Excited to have collaborated with the @TheGrahamCenter in writing this important #advocacy piece on #OpioidUseDisorder!

Hospitals love residents. They get paid ~ 125K per resident per year by CMS, and then pay each resident about 60K. A resident can do the work of almost two PAs. PAs cost over 100K per year to employ. For a 5 year residency the difference is about a million dollars.

@LivSonder It’ll take a bunch of your money the same way :P

Excited to share a @DrsForAmerica webinar I got to moderate yesterday around the intersection of #Telemedicine, #COVID, and #SubstanceUseDisorders.

Tune into the recording for deeper insights into policy and advocacy opportunities COVID-19 opened up!

@MikeMcClurkinMD @PennEngineers @gtcomputing Very impressive! What form of training are you pursuing there?

[Rohit Abraham, MD, MPH @_RohitAbraham]

My latest on #COVID19 and #Telemedicine. Personally, I'm really excited about telemedicine both as a provider and as a patient. It has incredible flexibility to expand access to care...within a normally functioning health system at large.

[in-House @inHouseMag]

"...it is increasingly clear with cases like Edward’s that telemedicine is not always an appropriate level of care.”

Resident @_RohitAbraham
pens poignant piece on #telemedicine during the #pandemic, new on @inhousemag.

@The_BMC mission is why I ranked my program #1. We need to ensure continued alignment in our recruitment to maintain a physician workforce that reflects the patients we serve. I stand with in solidarity with @CIRSEIU. #BMCstrong #UnionsForAll #ResidentBillofRights #ChangeMedEd

[CIR/SEIU @cirseiu]

Historically, @The_BMC Residents were always the highest paid in the city. When BMC was under severe financial strain a decade ago, the Resident physicians believed in the BMC mission so much, they willingly took salary freezes along with their colleagues. #BMCStrong (1/7)

[Katherine Gergen Barnett MD @doc_kgb]

These 14 new #familymedicine interns spent part of orientation ⁦@The_BMC⁩ in a “chopped” competition- led by the amazing Tracey Burg and showcasing BMC’s food pantry, community garden and demo kitchen. What an amazing place to learn and grow as a doctor committed to #sdoh

[AMA @AmerMedicalAssn]

“Even as the number of women in medicine increases —and women now outnumber men as physicians-in-training—more must be done to spur change and eliminate the bias and discrimination that adversely affect women and, consequently, our profession.” https://t.co/xOhVivxr9h #AMAmtg

[Rohit Abraham, MD, MPH @_RohitAbraham]

Incredibly proud of the AMA for this! Now if we can only get to a point in public opinion where this is where we stand as a nation, we'll finally be able to leverage some dramatic public policy change. https://t.co/tQdUnvXKAj

@MikeMcClurkinMD @Tina_Chee_MD I hear you loud and clear ✊🏾

#Hypertension doesn't just affect older adults. With the number of young adults with the condition increasing, it's important to know what lifestyle changes you can make early on. https://t.co/yqCqoOsN0i

How about banning direct-to-consumer #DrugAdvertising altogether? US and New Zealand are the only developed countries that even tolerate this.

@MikeMcClurkin Even within the profession...

[Rohit Abraham, MD, MPH @_RohitAbraham]

I can personally vouch for this. I was extremely annoyed last year when my away rotations required me to show “proof of immunity” despite my childhood #vax documentation. Turns out I was specifically non-immune to #measles and needed a #booster. https://t.co/cWtdFhwe8H

[Rohit Abraham, MD, MPH @_RohitAbraham]

Despicable. We cannot allow this in #MedEd culture.

So, USC cardiovascular fellowship loses national accreditation following 3 female residents each coming forth to state that one of the fellows sexually assaulted them.. and the PD (the fellow's half-brother) ignored their claims
