@jasonryanmd This feels like a 'read my mind' test for applicants. When I interview for residency, I care more about their experience, adaptability, and teamwork. If I wanted the patient’s perspective, I'd interview them instead.
A huge welcome to the class of 2027!!!! We are so excited to meet you all and have you join the UTEM residency family! 🎉🥳👏🏼 #Match2024#UtoledoMatch#EMMatch
Medical school admissions metrics that are linked to wealth:

Grateful to @UToledoEM, @UToledo, & @UToledoMed for this incredible recognition and the opportunity to pursue my passion. Truly humbled by the support!
Incoming med students / residents:
Your perspective is raw, necessary and essential
Pay attention to the racial+ethnic composition of your hospital/ university’s custodial, janitorial and essential working staff
Most will be from surrounding low-income communities - the very same communities where patients - who disproportionately suffer healthcare disparities- are from
If there’s a difference in the racial / ethnic composition of your hospitals’ physician workforce vs the essential / custodial staff - ask yourself why? What barriers exist in this group to be represented amongst physicians?
These racial / ethnic differences are DISPARITIES themselves -
Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise #MedTwitter
I think the fact that only 6% of resident physicians would qualify for financial hardship/relief is indicative of a larger problem with the medical school selection process.
I will never understand a consultant that, after introducing myself on the phone, they just respond with “what” or “yep”. Like have you ever spoken to someone in your entire life? What is that ? Lol.
@Stephanie_C21 It's frustrating when others expect me to serve as a Spanish interpreter without acknowledging the broader importance of Latin culture and representation in healthcare
Today at church I wore my National Latino Physician Day shirt. A white woman asked me about it and then proceeded to say “when I see shirts like that, I wish I could make a white physician shirt or make white physician day” she is not a physician. I’m shocked. Quiet. 🧵
Humbled and grateful to have received the prestigious nomination and acceptance into the Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) Honor Medical Society. 🙏 @AOA_society@UToledoEM#MedEd#AOA#EMBound
Hearing about a Latina who has a 3.5 GPA (having to work 20 hours a week) at an Ivy League school and is being actively discourage from applying to medical school by advisors is exactly the reason why this system is biased, inequitable and needs to be reconstructed. That’s coming from a plastic surgeon.
