New @AAMCtoday data show that in the 2024 match cycle, medical students were less likely to apply to #ObGyn programs in states with abortion bans or restrictions—even though the overall number of applicants to the field increased. Read our full statement: https://t.co/QRYtIMXboa

Emergency access to abortion care can be the only way to save the lives of people experiencing complications caused or exacerbated by pregnancy. More than two dozen leading medical organizations urge #SCOTUS not to weaken #EMTALA. Read the full statement: https://t.co/SVNK25yBpY

TW: suicide
There is an empty corner desk in a resident workroom at GW. Now forever engraved in my mind, that desk is a harrowing reminder of the cost of medical training. In his final words, Dr. William West said that he was simply out of gas, that he had nothing left to give.

Had so much fun at the #IDSOG50 conference w/ @Karley_dutra, @neennzzz, and our mentor Dr. Lazenby! Was great to present our research on STD surveillance and disparities in routine pregnancy screening @MUSC_OBGYN_Res

Countless researchers owe their success to #HenriettaLacks, born 103 years ago today, whose cells were taken without her consent to create the first immortal cell line. She and her family received no compensation, despite the use of her cells in many scientific breakthroughs. 1/2

It's published!👏Excited to share my thesis research in BMC Preg Childbirth. "In avg-risk pts, virtual prenatal visits provide a patient-centered alternative to in-person appts w/ high measures of patient experience and no sig difference in satisfaction."

"Obstetricians should explore #telemed to improve access – and, during the pandemic, to limit exposures – using pt's experiences for guidance. More research is needed re virtual visit quality, integration into prenatal care, & provision of equitable care for diverse populations."

“If courts can overturn drug approvals without regard for science or evidence,” the letter said, “or for the complexity required to fully vet the safety and efficacy of new drugs, any medicine is at risk for the same outcome as mifepristone.”

[MDJ | Danielle Jones, MD, FACOG @MamaDoctorJones]

Things comparatively less safe than Mifepristone:

Pregnancy (15x)
Viagra (8x)
Penicillin (2x)

This med is safe, used around the world, and is part of the safest management of miscarriage.

This is not about safety.

“It literally can pulverize bones … it can provide this blast effect.”

The AR-15 is the weapon of choice for many mass killers. The Post sought to illustrate the lethal force of the weapon and show in detail its catastrophic effects. https://t.co/0JCZbk7yKm

When politicians insert themselves in exam rooms to interfere with the patient-physician relationship, politicize deeply personal health decisions, or criminalize evidence-based care, we will not back down. We will always stand up for our policies, physicians & patients. #AMAmtg
