Today we honor Dr. William West, who died by suicide.

His family writes, “We hope systemic changes can be made to support aspiring medical professionals better. This is critical. We don’t want any other families to experience tragedies like this.”

[Kamali Thompson, MD, MBA @Kamali_Thompson]

Let’s talk about Black physicians (5% of all physicians). We have statistically lower MCAT and Step scores. However, Black physicians taking care of Black patients decreases mortality. If we let less Black applicants into medical school, more patients will die.

Period.

Affirmative action 🧵:

Yesterday I had to look up my endocrinologist’s office info to get a referral.

I happened upon the fact that she graduated Columbia 5 years after I did. Which meant I was part of the team that admitted her, a team that regularly acted affirmatively.

How to be hyper-efficient in #Epic #EHR — from a physician #informaticist who loves to flyyy on shift🧵

1️⃣ Smartphrases are the #1 documentation efficiency. Use a standard naming convention so you can find it quickly. I use:

.dc*** for discharge instructions (ie .dcviral, .dcchestpain)
.proc*** for procedures that aren’t smart blocks (.proccpr, .proctriggerpoint, etc.)
.hpi*** for standard history where I mark *** to cue the parts to fill out (.hpimvc, .hpitransfer, .hpistd)
.mdm*** for risk calculators that aren’t in Scoring Tools (.mdmPerc, .mdmCanada, .mdmHasbled, etc.)

2️⃣ Macros: same concept as smartphrases, but used for smart blocks (the click-buttons in Notewriter for Exam, ROS, Procedures, etc.)

3️⃣ Ctrl-space bar opens up a search function where you can search the entire chart. I.e. I’ll search “creatinine” to see if careeverywhere (OSH) has a creatinine documented outside my system to compare a baseline, or search “cancer” if a patient says they had cancer and I can’t figure out what type

4️⃣Epic has a whole free training series called “Power User” geared at clinicians of small 1-hour asynchronous topics of how to maximize efficiency. Pick and choose what’s relevant to your context/specialty. Check it out! https://t.co/NWYGiHfMeD

5️⃣Talk to your local Epic builders (called application analysts) or your Epic trainers/educators. There are a TON of customizations the system can do. Automated-drop-in’s (called CER rules, but basically like IF a patient has a systolic BP>140, THEN drop in a phrase mentioning you acknowledge and address it by ***), customizing your trackboard/patient lists, building data elements behind drop-downs (smartlists) so you can report on it, and overall helping you decrease clicks!
Epic is highly customizable, just need a clinical champion to work with analysts to understand where builds can help clinical workflow!

There are many more “hacks”, these are just some of my favorite!
(And, no conflicts with Epic, it’s just my favorite EHR out of Cerner, Meditech, Medhost, etc…)

Interested? Think about #informatics as a field OR talk to your local friendly physician informaticist (often CMIO at a hospital system!)

We should be heartbroken & devastated by the preventable loss of Dr. Nakita Mortimer.

A bright light. A resident physician. A friend. Someone’s child!!!

Another brutal reminder that medicine must look inward at its ruthless and unforgiving culture. The system remains broken.

@medgradwishlist My amazing friend @simplydolapoo aka Dr Olawunmi recently graduated! If you’re looking for an incredible and impactful black female grad to support please consider purchasing something from her list!

[Adetayo Oladele-Ajose, MD @EyeSpyMD]

In March of 2019, on the last interview date of our school’s application cycle, the three of us met for the first time.
4 years, many tears, many prayers, trips, and celebrations later,
3 black female students became 3 black female physicians! 😆😆😆

As we countdown to Match Day, I want you to meet Dr. Kevin Jon Williams.

For nearly 20 years, he fought for - and eventually won - a student-optimal matching algorithm.

It’s one of the great stories of advocacy in Match history… and the NRMP refuses to acknowledge it.

What field/specialty did you believe you’d go into at the beginning of the medical school and what did you end up going into?

For me:
Sports Medicine —> OB/GYN
