Wonderful week in the MICU with a very talented team. Here's to making sure we’re willing to challenge assumptions and stay curious.
Check out the latest edition of 'MICU Pebbles' by Dr. @MarkDSiegel1, part 2 is packed with pearls! 🩺✨

Bittersweet afternoon during my last clinic as Nephrology fellow today. I feel fortunate for having the opportunity to do what I love alongside wonderful mentors & peers and very proud to be part of the @YaleNephrology family!

[Ursula Brewster @brewster_ursula]

Congratulations to all our amazing graduates tonight! What a fun night with our @YaleNephrology family! What a great group of people, and a great way to spend the evening!

[F. Perry Wilson, MD MSCE @fperrywilson]

The GLP-1 receptor agonists (like Ozempic and Mounjaro) are wildly effective weight-loss agents. But are they COST-effective? That's a trickier question. And a new study just out in JAMA Health Forum provides an answer. A resounding "no."

International food day for the fellows with a surprise appearance by one of our favorite visitors, @Yale PD’s Heidi!! 🐶🐾

Special thanks to @anushreeshirali and @MaryamG1686 for organizing every year!

@YaleIMed @YaleMed

[F. Perry Wilson, MD MSCE @fperrywilson]

This week, I've been thinking about pain. And David Lynch.
The former, because of a very cool study in @JAMANeurology which I'll tell you about in a second.
The latter because Dune 1984 and Twin Peaks were transformative to my childhood.

4/ Thank you @rkalyes1 for teaching us that putting patients first is also thinking of them as members of a community, hence working hard for its wellness and sustainability.

[Laura Aponte Becerra, MD. @LauraAponteBe]

1/ As my global health rotation through @YaleNephrology @YaleGH & @Makerere in Uganda comes to an end, I am extremely grateful for this life changing experience. 🌟
A major highlight was having the opportunity to experience @ACCESS_UG

[Laura Aponte Becerra, MD. @LauraAponteBe]

3/💡The practice of Medicine is to always put patients first, to have their best interest at heart and work hard to alleviate their needs. Thank you, Dr. Kalyesubula @rkalyes1, for showing the 🌍 that our profession goes beyond the needs encountered in healthcare facilities.
