Dr Michelle Albert is the current president of the Association of Black Cardiologists, the 60th president of the Association of University Cardiologists, and the president-elect of the American Heart Association. She is the first cardiologist to hold these three leadership positions simultaneously and is a recipient of multiple awards for her research and advocacy work. She attributes much of her career passion to her early upbringing in Guyana and exposure to the effects of economic, educational, and health disparities. Her grandfather’s sudden death in his early 60s, coupled with her experience growing up in a resource-limited country and her love of science, ultimately led her down the physician-scientist career path. She moved to Brooklyn, New York, as teenager and her experiences in a second resource-poor environment further fortified her passion for medicine and to make a difference in the lives of vulnerable populations. ­ Michelle Albert, MD MPH During my upbringing in Guyana, I witnessed poverty and how it links to health conditions. Everyone faces adversity in life, however not all adversity leads to poor health outcomes. Experiencing adversity is something people can relate to. Due to my chemistry background, my initial research projects were rooted in basic science. However, I wanted to translate this work to the community. My goal was to use my interest in biochemical mechanisms and molecules, and relate these to population science. As my work evolved, …

采访 Michelle Albert, MD MPH

Michelle Albert 博士是黑人心脏病学家协会的现任主席、大学心脏病学家协会的第 60 任主席以及美国心脏协会的候任主席。她是第一位同时担任这三个领导职位的心脏病专家，并因其研究和宣传工作而获得多项奖项。她将自己的职业热情大部分归功于她在圭亚那的早期成长经历以及受到经济、教育和健康差距影响的影响。她的祖父 60 岁出头突然去世，再加上她在资源有限的国家长大的经历和她对科学的热爱，最终使她走上了医师-科学家的职业道路。她搬到纽约布鲁克林，十几岁的时候，她在第二个资源匮乏的环境中的经历进一步增强了她对医学的热情，并改变了弱势群体的生活。Michelle Albert, MD MPH 在我在圭亚那长大的过程中，我目睹了贫困以及它与健康状况的关系。每个人都面临生活中的逆境，但并非所有逆境都会导致健康状况不佳。经历逆境是人们可以与之相关的事情。由于我的化学背景，我最初的研究项目植根于基础科学。但是，我想将这项工作翻译给社区。我的目标是利用我对生化机制和分子的兴趣，并将这些与人口科学联系起来。随着我工作的发展，…… MD MPH 在我在圭亚那长大的过程中，我目睹了贫困以及它与健康状况的关系。每个人都面临生活中的逆境，但并非所有逆境都会导致健康状况不佳。经历逆境是人们可以与之相关的事情。由于我的化学背景，我最初的研究项目植根于基础科学。但是，我想将这项工作翻译给社区。我的目标是利用我对生化机制和分子的兴趣，并将这些与人口科学联系起来。随着我工作的发展，…… MD MPH 在我在圭亚那长大的过程中，我目睹了贫困以及它与健康状况的关系。每个人都面临生活中的逆境，但并非所有逆境都会导致健康状况不佳。经历逆境是人们可以与之相关的事情。由于我的化学背景，我最初的研究项目植根于基础科学。但是，我想将这项工作翻译给社区。我的目标是利用我对生化机制和分子的兴趣，并将这些与人口科学联系起来。随着我工作的发展，…… 我想把这项工作翻译给社区。我的目标是利用我对生化机制和分子的兴趣，并将这些与人口科学联系起来。随着我工作的发展，…… 我想把这项工作翻译给社区。我的目标是利用我对生化机制和分子的兴趣，并将这些与人口科学联系起来。随着我工作的发展，……
