What
do you like most about being a doctor? |
"For me medicine is a calling! I have not only wanted
to be a physician, but wanted to be a pediatrician since I was 8 years old. One of the best things about my job is watching children grow up
and being a part of that. I would hope for the future physicians of this world that they
see the pureness of medicine and not get caught up in everything else. Always
remember kindness and compassion goes a long way!"
|
“I’m
a very lucky man — I get to help train the next generation of caring,
effective and happy physicians!”
|
“Being a physician enables me to make a difference in
other people's lives that can be tremendously rewarding. It is a fascinating field that is constantly changing and improving. I can't imagine doing anything else.” - Sheldon
Gross, MD, 2018 BCMS President |

understanding of the complex ways in which socioeconomic status, race,
stress, racism, health behavior and religious involvement can affect health.
The Everyday Discrimination Scale that he developed is one of the most widely
used measures for discrimination in health studies. Dr. Williams has authored more than 400 scientific papers, and
he has served on the editorial board of 12 scientific journals and as a
