@emily_fri Peds PD here. I always say expect about 3 years to feel really comfortable in your practice once you graduate. Now is the time to trust all those attendings who said you ARE ready and poured themselves into getting you there. Fly little bird! You’ve got this!! ❤️

@ErynnBergner @katieegerth @Okla_Childrens @OUHealth @PASMeeting She’s a superstar!! @katieegerth

Y’all. This is my dad, and his elderly golden retriever Grace. Grace lived her entire life outside and unsocialized until just 6 months ago when my dad rescued her. It’s been a little rough, but today they graduated from PetSmart. I don’t know which of them is more proud 🥺😭🥰

This! 👏🏼👏🏼

[Catriona (she/her) @CatrionaRennis1]

Resilience should mean 'able to cope with normal-but-stressful' situations. Medicine seems to interpret it as 'functioning 100% normally at all times no matter what has happened'. It's a toxic conflation and harms students and trainees who have experienced trauma.

[Casey Hester @caseyhestermd]

@Claire_Smith_21 @TCOM_UNTHSC @OuPeds Us either!!

[Casey Hester @caseyhestermd]

May I say a huge welcome to the OUHSC Pediatric Residency intern class 2021?! We could not be more excited about this group of future #tweetiatricians ! ⁦@OuPeds⁩ ⁦@OUHealth⁩ ⁦@FuturePedsRes⁩ ⁦@Carlee_Bree⁩ 👶🩺

[Casey Hester @caseyhestermd]

@AlanHawxbyMD @CodyDalton93 @OU_Surgery Yes, welcome to Okla-HOME-a! And of course, here in peds we are always delighted to hear of pediatric surgery interest! 👶👏🏼

[Casey Hester @caseyhestermd]

Med schools are judged by student match rate so forced to move to P/F and homogenized, glowing MSPEs. Programs are judged by board pass rates so forced to prioritize grades/scores. Competing agendas lead to unethical practices with students caught in the middle. Let’s do better!

[Bryan Carmody @jbcarmody]

I think the residency selection process can be improved if we all agree upon some basic guiding principles.

That’s why I signed the “UME to GME Transition Bill of Rights.”

@londyloo My soapbox! Love letters from programs should be banned. Preying upon applicants’ terror of not matching is manipulative and shameful (yes, PDs know exactly how to be vague enough to not get a violation) @FuturePedsRes

[Nick Heitkamp, MD @NMHeitkamp]

➡️ Why should peds PDs have an active Twitter presence?
