I'm grateful for this opportunity to discuss the tough yet important topic of medical trainee mental health with @LisaRosenbaum17 @NEJM. I encourage you all to listen, especially for Dr. Chris Veal's courageous story. I'll share main points from the discussion and survey I cited:
The latest episode of Not Otherwise Specified takes a sobering look at the mental health of U.S. medical students and trainees, in an era when the pressures can be intolerable but the culture still treats depression as weakness.

For the newly matched (especially in surgery), here are some things no one teaches you about functioning in the hospital: 1. The EMR is not the place to battle things out with another service or take out any other frustrations- pick up the phone and call (cont)

Thanks to Joseph Kannarkat (my former housemate!) and @AmeetSarpatwari for their work on this piece in @JAMAHealthForum. The FDA and Congress face important decisions on implementing reforms laid out in 2013’s Drug Supply Chain Security Act.

Nice work @MichaelWDenham presenting our findings that worse hearing was associated with lower (or even negative*) income growth. *your income declines 😱

Grateful to work with this stellar team! 🎤 A tremendous example of collaboration between medicine and the performing arts to inform medical practice.
Broadway star Drew Gehling nearly lost his vocal range 13 years ago, an ordeal that inspired a first-of-its-kind medical study to help others understand their vocal issues — and keep their voices strong.

Older adults at greater risk for dementia may be able to protect themselves against cognitive decline by almost 50 percent with the use of hearing aids, new research shows. Nearly 2.5 billion people are expected to have some hearing loss, according to WHO. wapo.st/3DlOaJz

Hearing aids reduced cognitive decline in an at-risk subgroup. Results from the long-awaited ACHIEVE randomized controlled trial published in @TheLancet. First of its kind! @JHSPH_Hearing @DrFrankRLin thelancet.com/journals/lance…

Results from the first of its kind ACHIEVE randomized controlled trial. Hearing loss treatment is widely available, low risk, and now relatively affordable.
#AAIC23 While hearing aids did not have an impact on cognitive decline over 3 years in a general population, treating hearing loss protected against cognitive decline in older adults at greater risk of dementia, finds a new trial: hubs.li/Q01XYp_M0

Congrats to Emily Ishak & @MichaelWDenham @ColumbiaPS on their presentation @__COSM showing that we do a much better job at treating and diagnosing hearing loss in kids than older adults. Why? Not right...!
