Colleen Christmas, MD, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine

One of the greatest parts of my job in medicine involves watching the medical students bear witness to a person’s journey. I am constantly awed by patients’ willingness to help teach our students and to share their vulnerabilities and their strengths. How incredible is that, to be part of that humbling and joyful connection? Medicine and the human body are incredibly fascinating, but these exchanges, for me, take medicine over the moon.
