Thank you Indiana University & IU Indianapolis for this great honor!! I’m so proud to be at IU School of Medicine and immensely grateful for those who have given me so much guidance in my time as an IU student 🤍❤️🩺

Exchanging sustainability tips in Nepal! Nothing goes to waste in the Hetauda Community Eye Hospital OR, including partially used sutures. The surgical technicians were enthralled by my reusable ASCRS Eyesustain scrub cap and they plan on making their own!

Meeting other med students and residents at the CleanMed physician dinner last night was so much fun! Grateful to be here. CleanMed Salt Lake City Meg Tharp Emily Yamron (she/her) shue

Honored to be one of this year’s Emerging Physician Leaders awarded by HCWH - US & Canada and AAMC. I’m looking forward to applying what I learned at CleanMed Salt Lake City to my sustainable inhaler project at Eskenazi Health.

Thank you IU Health

As an M1 volunteering in vision screening @ the IU School of Medicine student-run free clinic, I thought our neighbors (patients) might benefit from take-home info on their referral. Now finally in print! Span/Engl info sheets on our 11 commonest referrals. Excited to put to use 🤍🧿

After Step1 in March, things have been busy, but I want to highlight April's OSIG Gala and Silent Auction co-planned with Rabiah Amjad, MD to celebrate 10 years of free vision screening & referral in Indy in the student-run clinic. $6000+ raised to benefit the clinic 🥹 thank you 💙

Health professionals are responding to this crisis, yet healthcare industry 10% of global economy and needs to lead by example. Healthcare contributes 5% of global GHGs and toxic air emissions (25% from US). #DecarbonizeNow google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.…

What is in your cataract package? Surgical packages for cataract surgery can be highly variable— this study found that product quantity and size differed greatly, with a difference of up to 71%. It’s time to reconsider how we procure materials to reduce the carbon footprint.
