🌟 Proud moment for the Fertitta College of Medicine!

Two of our outstanding medical students, Camilla Arguedas and Zainab Jimoh, represented UH at the American Psychiatric Association conference in San Francisco.

Camilla presented her research poster, while both students attended the APA Council on Communications meeting — a committee chaired by one of our very own faculty, Gregory Scott Brown, M.D., FAPA, FAIHM.

It was fantastic to see our students shining on the national stage and engaging with leaders in psychiatry.
Way to go, Camilla and Zainab! 🩺👏

Today, we honor the brave men and women who gave their lives defending our freedoms. Among them, we pay special tribute to the military physicians, surgeons, nurses, and medical teams who wore both the white coat and the uniform.

With courage and compassion, they brought healing to the battlefield and hope amid hardship. We remember them, we honor them and we renew our commitment to service in their name. Thank you.

This story began in anatomy lab, where Brendan, Cord, Ethan, Scott and Sydney first met as tank neighbors!

What began as a small study group during their first months at the Fertitta College of Medicine, quickly turned into a lifelong friendship that carried them through all four years of medical school. ❤️

Along the way, the group grew beyond classmates to include spouses, fiancées, and even a beautiful baby!👶 Together, they celebrated milestones 🎉 traveled ✈️ survived exams and rotations 📚 and supported one another through every challenge medical school brought.

As Match Day approached, one of the hardest parts was knowing residency would take them across the country 🥹 Still, they’re incredibly grateful for the friendships and support system the Fertitta College of Medicine helped create.

No matter where residency takes them next, this will always be where their story began 🤍
