The Evolution of Ryan White HIV/Care
Rapid change does not typically drive progress in health care. Historically, proven interventions are adopted over decades under the best of circumstances, like life-saving Vitamin A for children with measles or Beta-blockers to improve survival after a heart attack.

I began my training before this miracle of medicine transpired.
