Our thoughts and very best hopes are with our friend and former colleague Tom Doherty, his wife Anne and all family since his fall and disappearance in the Pyrenees. We desperately hope he is found soon. Our great thanks to all supporting the search.

18 children died in Grenfell, and we should never forget the lasting impact this has on their friends and young family members throughout their most formative years

TB is biosocial disease. Although an infectious disease, the drivers of TB incidence and mortality are largely socially determined. Biomedical interventions are absolutely necessary, but not sufficient to #EndTB

In the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s fight for justice and progress, today's Mentor Match Day takes on special meaning.
Witnessing our Funding The Future Physician cohorts connect with dedicated mentors like Dr. Tongwa B. Aka, MD, is a powerful testament to that truth: the time is always right to do what is right.
Dr. Aka, an Internal Medicine resident with a passion for cardiology, doesn't wear her white coat as a mark of privilege, but as a hard-earned symbol of resilience and hope. Her journey from Cameroon to Oakland, from research labs to the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, is a testament to the power of perseverance and commitment. She didn't just climb, she paved the way for others.
Today, Dr. Aka and many other physicians are paying it forward, guiding the next generation of doctors through Funding The Future Physicians Initiative. Their mentorship echoes Dr. King's message: a rising tide lifts all boats. It is a privilege to witness this legacy in action, a reminder that progress demands not just witness, but participation.
If you too are interested in being a mentor or coach to other inspiring physicians, visit the15whitecoats.org/voluntee… to apply!
