Program directors who rank applicants based on research pubs need to recognize that they are perpetuating a system that makes students miserable, and also cheapening the value of scientific research.
As a preventive cardiologist, I often advise that many of the therapies (lifestyle and Rx) that are good for the heart, are also good for the brain & avoiding plaque is a powerful marker of healthy aging 👇 adds to abundant data on🫀 & 🧠 health

For decades, Circulation has guided the field. Now, a new editor continues that legacy while shaping what comes next. We're excited to announce Bradley A. Maron, MD (@bradleymaronmd) as the next Editor-In-Chief.
And that’s a wrap on @AdventHealthCFL Updates in Foregut 2026!
193 in-person attendees.
Physicians, APPs, surgeons, gastroenterologists, advanced endoscopists, motility experts and a room full of people willing to spend their Saturday thinking together about how we can better care for patients with foregut disease.
That was what I loved most about today. Not simply the education, but the thoughtful questions, different perspectives, debates, and exchange of ideas.
Complex foregut disease rarely fits neatly into one specialty or one algorithm, and today was a reminder of what happens when we bring those perspectives together.
A huge thank you to our outstanding speakers, moderators, attendees, industry partners @MadrigalPharma@Celltrioninc@Olympus_Corp@CastleBio to name a few & the incredible Advent planning team!
Proud of what we are building at @AdventHealthCFL and grateful to everyone who continues to support this initiative.
The conference made it to closing remarks. The shoes did not.
TUTORIAL FOR LIPIDAHOLICS - Lipid Panel (Profile) Basics: Today I show what the LDL-CHOLESTEROL metric is all about. Most do not realize that (1) the majority of cholesterol in LDLs derives from HDLs and (2) LDL-C includes IDL-C and Lp(a)-C- Look at the NHANES values and I hope all are well below 20th percentile. LDL-C (calculated or directly measured) is at best an estimate of apoB @nationallipid@foundationofnla@society_eas@ASPCardio@escardio@atherosociety@TheEndoSociety@FamilyHeartFdn@fhpatienteurope #cholesterol
📢The health benefits of exercise were observed even at low levels of physical activity when compared with inactivity and showed potential longevity benefits as well, according to a study published in @JAHA_AHA in people with/without #AFib

ACADEMIC VERSUS PRIVATE MEDICINE
I spent 20 years in academics, rising to Tenured Professor of Medicine before I left the U of Utah to start the Center for Advanced Therapeutic Endoscopy at Advent Porter Hospital in Denver as part of Peak Gastro.
Now, I am truly in a hybrid practice, mixing both academic and private practice but all in a private hospital setting. I am surrounded by trainees and we have our own Advanced Fellowship as well as a vigorous research program.
I learned a lot about medicine by making the switch from university to private hospital life. Here are some key differences between academics and practice I thought I would share with you. #gitwitter #medtwitter #medschool #medicinesellermononoke
