Moving to BlueSky where I am confident there will be more information integrity, community trust, and less propaganda. bsky.app/profile/timhong.bsk…

Read the latest NAEMSP Position Statement titled “Caring for Transgender and Gender Diverse Prehospital Patients” from @TimHongMD, @AndraMF, @AnjniJoiner, @HaamidtheMD, et al. Another great resource from NAEMSP.

It's Pride Month, and we recently made @TimHongMD's #NAEMSP2023 session, which focuses on caring for LGBTQ patients and highlights major research gaps for LGBTQ+ representation in the EMS workforce, available for free via @ProdigyEMS. Watch it now: link.prodigyems.com/LGBTQ

#EMS clinicians should be aware of recent proposals of discriminatory legislation aimed at the #LGBTQ population. We partnered with @NAEMSP to bring you @TimHongMD's 2023 Annual Meeting presentation: free CE included. link.prodigyems.com/LGBTQ
Proud of @NAEMSP for taking action help to protect LGB and especially transgender patients and community members.
We have recently seen a wave of discriminatory legislation aimed at LGBTQ communities in America. In light of this worrying trend, NAEMSP has worked with our partner Prodigy to make @TimHongMD's 2023 Annual Meeting presentation available for free with CME: link.prodigyems.com/LGBTQ

Excellent and accessible review of the science around gender affirming care by @marcibdoc @nytimes nytimes.com/2023/04/01/opini…

.@TimHongMD is discussing providing culturally competent care in the prehospital setting as our subspecialty continues to advance in the field of #DEI, focusing on health disparities, evidence-based practice, & recommendations to promote equity, safety, & inclusion. #NAEMSP2023

It did not go unnoticed how many female EMS fellows are here at #GatheringEagles22. Love seeing the representation and the progress that this subspecialty is making! #FemInEMS @PEMEMS @GradyMED1 @DrHeidiAbraham @CourtneyShayMD @AndraMF

So awesome to be at Eagles with these two!

One of the joys of #GatheringEagles22 & previous conferences is getting to meet #EMSFellows, the future of our subspecialty. 81 fellows matched to 70 program in 2021. I don't know the male-female breakdown, but certainly @TimHongMD is outnumbered here! What a great looking group!

Say it louder for the people in the back: equity in #EMS matters and gathering data is crucial. @BenWWeston shares how the Milwaukee system approached this #GatheringEagles22 @EaglesGather

Amazing results from Albuquerque EMS and Dr. Kimberly Pruett on EMS-led post stroke care #GatheringEagles22 @EaglesGather @1stThere1stCare
#SFDPH is preparing for extreme heat and wildfire smoke, looking for community based orgs to participate in creating strategies to protect the most vulnerable populations in the city. PAID participation. Anyone know of appropriate CBO’s around? #disasterpreparedness #HealthEquity

Under Crisis Standards of Care, EMS is directed to only transport the most severe cases. The criteria for not transporting patients under the age of 60 is below.
Timothy Hong (he/him) retweeted
The Chief Medical Officer at CDPHE reactivated Crisis Standards of Care for Emergency Medical Services (EMS). With many EMS staff out ill and with high demands for patient transports, guidance to the EMS providers on how to best use their services is needed at this time.

This is a brave stance by Steve Simon and the WTA where we put principle above $ and stand up for women everywhere and particularly for Peng Shuai.
Now - what say you, @IOC ?!? #IOC - so far I can barely hear you!!!

What to do now?
1) If not vaxxed, get vaxxed
2) If not boosted & >4-5 mths out, get boosted
3) Get prepared mentally to act more cautiously if Omicron proves to be more infectious, immune-evasive, or both
4) Follow the news & science – will be much clearer in 2-3 wks
5) That's it
Thank you @CortlynBrownMD and @rosnydaniel for being DEI leaders and changemakers in Emergency Medicine!
