@bradchattergoon So no, it is not a "straight out of HS internship"

[Kussil Oumedjbeur, MD MSc CCFP @DrKussil]

@bradchattergoon The premise of your tweet is false. This person is from Quebec, Canada, which has a different education system than the rest of Canada/US. She graduated from Marianopolis, which is a pre-university, post-secondary institution. Often equivalent to U0/U1 level courses.

Hello X👋🏻

I'm a final yr EM resident / POCUS fellow based in Montreal 🇨🇦 looking for residency elective/research opportunities in the field of aerospace medicine across 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇪🇺.

Interests: innovation, robotics, human factors/performance, microgravity physiology

RTs appreciated!

[Kristine MD @Astorshuman]

Looking for opportunities in SF at the intersection of medicine and technology!

Was inspired by @majamediaco's tweet to make my own website to share what I'm looking for in this next chapter

@arghavan_salles "One thing about being a surgeon is realizing how bad non surgical specialties are at operating !

Erm... Ok

@criticalsfl @DrNadolsky Risk/benefits balance... There are still considerable risks of using GLP1a molecules in patients who could benefit from less risky and more cost/ressource-efficient management. It's just common sense.

@LouisRLCM @AKatyukha Absolutely, you are right! There is a certain standard of competency any practicing clinician should attain. I believe the message here is that past that point, we should value skills such as professionalism, good communication, cultural awareness and advocacy for social justice

[Dr. Alika Lafontaine MD @AlikaMD]

If you have two equally competent health providers, patients will usually pick the one who connects with them on a deeper level.

In fact, patients often pick less competent providers strictly because they connect with them better.

The goal of training should always be clinical excellence, but that’s not the end point in real life.

Well designed EDI programs help providers connect with patients more deeply. Clinical excellence and EDI don’t have to be either/or.

@LouisRLCM @AKatyukha From the CanMEDS framework.*

[Kussil Oumedjbeur, MD MSc CCFP @DrKussil]

@LouisRLCM @AKatyukha Medical expertise is already central in our medical training. The goal of CanMEDS is to provide a complementary framework for the development of soft skills that are crucial to a socially informed clinical practice.

Superior outcomes for Aquablation vs. TURP after 5 years. See our paper and results here 👇

[Dr_KevinZorn @Dr_KevinZorn]

Proud of @DrKussil WATER #bph team for publication @canjurol - comparison of #aquablation vs TURP in men with 50-80cc prostates. Bottom line= Aquablation yields SUPERIOR long-term symptom relief & lower complication rates than standard TURP, with lower ejaculatory dysfunction.

[Kussil Oumedjbeur, MD MSc CCFP @DrKussil]

@Dr_KevinZorn @canjurol Thank you Dr. Zorn! I appreciate the opportunity and support. 😊

@jasondhoward83 @dr_jon_l @elonmusk Here's an example: HPV vaccine to protect against endometrial cancer / genital warts --- you still need a biopsy to diagnose cancer

[Kussil Oumedjbeur, MD MSc CCFP @DrKussil]

@SPuro88 @AustenSlade @_ChrisKelly @RomanCarvajal @FCAFigueiredo @fgomsan @jfunkmd 5 year Aquablation subgroup results are being published as we speak... wait for it!

@TharsiniSivanan @allison_brown99 @adibbaadel @KanninOsei @Shima_Afhami @advhlthsciedu Your findings definitely resonate with my experience in a francophone medical school. Congratulations for your hard work! 👏

Please do not check your temperature via your urethra. And if you do, don’t shove it so far that it goes into your bladder and you forget about it for 15 years.

Somehow on call July 1st a second straight year. I still have much to learn but just wanted to share some knowledge nuggets for any incoming residents (and perhaps save my fellow urologists a consult or two)
