Proud to support the initiative to unionize UMMC's residents and fellows. Love to see Baltimore's unionizing movement growing!

Big thanks to @MayorBMScott for his strong support for our unionization campaign. He knows that a win for us is a win for Baltimore. It is a true honor for us to serve the people of Baltimore everyday and we thank him for standing by our side in this #unionforever @AFT_Maryland

This may be a parody account but UMMC is proving to be beyond parody by having a carnival in the hospital for National Hospital Week. Quite literally clown behavior from admin

[University of Maryland Resident & Fellow Alliance @UMRFalliance]

Thank you for sharing our story! It's an amazing day!

[University of Maryland Resident & Fellow Alliance @UMRFalliance]

North Carolina doctors are speaking out against the regressive legislation being passed by the General Assembly.

“The North Carolina legislature is stripping doctors of our ability to practice medicine,” Dr. Erica Pettigrew said at a press conference last week.

Oh you’re going to a teaching hospital in July? Well get ready…

for the most compassionate care from extremely empathetic interns along with their vigilant supervising attendings. Hope you like open ended questions and doctors listening to you bc you’re gonna drown in it.

@Margare54602010 A high percentage of ASD humans go into science so really Autism probably causes vaccines.

Improve resident wellness.

Mandatory wellness days off. Required time for health (dentists, Pap smears, annual check ups). Therapy outside of typical business hours. Increased pay. Affordable childcare.

Create a space for residents to live more like their non-medical peers.

Anger is just sad’s bodyguard. I always remember that before I judge.

Time to bust some anti-union myths 😉

Hospitals love to use the same half-truths & misinformation to stop residents from unionizing. Why? B/c they know we can’t find a different job like other workers & want to keep using us as cheap labor & maximize profits.

So listen up 🧵↓
