More than a little late to share the news, but I’m so excited to be a Pediatrics Gastroenterology Fellow @WashUMedGIPeds!

[Ben Malamet, MD @BenMalamet]

Where did the time go?! I officially submitted my application for pediatric gastroenterology fellowship!

I've been thinking about compassion and pediatricians.

There's an idea that pediatricians are "softer" than internal medicine docs because we take care of kids. And kids are cute! Funny! Sticky! 1/

Here’s the Chest X-Ray of a young girl suffering from a condition that is now the #1 cause of death in children and adolescents in the U.S.

What’s the diagnosis?

[Washington University Pediatrics Residency @WashU_PedsRes]

Congratulations to all the future pediatricians who matched today! We are so proud to announce our intern class! #futurepedsresidents @WUSTLPeds We can’t wait to meet you this June!

@SusanMorand @AltintasBurakMD Now this is personalized medicine!

@PaulBozykMD Everyday is crazy socks day in pediatrics!

I'm devastated by the school shooting at Central VPA in St. Louis. Pediatricians & HCWs were prepared for this tragedy because elected officials repeatedly fail to prevent it. Firearms are the #1 cause of death in US children.@ThisIsOurLane #STLStrong #PhysiciansForGunControl

Just ran into the first baby that I discharged from the NICU! Now a healthy thriving 3 month old. I love being a pediatrician 😍

[Ben Malamet, MD @BenMalamet]

As pediatricians we will continue to advocate fiercely for our patients, the care that they deserve, and for the prevention of future tragedies. Our kids deserve childhoods without this trauma.

[Ben Malamet, MD @BenMalamet]

A school shooting occurred at the high school just blocks from my apartment. An unthinkable, but all too common tragedy. 🧵

[Ben Malamet, MD @BenMalamet]

My heart goes out to the victims and their families. I’m deeply saddened by the effects this will have on the children of my community. I am proud of my colleagues who cared for victims today.

[Washington University Pediatrics Residency @WashU_PedsRes]

During this historically busy respiratory viral season, we are reminded how lucky we are to work with residents like senior Callie Marshall, MD (@MarshCallowMD) and the yellow team @AltintasBurakMD @SusanMorand @BenMalamet Thanks for taking great care of kids and one other!

[Ben Malamet, MD @BenMalamet]

Pediatrics has the most fun! I have the best team 🏆

@DoctorBecki How do I get a pair and are they comfy?! 😮

[Ben Malamet, MD @BenMalamet]

Dr. Ben Malamet! It is such an honor and a privilege to become a physician, and am so thankful for my wonderful friends, family, and mentors who have gotten me to where I am today!

[Ben Malamet, MD @BenMalamet]

@SusanMorand @MonaHannaA @MedBookClub1 I’m so jealous! Currently reading this one too!

[Ben Malamet, MD @BenMalamet]

Had such an amazing day with my Michigan advocacy team fighting to get patients the timely care they deserve!

[Ben Malamet, MD @BenMalamet]

So many amazing meetings for #IBDinDC today advocating for the Safe Step Act and Medical Nutrition Equity Act! Got to round out my day with my representative and IBD advocate @RepAndyLevin as well as @CrohnsColitisFn President Michael Osso!
