Congrats to Suzanne Eidson-Ton, co-author on a paper published in @STFM_FM, entitled “Maternity Care Tracks at U.S. Family Medicine Residency Programs”! It was found that residents in a Maternity Care Track attended more deliveries than non-track residents.https://t.co/ptssR0kGqz

Only 47% of @SacCountyCA's population is fully vaccinated. The way to stop the spread of the Delta variant and the emergence of other highly infectious variants is to increase vaccinations. Need the vaccine? Go to https://t.co/SLmPrQUDxm #CovidIsNotOver https://t.co/BAuaMMmuhM

@flypurplecat @fenton_jj @Elianok10 @alicia_agnoli @LarochelleMarc From our paper: "As clinicians and patients face difficult decisions about WHETHER and how to de-prescribe opioids, there is a need to elucidate the potential harms of stopping or decreasing..." We aimed to give clinicians and patients info to inform decisions, not push tapering.

Amazing!

[David A. Lubarsky @dlubarskymd]

Great story about our 132 first-year @UCDavisMed students. The Class of 2025 is among the most diverse ever, with 77% of students identifying themselves as a race other than white, & more than 2/3rds of the class is female. Tip of the hat! @UCDavisHealth

Critically important! Large numbers of unvaccinated folks create a reservoir for infection and, in the process, more opportunity for aggressive variants to emerge.

[David A. Lubarsky @dlubarskymd]

We all have to work harder to get people vaccinated, given that almost every American death right now from #COVID19 is preventable. #Vaccines are extremely effective – 99% of hospitalizations for this virus are among unvaccinated people. @UCDavisHealth
