Someone asked me why Tik Tok? Why the dancing videos?

I told them in 20 years I want to see more women in surgery, Black men in medicine and female leaders. So, I had to meet the youngest generation where they’re at… now we can have those discussions. #WomensHistoryMonth— Jason “TikTok Doc” Campbell, MD (@DrJCoftheDC) March 28, 2020
