LEGISLATIVE WRAP-UP

continued from page 29

surrounded by amazing physicians and seeing them as passionate
about their vocation today as much as they were when they gradu-
ated medical school gives me a strong sense of hope for our future
and a firm belief that we are going above and beyond the minimum
standards to advocate for our current and future patients.
Lastly, I would like to thank the many BCMS physicians who sup-
ported and guided me throughout this past year and legislative ses-
sion (in no specific order): Dr. Adam Ratner, Dr. Alex Kenton, Dr.
Jayesh Shah, Dr. John Shepherd, Dr. Leah Jacobson, Dr. John Nava,
and Dr. Ryan Van Ramshorst. I would also like to thank two other
physicians who reached out and inspired me to become active in
TEXPAC and TMA/BCMS: Dr. David Fleeger and Dr. Doug Cur-
ran. Most of all, a huge thanks to Mary Nava, chief government af-
fairs officer for BCMS, for inviting and welcoming me and many
other students into the First Tuesdays team. Amazing leadership re-
ally does go a long way. I look forward to the next legislative session
and can’t wait to continue the fight for my future patients.

Marc Ghosn is a third-year medical student at University of In-
carnate Word School of Osteopathic Medicine.

Cordially invites you to the
