Congratulations to Justin Baker, one of the first members of the MAA Leadership Program, who matched at Morehouse for residency as a member of the Pediatrics class of 2029.

Justin noted, “The MAA has given me the unique opportunity to learn more about how my role as a physician extends beyond diagnosing and treatment, and as I enter into residency, I can apply the lessons I have learned to further advocate for myself and my patients along with continuing to learn more from the wonderful physicians here in Atlanta over at least the next 3 years.”
