It’s Membership Monday🎉

Meet our Chair! 👋 Liam is currently a research fellow at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, plans to graduate with the Class of 2029, and is from Flagstaff, AZ. From folding origami cranes with his mom to caring for his first patient on the wards, he’s drawn to plastics for its mix of creativity and purpose ✨

Outside medicine, he bakes (ask about his favorite of 14 tested chocolate chip cookie recipes! ), plays piano, and performs magic. The E-Board adores Liam and PSSN is beyond lucky to have him as one of our fearless leaders. Thank you Liam for all you do 🤝

Swipe to get to know him! ➡️

Now that we’ve introduced our E-Board, we want to highlight our outstanding PSSN’s founder and faculty sponsor, Dr. Wendy Chen, MD, MS.

Though the bio aims to capture all that she does and is, her experiences, expertise, and value are beyond anything we could summarize on paper.

We are beyond grateful to have Dr. Chen as the mentor and advocate of this growing network and thank her for her leadership, advice, and support. PSSN is very lucky to have you, @drchendy 🙌🏻 by @psstudentnetwork
