Those concerns include the family physician describing herself as double board-certified with a degree from the University of Arkansas School of Medicine when, in reality, she attended the American University of the Caribbean’s School of Medicine.

Trump announced he was tapping Means as his new surgeon general on Truth Social Wednesday afternoon, saying that “Casey has impeccable ‘[Make America Healthy Again]’ credentials” and that Kennedy “looks forward to working with Dr. Janette Nesheiwat in another capacity at HHS.”

Means, a Stanford University-trained physician and chronic disease entrepreneur, was previously considered for a spot in the Food and Drug Administration. She and her brother Calley are well-known allies of Kennedy.

Trump underscored Nesheiwat’s credentials when he announced her as his next public health expert last November.

“A proud graduate of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, Dr. Nesheiwat’s journey began with humble roots as one of five children raised by a widowed immigrant mother who worked as a nurse,” Trump wrote at the time.

Trump also cited Nesheiwat’s public health advocacy on the ground and Fox News during the COVID-19 pandemic, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and the 2011 Joplin, Missouri, tornadoes.

“During the COVID-19 pandemic, she worked on the front lines in New York City, treating thousands of Americans, and helped patients in the aftermath of President Donald Trump’s Historic Operation Warp Speed that saved hundreds of millions of lives,” he added, referring to himself in the third person.

Nesheiwat is the sister-in-law of Mike Waltz, whom Trump removed as national security adviser last week and nominated as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations after he accidentally added the editor-in-chief of the Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, to a group chat on Signal discussing military operations against Houthis in Yemen. Waltz is married to her sister, Julia Nesheiwat, who served in the first Trump administration.
