- I didnāt become a physician for status. I did it to change my community, teach, and support childrenās mental health. This is my calling, and I wonāt stop.
- The Ledets #matched to @iu_tripleBoard as a pediatrician, adult psychiatrist, and child and adolescent psychiatrist. Dreams come true.
00:00 - It's my first day as a #Peds resident at Riley Hospital for Children! Send me some good thoughts. Can't express how happy I am to be in this position. The beginning of my Triple Board Training at @IndianaUniv! #MedTwitter #Pediatrics
- My wife and I had a talk. She insisted I keep in visible range three things when I am driving my car: 1) my medical school ID 2) my white coat 3) my stethoscope around the rear view mirror Why? Her thoughts: it might make police hesitate just a little. Just maybe. #Maybeš„ŗ
- Black Men in Medicine featuring Dr. Ledet, Dr. Ogunbekun and Dr. Etienne! Yeah, our ancestors would be proud!
- As the first Black male Triple Board resident at Indiana University, @drrussellledet is breaking new ground and setting a powerful example for aspiring doctors. He is a trailblazer who is reshaping the face of medicine. #Trailblazer #DrRussellLedet #MedTwitter
- Dr. Nakita Mortimer, I'm sorry #medicine failed you. I often wonder how many physicians are we going to lose before this becomes a focus for healthcare in a meaningful way. Won't have attendings if we can't protect residents! #SuicidePrevention
- Coming from where I come from, this doesn't seem real, but here we are. Applying to #tripleboard and #psychiatry residencyššæ #match2022 #MedTwitter
- Infusing my culture into my practice as a Black physician is vital. It ensures comprehensive, empathetic care and paves the way for future generations. #CultureXMedicine #BlackPhysician
- Tell Capitol Hill Lake Charles, Louisiana sent me! #goodtrouble
- I'd be willing to bet that nearly every minority resident has shared a meaningful moment with a cafeteria worker, administrator, greeter, janitor, engineer, or another healthcare adjacent worker in the hospital. Let's be honest, diversity in medicine is still lacking.
- š Honored and humbled to share that I've been selected for Alpha Omega Alpha! š This journey has been incredible, and I'm bursting with excitement. It's more than an honor; it's a celebration of dedication, compassion, and excellence. š #AOAInductee #MedTwitter
