Match Day trends from public ERAS data. Rads, derm, and PM&R growing in popularity while emergency, family med, peds, and psych are losing doctors. Med students are following incentives…where will this leave us in yrs when we show up to the ER and there are few docs there? 📉

Powerful data shared by keynote Echo-Hawk on data genocide of Indigenous populations, why being counted matters - even/especially if not statistically significant, acting on racism, art, resilience and healing and so much more. So many things to do, gotta get working #ASBH2022

“We can’t have solidarity without reckoning” - Charlene Galarneau #ASBH22 #Solidarity #justice #publicbioethics – at Portland, OR
Amazing conversations at the first full day of #ASBH22! So grateful for this community.
Such an emotional day. Acknowledging grief for so many wounds and evils in our history but hopeful for the future. And with young poets like @TheAmandaGorman and leaders like @VP Kamala Harris and @JoeBiden there is a lot to be hopeful for.
And as each of us conquers mountains, large and small, we have a responsibility to pave the way for those who come behind. #womenhelpingwomen
Progress is better but not good enough. Research is a small piece of the #PedsICU inequality. <1/3 of PCCM division chiefs are women & currently 1 woman sits on the @PedCritCareMed Senior Editorial Board. We propose a pathway to understand & improve #PedsICU gender inequalities
Cheers to all the housekeeping staff and all frontline healthcare workers. This vaccine couldn’t get here soon enough but thank God for this glimmer of hope... the beginning of the end.
Angela Mattingly, a hospital housekeeper in Iowa, was one of the first people in the U.S. to receive the coronavirus vaccine on Monday. Mattingly has been cleaning the rooms of people with Covid-19 since the start of the pandemic. nyti.ms/37hvMT2
In the fall issue of Critical Connections, Dr. Catherine Heith and I write about the importance of integrating palliative care in the ICU to support authentic decision-making. #SCCMSoMe #pedPC #bioethics
Priority to receive the #COVID19Vaccine should go to healthcare workers with other chronic conditions and to those who have the most exposure, inside OR OUTSIDE the hospital. Their degree should have nothing to do with it.
As an ICU doctor working with adequate PPE, I have a lower risk of acquiring COVID than my co-workers who take the bus to work.
Everyone who works at my hospital is an #essentialworker and should have equal access to the #Pfizervaccine

If there's a baby boom in 9 months, it'll consist entirely of first-born children.

At @PASMeeting where the crowd for the session on Racism as an Adverse Childhood Experience is spilling out into the hallway. The impact of experiencing racism on a child’s health and development is exactly what we need to be recognizing and talking about.

Congratulations to @LuriePICU Attending, and @NUFSMPediatrics Faculty, @nelsonSpinto on his funded R21 entitled "A Data-Driven Analysis of Pediatric Organ Dysfunction Patterns To Discover Sepsis Phenotypes."
Appreciate hearing from @ProfLBNielsen during the @NorthwesternU Faculty Senate meeting on Academic Freedom, reminding us that free speech is not neutral in this country, that social context matters, that we have a responsibility to privilege the disadvantaged.

Federal data suggests that the real crisis of schools isn’t violence, but the lack of enough support staff to serve students’ mental health needs. bit.ly/2CgwG2r

Many experts agree, it is critical for a child to have a constant, caring and engaged adult in their life as well as a safe environment to help mitigate the impact of trauma and build resiliency. bit.ly/2BhKlWF

Note to all #WomenInMedicine: Be outraged about the pay gap between men and women Docs. I’m with you. But be equally outraged that White women make more than Black/Hispanic women Docs. #Unity #TogetherWeRise money.cnn.com/2018/03/14/new…
