It's beyond exciting to see our WSU&MSU collaborative resolution pass the MSMS then HOD! A few months ago we were giving testimony and now it's official AMA policy!! #MembersMoveMedicine

Glad to see this important voice join the fight to end a heartbreakingly harmful practice:

The American Medical Association has called for a nationwide ban on so-called "conversion therapy." https://t.co/RQmnlarwxk

There's a lot of work being done to reduce stigma & improve access to psych care for physicians, but there are still many barriers.

@MayChammaa & I wrote this piece for the @psychtimes about how we can help empower physicians in training to seek help.

Interviewing for medical school is hard enough. And talking about your trauma only makes it harder. Tabitha Moses of @waynemedicine reminds us that self-care is critical during the process! https://t.co/RliXDBKOaB #MedTwitter #MedStudentTwitter #selfcare

Sign the Citizen's Petition: Tell the FDA to Support Telemedicine Abortion #AccessIsEssential

[Amber Gautam, MD MPH @Amber__Gautam]

Please consider signing/circulating a colleague’s petition if you think that (consistent with @PPFA) abortion care should be considered an “essential” service! https://t.co/eFdiBCHxBI

@futuredrgordon Thanks for jumping in! I definitely second what you said @futuredrgordon. At the annual AMA-MSS advocacy conference #MARCmadness, one of the main issues we were advocating for and talking to our reps and senators about is increasing GME spots

"At this critical moment and every moment, physicians – not politicians – should be the ones deciding which procedures are urgent-emergent and need to be performed, and which ones can wait, in partnership with our patients."

During this crisis, our grocery store clerks, delivery drivers, transit and utility workers—along with so many others—have been selflessly getting up every day to make sure we have the things we need. And for that, we say thank you.

Strong statement from AMA Pres @PatriceHarrisMD on COVID response: "The choice we face in this crucial moment is not between public health and the economy. The choice is between listening to science and saving lives or ignoring science and losing lives."

@QaaliHussein1 @jkwillettmd Yes!

I'm trying to track all the schools doing this so people know where to get meals for their kids. Please add any other districts you know that are doing this!

I am trying to compile a thread with links to resources & anything else that might be available to students & others impacted by closures & quarantines in the USA.

If you find any other resources, please add them to this thread.
