He was pursuing a business degree in night school when he took a biology course and had an epiphany: He wanted to be a doctor. He sold the business and went to medical school, becoming a doctor at age 47. His inspirational story has been featured on the CBS Evening News, an AARP documentary, and the Kelly Clarkson Show.

The AIAMC Book Club selection for 2021 is the excellent memoir Crazy Brave by Joy Harjo, the First Native American Poet Laureate of the United States. Joy Harjo's memoir is the perfect companion to the journey we are taking as a community of healthcare leaders and educators. As we arise from the complexities of the COVID 19 pandemic an all that we have learned, let us take an opportunity to stretch ourselves and better understand how our differences are truly our strengths. Part poetry, part unflinching hard truths and part spiritual quest, Crazy Brave offers us a space to break open to find our own voices, improve our ability to listen, and to see through the vision of this uniquely gifted artist. We recommend you consider experiencing this book as an audible narration as hearing the stories and poetry in Joy Harjo's own voice is a true gift.
