One of our spectacular former Young Scholars!
So proud to see a star Young Scholar, Morgan Stanley, highlighted at the #ACC25 #ACCGala for his incredible trajectory, including publishing a children's book! He reminds us that the future of cardiology lies in the recruitment of a workforce as diverse as the patients we serve.
