Huge Thanks to Senator Jack Reed @SenJackReed + staff Jill Boland and Senator Sheldon Whitehouse + staff Rachel Fybel for taking time to meet with the RI AAP advocacy delegation today #AAPAdvocacy2021 and offering support for Strengthening the Vaccines for Children Program 2021
These numbers are still blowing my mind! 722 participants from 50 states holding 362 meetings with legislative offices with all major parties. This is pediatrician power at work! #AAPAdvocacy2021
“Your job as an advocate is not to change someone’s mind. Your job is to change their behaviors...If their beliefs don’t match mine, I, at least, can change their outcome. Sometimes you can get to the same goal for different reasons.” @staceyabrams#AAPAdvocacy2021
“It’s not by accident that we have built these systems that produce the harms that they do” -@priteshgandhimd
wrapping up day 1 of #AAPAdvocacy2021 on a poignant note. It’s on us to dismantle these systems and create equitable one.
@MAdibemed @KeiMD If you haven’t already, check with the GME at your new institution. Some like mine offer a 0% interest ‘loan’ that is just subtracted from our paycheck until it’s paid off. It essentially just functions as an advance
Tulane Med-Peds with the 100% URiM match and I COULD NOT BE MORE THRILLED!!!!! We must continue to foster a welcoming community for people of ALL backgrounds, especially in our diverse patient population. Transformative times, yall! Let’s GOOO!! #medpeds#match2021#medtwitter
Happy Match Day to everyone matching today! So excited for some amazing new colleagues 😍 @FuturePedsRes May you all find joy and support wherever you go (And so jazzed to welcome new folks to @BrownPediatrics, look at us! We are adorable!)
Can we root this 7 year-old girl on while acknowledging that she shouldn't have to sell lemonade to fund her own brain surgery? How many children don't have the support she does? Healthcare is a right. #M4A#MedicareForAll https://t.co/GOrfkRyk0u
CALLING ALL MEDICAL STUDENTS, RESIDENTS, FELLOWS, AND MEDICAL FACULTY: Please join me in signing this letter in support of Tulane trainees and faculty as they fight recurrent harassment and discrimination. This cannot and will not stand. #DNRTulane https://t.co/evtHSyEJIL
As a resident, I stand in solidarity with my peers at Tulane who feel demoralized and betrayed by the repeated harassment & discrimination they and their program leadership have faced at the hands of Tulane's GME. Please join me in amplifying their voices https://t.co/ufYx5SbAqS
"Development of curricula for future #healthcare providers should include, if not emphasize, opportunities for students to volunteer in a clinical capacity with vulnerable populations."
Check out the work of @TulaneMedicine alum @AaronMBrug, @CatherineCounts & team @ClinicTusom
Clinical service learning has the potential to decrease health care provider stigma towards vulnerable patient populations//Exciting for this project to finally make it to press. Shoutout to the dream team of @CatherineCounts & Linda Nix for helping to get it over the finish line
