If Internal Medicine lacks diversity, the problem may start in med school. Early exposure and support matter. This study calls for action across UME → GME. @BasselShanab @MytienTNguyen @DowinHugh @WillRob3rts https://t.co/iYefAml0RH #JIGM #UME #GME #MedEd

MA beneficiaries with heart failure experience more trouble affording care & meds than those in traditional Medicare.

As MA enrollment grows for people living with heart failure, affordability matters.

Discrimination Experiences Among Medical Students https://t.co/2bdz05605V

Food insecurity is pervasive, affecting campuses nationwide with more than 1 in 5 medical students food insecure.

We can and must do better from on-campus meal solutions to comprehensive financial aid overhaul.

Students without means are in-need, and we can act now to help.

[JAMA Network Open @JAMANetworkOpen]

This survey study found that 21.2% of US medical students experience food insecurity, nearly double the national household average. https://t.co/Gd36UYvoKL @basselshanab @PavanKhosla_

Read our discussion about the short-term and long-term solutions to better support the next generation of future physicians, or at the very least, meet their basic needs.

With more than 1 in 5 medical students estimated to be food insecure (double the US household average), academic medicine can and should do better for the future generation of physicians.

An honor to co-lead with @PavanKhosla_ and a number of student/faculty leaders nationwide!

[Pavan Khosla @PavanKhosla_]

Over 1 in 5 medical students screened positive for food insecurity - nearly double the U.S. household average of 13.5%.

A pleasure to co-lead w/ @BasselShanab and work w/ an incredible multi-institutional team of student leaders and faculty mentors!

Some key findings:

👨🏾‍🎓, 🧑‍🧑‍🧒, 💸💨 Students of ethnoracial minority background, those with dependents, and those with significant financial need were all more likely to be food insecure.

🏦 Students with parental tuition assistance were less likely to be food insecure.

In @AcadMedJournal, we report:
- 1:4 med students are food insecure
- 62%‼️of URiM, low-income students with disability are food insecure

In this cross-sectional study, high attrition rates were observed among medical students identifying as lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB). https://t.co/QGUGs5qYnL

[JAMA Health Forum @JAMAHealthForum]

The implementation of the 2009 LCME diversity standards led to a decrease in attrition rates for medical students, highlighting the need for further support and inclusive initiatives. https://t.co/HDJPsaIi7H

Over the past few months, @drchefnate held a 3-part workshop series intended to educate @YaleMed students on food & nutrition, both for their own health & the health of their future patients.

[Pradeep Natarajan @pnatarajanmd]

Are you an MD student interested in research?
Would strongly consider applying for the @SarnoffCardio Fellowship. Scientific immersion with *unparalleled* longitudinal mentorship & exceptional peer network career-long. https://t.co/v8Hz9bxwYC
My biggest regret in med school was not participating despite guidance from mentors. Now I'm thrilled to join this vibrant community on the Scientific Committee.
Nice summary of the program https://t.co/GE79jX8RUW @CircAHA
Track record of successful physician-scientists going through this program is impressive - the recipe of immersion + longitudinal engagement/sponsorship/mentorship works very well
