I’m so thankful for my year of HPM training and hope others now know of this exciting training pathway! #surgery #PalliativeCare #hpm #surgpallcare https://t.co/8orIuo3Cvm

@doctatum @UCSDPalliative @SarahCumber congrats!🎉

@BenWThompson Perhaps we represent tissue more than an organ…epithelium, because it covers (palliates) just about everything.
Though this too is a bit esoteric.

Hey #MedTwitter.
Can you give an overly simplified idealistic description of your specialty?
I’ll go first:
I hope to be a peacemaker for the chaos and turmoil of serious illness and the medical system for patients, families, and providers.

I’m not sure what the future holds, and diversity in social media platforms seems like a good idea to me. #Threads #MedThreads https://t.co/ix9bkddwBv

Thank you everyone for the replies and retweets. Please keep them coming.

Frientorship, mentorship, and networking

Mahalo nui loa! (Thank you very much)

[Mike Brigoli, MD @PalliFosterDoc]

Are there any other indigenous palliative physicians out there?

I am curious because I really don’t know. I am Native Hawaiian. I am helping a Native American who is planning to apply this year to fellowship. I would like to network.

Please retweet #MedTwitter #HPC #Indigenous

Medicare support for graduate medical education (GME) is vital to strengthening and diversifying the health care workforce. Join me and @AAMCToday in telling Congress to support the Resident Physician Shortage Reduction Act today! https://t.co/DBsjrTSDsq

DEA has issued a temporary extension of COVID-19 telemed flexibilities for prescribing controlled substances. For patient/practitioner relationships est. by 11/11/23, a 1-yr grace period applies, allowing full COVID-era telemed prescribing thru 11/11/24. https://t.co/gtuKjQ565X

@AjKavanaugh @AjKavanaugh Now do physicians….

[Mike Brigoli, MD @PalliFosterDoc]

@TomOliverson @TomOliverson Thank you for your work. A more effective solution is to support an increase in GME positions. Then these physicians will have a consistent path to licensure. #MedTwitter

@DrAlisonW As a veteran and current palliative medicine fellow, I’d love to hear more about #combatpalliativecare

[NASW @nasw]

#NASW offers condolences to family, colleagues of Vermont #SocialWorker Leah Rosin-Pritchard, MSW, who was murdered by a client on Monday. We urge Congress reintroduce Safety Bill this year. @Ipsos survey says 84% of public supports social work safety legislation. @NASWVTnews

It is a misconception that AANHPIs don’t need support. We need to look at the giant pay gaps that AANHPI groups face.

In 2022, Native Hawaiian women only earned 61¢ for every dollar that their white, non-Hispanic male counterparts made. #NotYourModelMinority #AANHPIEqualPay

“I don’t know if I can fix your abdominal pain, but I will try. I will look for answers and seek out solutions and no matter the outcome, I will be there. I will walk with you all the way. I promise to be one of the few who will walk with you all the way.”

Happy #NationalDoctorsDay!

[Washington State Medical Association @WSMA_update]

On #NationalDoctorsDay & every day, we're so grateful for Washington's physicians, who lead with science & heart and demonstrate the best humanity has to offer: selflessness in action, sacrifice for others' well-being, strength in the face of adversity. Thank you for all you do.
