First week of post doc at @BostonChildrens is complete and I couldn’t be happier! Excited to take on the year, work with some wonderful people, learn as much as I can, and to explore a very cool city!
And that’s a wrap on residency year! Words cannot express how wonderful this year was. Cleveland Clinic Childrens will forever hold a special place in my heart. Now - time for a much needed break before shipping up to Boston for fellowship in September!
Amazing talk this afternoon about pediatric psychologists as change agents to promote equitable pain care. Can’t wait for the curriculum to go live! @a_hildenbrand24 @katiepainpsych #SPPAC2024
A bit of a delayed update- I am thrilled to announce I accepted a fellowship position at @BostonChildrens / @harvardmed in the Pain Treatment Service! I am honored to be able to continue my training in pediatric pain psych. Looking forward to exploring Boston next year!

Breaking!
Missouri's emergency rule banning gender affirming care for most adults has been terminated.
It appears they do not feel confident they can defend this ban in court. As a result, the rule will not go into effect.
Now, attorneys can focus on overturning the youth ban.
ALT Emergency Rules This page contains emergency rulemakings that have not been published in the Missouri Register. Once an emergency rulemaking has been published in the Missouri Register, it can be found at https://www.sos.mo.gov/adrules/moreg/moreg/. In the authority section of each emergency rulemaking, the issue of the Missouri Register that it will be published in is listed. In each issue of the Missouri Register, there is an index listing all of the emergency rulemakings currently in effect.

Gender care is healthcare.
Science tells us how this ends.
Kids will die without appropriate evidence based care.
