from The Kinked Wire · host Hirschel McGinnis, MD | Society of Interventional Radiology
During that time period, many of the Japanese Americans, like my parents who were born in the United States, were a quiet bunch of people ... and so my parents never talked about it. In fact it wasn’t in our history books, growing up. I didn’t even know about the internment camps—and the fact that my family was affected by them—until I was 25.—Alan H. Matsumoto, MD, FSIRAt the SIR 2019 annual meeting, Alan H. Matsumoto, MD, FSIR, received SIR’s prestigious Gold Medal award. During his speech, he announced his vision for a new program to support diversity in IR: the Grants for Education of Medical Students (GEMS) Program.
