What a great opportunity for med students offered by the TCEP MSC!!! You can see my PD and faculty rocking it here ♥️ and the awesome Dr. Benham (I was a nurse intern when he was an EM Intern 😳)
@BSWHTemple_EM It was an absolute joy to talk with all 14 of our incoming interns this afternoon. You could feel the excitement and optimism. I am so grateful they chose to come train with us @BSWHTemple_EM . The future of our specialty is bright. #emergencymedicine
Headed to NYC to watch my brother @EMDBenham run the @nycmarathon on the @BCRFcure team, so I had to create a #numberlesswordproblem all about it for my Ss! I love making math in the real world more visible for Ss! They had lots of great questions! #WEpirates
CC: syncope. During STEMI evaluation, we lost pulses in a polymorphic to monomorphic Vtach arrest. In addition to ischemia, this EKG should scream electrolyte abnormality. Despite a prolonged stuttering code, the patient walked out of the hospital 6 days later. @BSWTemple_CVdoc
qSOFA can be a quick bedside tool for mortality risk in those with sepsis. SIRS is unreliable as well and there is no single data point that will diagnose sepsis. Tricky disease process.
Couldn’t agree more that early recognition saves lives. There is a spectrum of Sepsis with potentially incredibly high mortality at one end of that spectrum. Nice infographic — biggest thing to note though is that qSOFA was not intended to be a screening tool.
Applicants often ask me why I chose @BSWHTemple_EM. So many reasons but the number one is the people. This place felt special as a rotating medical student and 7 years later I still feel the same #MedStudentTwitter
Special time of year in academics. We celebrate our grads and welcome our interns. These 5 chose me to be their faculty mentor three years ago when I was brand new to the attending game. I suspect I learned more from them than they did from me.
I’m always proud of our grads but these guys will always hold a special place in my heart. There has been adversity, triumphs, engagements, births, etc. I am better for having known all of them and look forward to following their careers.
📢 #MedStudentTwitter! Is there a twitter list of medical students applying to #EmergencyMedicine this year? Here is the list of EM programs on twitter. Respond back to this tweet so we can start 1 for applicants, so programs can easily connect with you!

@EMedCoach Will be forever grateful for all that “B” taught me during and after residency. I can only hope to have as long of a career and pass those lessons on to the next generations of EM physicians.
