If med school is “like drinking water from a fire hydrant”

Then residency is hereby declared “like being a fish dropped into your new pond from a plane 200 ft in the air”

[Jake Tapper 🦅 @jaketapper]

This is inaccurate.

What the president is doing would be like if Coach Tuberville discussed the 2008 Auburn football season by only talking up his 5 victories and pretended the 7 losses -- including that loss to Alabama, hooboy -- didn't happen.

Then the OR high wears off on the way home and I feel like the night is a success if I just feed me, feed my cat, and prepare for the upcoming day 😅

It’s like when I’ve just finished a case, I think about how when I get home I’m going to read a chapter, clean my apartment, run 3 miles, go grocery shopping.

Great resource for applicants and programs alike--thank you!

[Anna Stevens @StevensAnnaC]

I am SO excited to brainstorm ways to ensure an informative, equitable, and enjoyable interview process for this year's applicants. It may be different and challenging in some ways, but time to put our creativity and adaptability to the test.

Thanks to @AnnalsofSurgery for the chance to write about virtual interviewing. 4 @MGHSurgery residents completed 40 virtual interviews and share over 50 tips for applicants and programs engaging in virtual selection processes. @ZhiVenFongMD @BUdelsman

We must ensure what happened in Georgia yesterday does not happen anywhere ever again. Congress must immediately pass my VoteSafe Act to expand vote-by-mail and early voting, and improve safety at polling places.

Voting is a fundamental right. It must be protected.

I pledge to oppose racism and hate through active allyship, continuous unlearning, learning, and listening.

Thankful for friends and mentors who continually educate, encourage introspection, and lead by example 💛 @MariaSiowMD @runwithscalpels

[Maria Siow, MD @MariaSiowMD]

I pledge to continue opposing racism and hate through actions as a physician. Join me by nominating 5 others to do the same!

Dear Residency Programs,
Please check on your black and brown residents bc they’re not ok. Wellness for us is more than burnout and retreats. Times like this is when we need to be heard the most.

Pulling out of WHO is a disaster for the lives and health of all people, including Americans. I can’t imagine a worse thing to do in the midst of a pandemic and ongoing work to fight back TB, HIV, polio, and other health threats. America First does not work for global disease.

"#COVID19 is a racial pandemic within a viral pandemic...but why a pandemic of racial disparities?...the racist explanation: blaming people of color for their own suffering...the anti-racist explanation: there is something wrong with society..." -@DrIbram @AntiracismCtr testifies

I’ve seen a lot of really awesome parades, yard signs, balloon arrangements, etc. to celebrate 2020 grads, but my mom welcomed me home with these signs she made with glitter glue sOoOo
