Shout out to @ToledoLucasHD for not just having free #narcan at the farmers market, but providing training too. Proudly carrying two boxes and happy to teach my kids that this is one way we can love *all* of our neighbors.

As Tulane begins to “trend” for this ACGME decision, please remember those of us on the ground level. Those of us who work tirelessly day in and out for ourselves, our patients, and the incredible New Orleans community.

Best way to stay alert during intern year during exhaustion?

(Yes sleeping when you can). But we will also have long shifts - some 28 hours.

What tips and tricks do y’all have? Caffeine? Energy drinks? When do you sleep on post call day? Do you sleep right when you get home?

@proanoA @gradydoctor Ha! Honored to be mentioned. My hand eye coordination isn't this good but I'd give it a college try!

🚨We need your help!🚨

Seventh District Officers located Daniella, a 2-year-old Hispanic female, walking alone in the 7000 block of Bundy Rd. We need assistance locating her parent/guardian. If you recognize this child, please call #NOPD’s Child Abuse Office at 504-658-5267.

Asking residents to spend additional time outside of work completing modules on "sleep deprivation training" has got to be the most patronizing and useless ACGME requirement ever created. #changemymind

This is the most encouraging thread I've seen on #MedTwitter in a hot minute.

[erica, mph msed @ECritty]

How many of you on #MedTwitter didn’t do well on their first MCAT attempt? 🙋🏽‍♀️

[Dr. Katie Gandert MD (she/her/hers) @GandertMd]

@ECritty @MSUMD Also shout out to others with #chronicillness trying to survive the med school, premed, and residency grind. This system and its exams were not built for us but we're coming for it anyway! 👊

[Dr. Katie Gandert MD (she/her/hers) @GandertMd]

@ECritty Went into mild DKA during the MCAT (which I haven't done before or since as a diabetic) & scored much worse than on practice tests. Grateful to @MSUMD for seeing beyond my score on my med school app. Start my chief resident year in 3 months. Tests are not the whole picture!

@uche_blackstock @Sifill_LDF @60Minutes Every time I hear him interviewed, he changes the way I think about something else. Incredible!

I think the @GOP’s priorities are a bit off, don’t you? #GOP

[Dr. Katie Gandert MD (she/her/hers) @GandertMd]

Trying to be better at this. I promise I'm actively working on it (like, scheduling time to learn). Friends, please consider this an open invite to call me out whenever I'm not up to an acceptable standard. Please.

Allyship is a lifetime’s work. Systems of oppression evolve and get smarter over time, and so should your allyship.

[Dr. Katie Gandert MD (she/her/hers) @GandertMd]

@Enrique_GvD So happy to! Congrats on making it this far and very best of luck on all your future endeavors!!

A poem about motherhood to brighten your day as we consider #BMWH and celebrate the strength of black mammas:
CHERISHED
By: April N. Brown

You woke, and I smiled
I cherish your every move
You sleep, and I pray
