Incredible and well-deserved honor for one of our own, @rhbelcher !
Recently received the Levi Watkins, Jr. MD Award for Mentorship from @VUmedicine and couldn't be more grateful. Couldn't believe it. @VUMChealth medical students are the greatest and hope to never forget when all MD's were in their position, we all needed a mentor.
