Deeply sorry to see this. MaryBeth Kimball was a rare spirit, possibly the most positive and encouraging person I ever met in my life. Guided me through my MBA at @IsenbergUMass via @PhysiciansLead . Rest in Peace, you fantastic soul.

[Virginia Irwin-Scott @ckddoc]

@ScottTruhlar @IsenbergUMass @PhysiciansLead Scott well said. We have kept in touch since I finished the program and my last text went unanswered this week. What an amazing person !!! She inspired so many of us who didn’t think we could take on another thing to dive in one class at a time She will be missed.

@SenBooker There is a physician workforce shortage. Student aid programs must be strengthened not dismantled. Support strengthening & improving the student loan and forgiveness provisions in the current reconciliation bill. #SupportStudentLoans #ACOIadvocacy

If folks haven't already heard, the final rule for the 2024 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule has left the Office of Management and Budget, so release is imminent, probably today or tomorrow. Stay tuned. @RPANephrology

T-minus 24 hours until RPA's 2023 Virtual Capitol Hill Day! We are once again partnering with @KidneyPatients; we treasure that relationship. Our issues include Medicare Part B payment reform, for both 2024 and beyond. The current system is unacceptable and unsustainable. (1)

Doctors, Nurses, and whoever else needs to hear it:

Please do not check a basic metabolic panel shortly after a patient’s hemodialysis treatment. You are just examining the composition of the dialysate bath.

Sincerely,
Every Nephrologist everywhere

I love this handout! Can't say enough about it! Perfect for patients with kidney disease eating a plant-based diet!

RPA members, there's a live grassroots alert up on S.1384/H.R.2923, the Living Donor Protection Act. Please either click on the link in the email you should have received or go to the website. IT TAKES ABOUT 45 SECONDS (!), and is the right thing to do. @RPANephrology
Peace out.
