Not sure why this photo looks like the last supper, but congratulations to our inaugural fellow in #HPMClassof23 at @BSWH_HPMFellows. So pumped that she’s staying on as faculty with us! Excited to welcome #HPMClassof24 in a couple of days! #MedEd #hapc

This talk was just after "Traditional medicine is compatible with EBM"

Loving the discussion!

Fantastic to have a patient advocate presenting @coffeemommy: highlighting ‘evidence’ may be different for patients and clinicians #MASCC23 @CancerCareMASCC

An honor to see @PatelMDDDS demonstrate how to use a $10,000 3D printer and $3 worth of plastic to create teeth for oral reconstruction surgery in his Head and Neck cancer patients, with incredible postop results. “Teach a man to fish and he’ll eat for a lifetime” #MASCC #MASCC23

@Sharma25Parth Insightful to see the disparity of Palliative Care, Hospice Care, and Morphine Access across India. Appreciative of @palliumindia’s efforts to help bridge that gap with widely accessible medical education, research, and advocacy efforts! Thank you @Sharma25Parth #MASCC #MASCC23

While everyone was talking about big data and virtual reality and other hi-tech solutions..I was talking about how Uttar Pradesh has 1 palliative care center with morphine for every 20 million people. We have a long way to go!

When you reconnect with prior residents/mentees who are now attendings and soon to be graduating HPM fellow, the feeling of joy and excitement for them can’t be explain! The fruits of academic medicine 💕#hapc2023 #mentorship @SBPalliativeMed @sbudeptofmed @sulane7 @RejoyZ_MD

“By sacrificing neatness, we can have a conversation about what the dying truly need from us. Understanding their authentic experiences helps us not only to see them more fully but also to prepare, together, for losing them.”
Beautifully said @SunitaPuriMD.
