Check out our new paper about developing & implementing a brief medical school curriculum on opioid overdose prevention & response.

@JessLynnMoreno developed this fantastic training, which provides general info we believe all med students should have.

After 9 years at @waynemedicine in Detroit I am almost at the end of my MD/PhD journey & ready to begin the next stage of my training! #Match2025

I’m very excited to have matched into the psychiatry residency research program at @UWPsychiatry!

After almost a decade in medical school, I am almost done & I really am going to get to be a psychiatrist! #Match2025

I’m recruiting graduate students in the Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience area @WSUPsychology! Please apply to our amazing program and come help me build the lab. We can go for runs together!

@BrittGratreak @jbcarmody @Atef_umd As an MD/PhD student finally applying to residency this year, I was told that my 3 digit step 1 score would still be reported by the NBME. I can’t confirm that since I don’t see what they report but I know my school included the scores on the MSPE letters.

Character limits prevented me including hobbies but tbh, I just wanted to introduce my cats, who are responsible any of my potential successes to date!

Our current feline supervisors are Sophia, Emma, & Bella. They love the limelight & Emma even has her own following on TikTok!

@MallikaAsar I haven’t related to any post more than this one

@mackrophage_ I’m very grateful to see someone whose life represents my current experiences rather than all the people who have a perfect and complete ERAS already! Good luck getting everything together and completed!

[Tabitha @back2brains]

@neurozabik @NIAAAnews Congratulations! 🎉
Very well deserved!

[Lana Ruvolo, PhD @ScientificRuvvy]

🧠 I AM HIRING! 🧠 Announcing a posting for a Research Assistant in my new lab @waynestate.

Let's launch a new lab together and conduct pioneering biomarkers and intervention work with and for trauma-exposed youth!

Does anyone have lab policy for independent projects for undergraduates/volunteer RAs that they can share? I am trying to form a well-articulated policy for my lab and would love something to build off of.

[Aarti Patel | M4 | she/her @aartimed]

Now, the new 2024 CDC guidelines advise clinicians to counsel patients on pain management during IUD insertions. It's rewarding to have played a part in this progress!

Grateful to see the recognition this issue deserves and excited to continue advocating for women's health!

Folks who have completed or are currently doing their PhD:
If you were to have received a small welcome packet at your desk on Day 1 of your PhD, what would you want it to include? Some ideas: Post-its, a fun pen, highlighters, stapler, candy. What else?

@ntradsteminist I started re-watching ER when I started my step 2 studying and made it through an embarrassing amount of seasons before I took the exam.

But, it can’t have been that bad of a choice because I passed and there was at least one exam question I got right that I learned from ER!

[Tabitha @back2brains]

@BrainsBeesBikes @wsuapplebaum Congratulations 🍾 🎉!

[Tabitha @back2brains]

@jason_ryanmd I really don’t think you’re wrong. As an MD/PhD student who’s been in school a while & took step scored, I’m seeing the trend in how many delay & things definitely changed when it went P/F. I think your estimated % of students delaying sounds correct from what I’ve seen & heard.

Reposting since my institution suggests "For much more clarity it would be best to contact a Professional Tax Preparer, Accountant, or the Internal Revenue Service". 😑 How are other #postdocs reporting F32 income on their taxes?

[Randaline Barnett, MD 🧠🧸🦄 @rbarnettmd]

After seeing comments from a physician (who clearly lacks empathy) regarding the tragic loss of a resident who took their own life, I’m here to remind our profession that we absolutely do not and should not continue to pass down the emotional trauma we experienced (1/6)

Match day is on Friday. Every year I remember a classmate who died soon after not matching.

Your life is worth so much more than medicine.
