Happy endometriosis awareness month! Grateful to contribute to spreading awareness by publishing a new op ed via @kevinmd https://t.co/CoXvCUOOms

[Alexandra Beem @BeemAlexandra]

And check out some amazing pieces from my @UChiPritzker classmates here: https://t.co/6FDyQwD7Gy

[Alexandra Beem @BeemAlexandra]

Proud of this work, and of all of my classmates whose work has been published so far. Big thanks to @DrRam95 @FutureDocs & @ShikaJainMD!

If you’re a med student with a soapbox, your voice matters! @LahariV and I talked about why with the AMA here: https://t.co/YAFwyEXtWg

#MedStudents have powerful advocacy voices. After learning #OpEd writing in their #HealthPolicy course, @UChiPritzker MS1s had 22 op-eds published in major outlets in 2 years. Read more about their training, by @DrRam95 @ShikhaJainMD @FutureDocs

We're listening to the press conference on the fate of House Bill 68. The governor is explaining that he listened to families speak about the real lived experiences of Transgender youth and the need for gender-affirming care. The bill is vetoed!

[Taytum Kahl @taytumkahl]

Very excited to publish my second op ed in @MsMagazine on another important issue in women’s health — Over-the-Counter Naloxone: A Solution to the Climbing Death Rate from Opioid Overdoses Among Women https://t.co/9K21Oiu9y9

[Alexandra Beem @BeemAlexandra]

Shoutout to @FutureDocs @DrRam95 @ShikhaJainMD @spaulliver and so many others @UChiPritzker, who are teaching us that advocacy is an essential component of good medicine.

[Alexandra Beem @BeemAlexandra]

Trans and gender expansive patients deserve better care than our current medical system can provide.

Here's my op-ed explaining why evidence-based care beyond the binary matters, and what clinicians and researchers can do to get there!

This op-ed was inspired by @cjstreed's fantastic talk at @UChicagoMed, and highlights this recent paper from the LITE Plus study.

[Alexandra Beem @BeemAlexandra]

ICYMI: Fantastic piece by India Hilty, my Pritzker classmate and constant inspiration, about the injustice of Illinois’ lack of parole.

Give it a read, and check out @ParoleIllinois to learn more!

[Chicago Tribune @chicagotribune]

Commentary: Illinois’ lack of parole is not only inhumane, but it also perpetuates existing health inequities in the United States. https://t.co/mtfn8fkhqA

[Alexandra Beem @BeemAlexandra]

If you live in IL, send our reps a nudge about this issue here: https://t.co/RtanGcmBFV

If you don’t, look into your own state’s policy here:
