I enjoyed sharing my thoughts on the Scope of Internal Medicine! One thing is certain: technology will be a major part of the future of healthcare. Internists MUST add our voices to policy development to shape this future in the interest of patient safety. @christufton @ACPIMPhysicians @tristonsmithmd

This Global Week for Action on NCDs, join the growing call to remove unhealthy food and drink marketing from in and around schools and school-related activities.
From branding and sponsorships to giveaways and vending machines, our children are exposed to marketing in places designed for learning and development.
Enough! It is time for action @mamottley @BajanDiplomat @santiabradshaw @ryan_straughn @PAHOCaribbean @munroknight @gisbarbados @KIRKHUMPHREYBLP
