This future doctor is CANCER-FREE! "No evidence of disease" classification following body scan and tumor markers. The past 2 years have not been easy, especially since starting med school, but I'm already feeling amore free and excited to keep moving forward! #thyroidcancer🦋♥️

Hats off to our Alliance of Disabilities & Chronic Illness in Medicine students for their work at the Special Olympics Opening Eyes event!

“ When I left my parents, I had never felt so guilty, that they had to be confined to this home where neither could get a break, and nobody could help them —while I got to feel relief.” Thank you to this sib for articulating this unique experience. https://t.co/08UuMnRkWz
DON’T worry if you’re a solo traveler! Even if you come to National Conference without anyone from your school, you won’t be alone. I ran into folks I knew from here on Twitter, a friend from high school who’s also applying this year, and a family friend who is a resident! (2/5)
That’s a wrap for 2023 #AAFPNC! Meeting so many docs and students passionate about primary care has me so excited to be part of the #FMRevolution@FIUMedicine
Running into old pre-med friends from my @UCF days at #AAFPNC was SO special! I can't believe these Knights are going to be family doctors or already are family docs (s/o to Dr. Vin Thomas)!!!
The countdown is on! T-minus three days until #AAFPNC 🤩 I’m so excited to meet my future colleagues and to network with different residency programs I’m interested in!

People with profound autism often go unseen. Fortunately, the CDC did a prevalence study in 2023 that helped quantify how many people actually have profound autism. Our goal is to ensure these valuable human beings have access to the unique services and supports they need.

Stunned and deeply saddened to see @Nature platform a thoroughly debunked and dangerous pseudoscience like facilitated communication...As "the international journal of science," don't you think you should, I don't know, check the science??? https://t.co/zfRKToQcuD
ICYMI: The U.S. could hit the debt ceiling as early as June 1. This bill could result in millions of people losing access to Medicaid! Send a message NOW to tell Congress: NO Cuts to Medicaid and NO Work Rules! https://t.co/VKTHVmPKcO
