That's mah face!!! Can't believe I matched at @MassEyeAndEar for ophtho residency! Excited to meet my new @HMSeye fam and to start my ophtho adventures. Grateful to my family (@tdazad & @ChaoLong), friends, and mentors @ByersEye who helped me get here.

MGB VOTES YES! 1,215-412

After years of organizing and a week-long election, housestaff at Massachusetts General Brigham have voted for representation in the form of a union.

Looking for a way to channel your anger right now? Here are two suggestions for how to take this fight to the state level, now that the Supreme Court has erased federal protections:

@tedleng @ByersEye @HMSeye @MassEyeAndEar Thank you so much!

Over the moon for the chance to give a talk on #healthdisparities in retinal detachment repairs at #ARVO2022. Loved seeing the representation from my @ByersEye @HMSeye @MassEyeAndEar families 👀 Thanks to the Knights Templar Eye Foundation for the travel grant!

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Congratulations to the resident doctors at UVM, UMass and Stanford who have voted, overwhelmingly, to unionize. These doctors believe its unfair to their patients and themselves when they are forced to work up to 80 hours a week at very inadequate pay. They're right.

[Amee Azad, MD MS @ameeazad]

Learning from the powerful minds behind the #SocialDeterminants of Eye and Vision Health Mini-symposium with rockstars @DrMcollins2020 @EyeDrElam @DrKNwan among others gives me hope! S/o to @ARVOinfo for giving this work the platform it deserves 💪🏽 Looking forward to more!

When Paul Farmer died in February, it became clear to the world that he had saved millions of lives. He did so by valuing every life equally and refusing to accept constraints. Many of us enter medicine hoping to change the world; Farmer actually did it. https://t.co/KF7RqMmuYm

Recent report in @AAOjournal about women representation within subspecialty societies in #Ophthalmology. Although there is much to celebrate, we need continued support and dedicated to achieve gender parity. Great work by @KimWingesMD & co-authors https://t.co/P9x0DFaxCW

[Amee Azad, MD MS @ameeazad]

Check out our work on gender disparities in #ophthalmology subspecialty societies out now in @AAOjournal. Huge thank you to my @ByersEye family, esp @alkossler, and all our collaborators @tfountainmd @HeatherMossMD @cassieludwig

Has #wordle become harder since migrating to the @nytimes? @ameeazad and I tried to empirically answer this question. Using the @Google Ngram Viewer, we found no significant difference in difficulty since Wordle was acquired. Detailed methods and results below #dailywordleclub

[Tej D. Azad 🇺🇸 @tdazad]

So *very* pumped for @ChaoLong's talk @BrighamResearch tomorrow re building PROs that work for low literacy patients—collab with @theaviram @withyouDrWu @CNHC_research @JohnsHopkinsSPH

Our latest study of >3.5 Million #eye procedures pre and during #COVID19 is published today. Thanks to the hard work of collaborators @ameeazad @eyeamprithvi @ByersEye @Stanford

My hospital gave holiday bonuses to all >1000 hr employees! Oh, wait. Interns - on the frontlines of the pandemic, mental health crisis, & unprecedented volumes - were left out because we are listed as only working 40 hrs/wk. Labor exploitation is alive & well. 🤦‍♀️

Interesting study from @EvanChenMD and @jandohknows @YaleMed looking at how non-english speakers, black/african american, and latinx/hispanic patients were all less likely to utilize synchronous #telemedicine for #eye issues. @AAOjournal

Couldn’t be more proud of my partner, colleague, and fellow graduate @_ryanbrewster_ for a thoughtful and impassioned commencement address today!

Excited to take on Boston with you, Dr. Brewster!

Ryan Brewster, MD. I leave @stanfordmed more resolved than ever to put service, humanism, & justice first. And to one day learn the urea cycle.

I was privileged to give the student address on behalf of my incredible classmates: https://t.co/wIlaqAiQ3c
