Dr. Asante Dickson joins us this week to talk about his incredible career in the field of Interventional Radiology. He shares what a typical day is like for him and the general workflow of his practice. Dr. Dickson has made some remarkable observations regarding patients with COVID19-related blood clots. He shares how he advocates to save the extremities of minority patients that otherwise would have been removed without a significant attempt at salvage.
He shares his incredible story of how he progressed through the difficulties of our medical education system. To that end, Dr. Dickson and his mentor, David Taylor, founded Ascension Medical Educators. AME is a professional services firm of medical educators and physicians with expert academic advising and mentoring for successful careers in medicine. They provide a support system and network for pre-meds and medical students.
