Many people have misconceptions of what gender affirming care actually means. Gender affirming care for kids DOES NOT = surgery. Plus, most of the effects of puberty blockers and hormone therapy are reversible if stopped. If you have questions about gender affirming care, ask!

It's so important for parents to talk to their teens about bullying and how it impacts mental health. I always try to instill kindness in my patients. If your child is experiencing bullying, please talk to your pediatrician. #tweetiatrician #endbullying #lgbtqhealth

Trans and LGBTQ+ youth will need us now more than ever to protect their mental health with all the legislation that will be moving forward in the new year. #lgbtqhealth #adoleacentmedicine #pediatrics #tweetiatrician

Advocating for our pediatric patients is so important. This new year will bring on many challenges and changing laws for our LGBTQ+ pediatric patients. We are here for you. We will fight for you. #lgbtqhealth #lgbtq #pedsresidency

@FuturePedsRes can't wait to meet all the M4s applying to pediatrics!

[Nichole Anderez, D.O. @NichtheDOc]

But I keep showing up. I keep my smile on. I keep treating everyone with grace despite not receiving the same. That's a pediatric resident's life in clinic. #pedsresident #residency #Ubuntu #tweetiatrician #cliniclife #bekind

Insight into resident life...Had a parent interaction recently where both parents were already furious when I walked in. This is my first time meeting them. They start yelling at me before I introduce myself about how they didn't know vaccines were due at this visit and how they

[Nichole Anderez, D.O. @NichtheDOc]

To hurry up and get the vaccines over with, and they wouldn't put the child on the table for me to examine because the child was upset to be in clinic (moreso because their parents were screaming I think)...100% of those things were out of my control.

[Nichole Anderez, D.O. @NichtheDOc]

Won't know for some time as a pediatrician resident...but what I'm hearing, the answer is no.

How long did your student debt take to pay off?

Was your degree worth the cost?

Been talking to a lot of co-residents lately who have expressed that they feel like medicine is not for them anymore. All this despite the years of hard work and dedication to the field. Some because of the toxic culture that medicine is still known for.

practice. And others will have to invest or pick up a second job to pay our outrageous student loans will be too tired to fight the good fight. Would love to hear other stories/opinions. #tweetiatrician #pediatrician #studentdebt #studentloans #studentloanforgiveness #pslf

After decades of research, the FDA just approved the first-ever gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy – and it was developed at Nationwide Children’s: https://t.co/86jv83OE25 Via @nbc4i

@SpiritAirlines vouchers are not working online and your customer support has had us on hold waiting for over 1.5 hrs to speak with a manager. You also want to charge $25 to help us book it over the phone, but your website is the problem? So much for paying for #SaversClub..

@DrRayMD @nationwidekids @MDmoneyhealth Next time!!!

[Nichole Anderez, D.O. @NichtheDOc]

Mentors like @MDmoneyhealth have been integral to my development as a pediatrician and to creating more inclusive work spaces. I love working at a world wide known institution that embraces members of the LGBTQ+ community as part of their staff. Here I feel safe and respected for

free and speak openly about it. I wanted to work somewhere where this was possible and I know I made the right decision. Happy 1 year anniversary, NCH. I'm so glad to be here!

[Nichole Anderez, D.O. @NichtheDOc]

who I am and how I identify. We could always do more, but being visible and creating awareness is a huge first step. This is one of the big reasons I chose to practice and learn medicine at @nationwidekids; many practitioners here identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community and live
