On March 19, two-time NBA All-Star and Tacoma native Isaiah Thomas visited the UW Department of Pediatrics to meet with residents and share his journey. A former UW Huskies basketball standout, Thomas spoke about resilience, overcoming obstacles, and leading both on and off the court.
He acknowledged the dedication and grit it took to succeed in his career, and recognized the intense demands residents face at this stage of their training. His message resonated with the group, offering encouragement and perspective from someone who has faced — and conquered — his own high-pressure challenges.
