AAMC Axis is The Association of American Medical Colleges Advisory Committee on Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Sex Development. I serve on the Interprofessional Collaboration Subcomittee, where we are currently introducing ourselves to each other as part of this work. This is my story, and interest in serving along with these other dedicated health professionals.

Also – I must
say, I haven’t seen very many email
signatures with preferred gender

put your preferred gender pronouns in
your email signature. You are first
healthcare executive I have seen do
that. I hope it sparks others to
follow suit.
