Do you have a cool accomplishment you're proud of?
I had two children during residency and fellowship. This accomplishment is one I’m most proud of because it shows that it is possible to achieve a balance of work and family life by being intentional with how time is spent.

What do you like most about being a physician?
I love being a calming presence for pregnant patients and their families during labor and delivery, as well as advocating for this vulnerable population.

As the nation celebrates the successful mission of Artemis II, TMA was honored to open TexMed 2026 with a physician leader who has explored space himself.

In a riveting fireside chat with physician astronaut Bernard Harris Jr., MD, (pictured right) and TMA President Jayesh "Jay" Shah, MD, Dr. Harris shared his otherworldly adventures and study of human adaptations in space. “The future of medicine will rely on the future of space,” he said, describing how telemedicine and imaging first developed by NASA “became the foundation” for today’s digital health applications. “Our profession has gotten the most benefit out of that, so we have to be prepared as physicians and prepare our students for that future.”
