@DrJenChen4kids@ChildrensLA I know so crazy, right?!? She is in a fierce 6 year old. I can't wait to see what she grows up to do in life. Actually I can. She is growing way to fast for my liking!
Amazing group of women in PEM highlighting the desire for mentorship through our career trajectories in PEM! Behind every successful person is a mentor who provide sage wisdom, needed advice, and connections to opportunities. @PASMeeting#PAS2023
A special congratulations to my mentor @TamaraSimonMD and my PEM fellow Dr. Alexa Monroy for winning amazing APA awards @PASMeeting! Congratulations to all the awardees! @ChildrensLA#PAS2023
So proud of our @ChildrensLA PEM fellow Dr. Gabriela Moriel for presenting her poster at @PASMeeting on variability in pain medication administration to children with suspected pediatric appendicitis. We must address their pain early and often. #PEM#PAS2023
Introducing your incoming @AcademicPeds President @JeanLRaphael & President Elect 👑me 🤗. And just a snapshot of the leaders in pediatrics. Our future is bright 🌈 ☀️😎
Excellent presentation by Dr. Alexa Monroy. Her study demonstrated that lower Child Opportunity Index is associated with a higher rate of trauma. #PAS2023@ChildrensLA#PEM#injury
We feel so inspired by the wonderful group that joined us for Improv for Equity at #pas2023. In addition to working alongside these friends, this work is built in partnership with @RuschRachel and Katie Watson #medicalimprov#improvforequity#pedspc
Dr. Jordee Wells highlighted disparities in cervical spine injury evaluation in children. Doctors had lower suspicion of neck injury although injury rate was higher in Hispanic & Black children. There was a higher rate of imaging in non-Hispanic white children. #PECARN#PAS2023
#PECARN at #PAS2023. Cervical spine imaging variation exists in general EDs in which CTs are used at substantially different rates than pediatric EDs. @PERN_network . A first step towards decreasing ionizing radiation to this important cohort. @nkuppermann@PECARNteam
Dr. Pradip Chaudhari Cervical imaging rates in pediatric patients were much lower in children seen in pediatric EDs vs general EDs. Application of a pediatric cervical spine rule can help narrow these discrepancies. #PAS2023#PECARN@ChildrensLA
Your patients should not have to pay for mental health services with their own blood.
Don’t draw screening labs for medical clearance unless clinically indicated.
