In the INSPIRES trial, new stroke occurred in 7% of patients who received clopidogrel–aspirin and in 9% who received only aspirin up to 72 hours after atherothrombotic stroke. Bleeding incidence was low but higher with dual antiplatelet treatment. https://t.co/fyCxsrPE6O

268 unfilled residency positions in family medicine in the CaRMS match yesterday. Highest number ever.

We have a serious problem to manage together. Why are med students not choosing a career as a family doc (best specialty ever😀)?

Many reasons - some of it is on us...🧵

Last year, if I had to guess what would be the batshit conspiracy theory of 2023, I would have NEVER guessed it would be ‘town planning where you can walk to the shops’

Amsterdam is currently removing 1,500 on-street car parking spaces per year; a phenomenal public realm improvement enabled by decades of effective mobility policy.

Ask not what your city can do to get more people cycling—but what getting more people cycling can do for your city.

"Why is the MD-PhD pipeline leaky?"
The pipeline:
4 years undergrad
7+ years MD-PhD
3-9 years residency/clinical fellowship (depending on specialty)
3+ years postdoc (depending on how much research built in to residency)
