We demand better for not only ourselves, but for everyone we serve as well.
“I am supporting our union because I believe in giving residents and fellows a collective voice to advocate for ourselves, our patients, and our communities. We work tirelessly to support each other and our patients and deserve to be heard. We demand better for not only ourselves, but for everyone we serve as well.”
