This is quite remarkable wow!

We are profoundly grateful that Dr. Ruth Gottesman, Professor Emerita of Pediatrics at @EinsteinMed, has made a transformational gift to #MontefioreEinstein—the largest to any medical school in the country—that ensures no student has to pay tuition again. bit.ly/3wvBj7y

Proud to be a woman in anesthesiology, forever thankful to my mentor, a fellow woman in anesthesiology @JuneChanMD 🫶🏼

@drcyntan is a CA-2 at @RutgersNJMS and an IMG (@warwickmed @LSHTM) crediting her success to 💪mentorship. Unsurprisingly, she's paying it forward - mentoring IMGs currently applying. Look for her applying for ACTA fellowship and playing with her cheeky Norwegian Elkhound, Loki!

This. The number of IMGs I know who matched and had their spot rescinded by programs and NRMP because of visa issues are very sad. As an IMG who faced visa issues myself, I cannot stress the importance of this awareness.

Unfortunately, many US med students and even residents are unfamiliar w/ J-1visa and/or #ECFMG process as well as difference b/w MBBS & MD/DO systems-helpful when #IMG's can help guide another IMG w/process and recommend programs: ama-assn.org/education/inte… #SOAP2022 #InsideTheMatch

Study up on all of these diseases, and avoid operating on ones that are not operative lesions.

These are elementary school children who woke up this morning. Who ate their favorite cereal. Who tied their shoes in double knots. Who laughed with friends on the bus. Now more than a dozen are dead. This isn’t normal. It doesn’t have to be this way. It can’t keep being this way

I complimented a woman in clinic on her kick-ass boots. Unfortunately, she turned out to have breast cancer. She very kindly bought me my own pair of boots. I performed her surgery today and wore them to see her pre op. She also wore hers so that together we could #kickcancersass

Someone posted a photo of this 80-year-old who showed up to join the army, carrying with him a small case with 2 t-shirts, a pair of extra pants, a toothbrush and a few sandwiches for lunch. He said he was doing it for his grandkids.

I end all of my clinic visits with "What did I not ask that I should have?" and then "OK what did we not talk about that you hoped we would?"

OSCE (clinical exams) in the new wheelchair completed ✅ didn’t run over any patients or doctors so I class it as a success 🎉 I hope I can pave the way for other med students/hopefuls that becoming a doctor is possible with a disability 💙 #FND #FunctionalNeurologicalDisorder

1/11 So you hear an extra heart sound. Now what? First: Is the extra sound near S1 or S2? Each scenario is associated with a different differential. Listen to this clip. Is the extra sound here near S1 or S2? (All sounds in this thread best heard with headphones/good speakers)

I really can’t fathom this: patient refusal of blood transfusion because the blood could be tainted with Covid vaccine 😳😳😳 What have we come to?
