Thrilled to have matched at Beth Israel for anesthesiology residency! The smile says it all 😁😁😁

Showing off some science at #ANES21! I’d highly recommend to any junior med students to check out the MSARF program through @FAERanesthesia

Just got an email from the government that I qualify for SNAP 🤦‍♂️

Great piece in @AMJPublicHealth by med student @collindickrson "When Studying Cannot Help" simultaneously critiquing med ed's shallowness and our systemic failures to address COVID-19. Medicine cannot ignore system-level changes and political problems, he argues. #MedTwitter

@TheUSMLE Is June 1st still the anticipated date for changes in test content? Rhode Island prometric sites are still closed, been waiting to test since March

Last day of @BrownMedicine students working with @RIHEALTH to call #COVID19 positive cases to initiate contact tracing and to identify community clusters. Our work over the past few weeks helped reach over 1000 Rhode Islanders!

@nytimes photo today of a makeshift morgue outside of my old office at @nyulangone. Thinking of my old NYU colleagues during this time and hoping they’re all staying safe

Last day of preclinical classes and got to top it off with looking at one of the few remaining original copies of Andreas Vesalius’s 1543 “De humani corporis fabrica” at @johnhaylibrary @BrownMedicine
