During a telemedicine OSCE, should I be auscultating my own heart and lungs or that of my computer?

I’m also doing my intern year at Lemuel Shattuck, the state hospital, so I’m seeing these access issues from both sides. We can build a system that works better for patients, providers, and the Commonwealth

I visited Framingham State Women’s Prison yesterday - oldest in the US. Many takeaways. First: why are patients still transferred out for specialist visits vs having specialists round on site? It’s hard on everyone, costly, & so preventable. #PeopleFirst @maura_healey @ACLU_Mass

I had a great time working with @theradclerk and @neurotechMD, ramping up my Chest XR reading skills to the level of a first-year radiology resident. I'm excited to dive *feet first* into Head CT next and bring it all into #anesthesiology!

We're building something to create a more transparent, patient-focused system. Let’s drive innovation that benefits everyone.

Enough with the inefficiencies of PBMs, PBAs, and middlemen. It’s time for a smarter solution—how about APBs (Automatic Pharmacy Benefits) to reduce and simplify costs for everyone?

Hi #MedTwitter! I’m Matt, an M4 at QU Netter, on the 6yr plan after an MBA at NYU Stern, applying #Anesthesiology for #Match2025. 🥳⚕️

Passionate about cardiac, transplant, & critical care, I’m interested in bringing tech from benchtop to bedside. Excited to connect this season!

I sat down with students at the @NYUStern Health Conference to talk about the strategic vision behind our #HealthyNYC plan to increase life expectancy and how my personal experiences with family members struggling with mental health issues has informed my public health career.

Of course, there's so much work to be done here, but innovative thinkers should give us enduring hope for a better future.

From antiquity to the present, patients have never had it great when it comes to medical appts. Sure, bloodletting was just a hard sell and a lack of analgesics, amnestics, antibiotics, vaccines, and hygiene - no thanks, but what excuse do we have today?

[Matt Swanson, MD, MBA @matthewjswanson]

The services these startups provide are incredibly empowering to pts, not just in reducing gaps across the most pt-centered metrics but also in improving trust, bringing us a step closer to a medical appt worth celebrating.

“When information is just given in black-and-white type on MyChart, that’s not the full expression of compassionate care,” said Dr. Elizabeth Comen, an oncologist in New York City. “Yes, it is immediate care, but it’s care out of context.” https://t.co/QPMll46Fc0

Here's our piece from last night about monkeypox...https://t.co/VeqAZQVC5Z

the physician of the future must also be a data scientist to objectively identify quality and safety issues within their practice bc “to give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift,” or simply to communicate w the team that knows how to pull, clean, & explore data

@NicholsWhit I know you are!! 🥹 thanks Whitney, keeping the dream alive throughout the next 2 years as often as I can

[Matt Swanson, MD, MBA @matthewjswanson]

Today, I wielded the scalpel and “cracked” my first chest to get to the🫀- a median sternotomy, from first incision through sternal saw. I’m deeply humbled and grateful; the experience will live with me forever - what an incredible place to be.
