the potential in a young medical student and you made possibilities real.
The American Osler Society; the Bean Award helped make this work possible.
The Petersen Fund and its committee, Dean Alicia Monroe, M.D., and Dr. Monika Bolino, at the Brown Alpert Medical School; thank you for the contribution and continued support.
Drs. Sheldon Jacobson, Andy Jagoda, Peter Shearer, Jack Choi, Stuart Kessler, and Nurse Manager Jocelyn Sese; thank you all for making space in the educational curriculum at Mount Sinai and Elmhurst Hospital Emergency Departments.
Dr. Rajeev Bais; thank you for taking the time.
Maggi Rodriguez; thank you for the being the person I could always ask.
Dr. Deborah Fish Ragin and Jeidy Carrasco; thank you for your dedication to the Mount Sinai Emergency Medicine Summer Research Program. Your program was this project's vehicle.
The American Medical Students Association and the Medical Education Department at the University of Michigan Medical School; thank you for the Training Tomorrow's Teachers Today 2006 conference and for beginning to teach me how to teach.
Rebecca Sadun; thank you for always knowing the next step.
Pamela Andreatta; thank you for assuring me of the way.
The T4 2006 participants; thank you for your encouragement, energy, and vision. You all saw farther than I did—this website was born of your visions.
Katherine Chon and Bradley Miles of Polaris; thank you for the inspiration and the support. Your work made my work easy.
Theodore Youn; Teddy, thank you for the beginning and for sticking with it, even through the surgery rotation.
Catherine Greibel at Safe Horizon; your kindness is truly a gift.
Vandana Tripathi at Doctors of the World; thank you for sharing your work.
Ronak Talati; thank you for building the original website for the practitioners. Without you, the website would have been only a vision for so much longer.
Natalya Gimson; thank you for migrating the information and creating a new site. As I grow in the anti-trafficking movement, so too must what I share.
Jill Brenneman; thank you for your story, your work, and of course, the webspace. You are the rock of the teaching, and a gift to survivors and activists; keep telling your story, keep fighting.
Without these, and so many others, this project would not be possible. You each contribute to decreasing the disparity and injustice; you enhance the quality of healthcare in this nation and you inspire me. Thank you.
