People living with mental illness are priority populations for HIV/STI prevention but lack access to sexual health services. Several opportunities to improve care.

Amazing work led by @SamuelRBunting1 and @UChiPritzker students @garyxwang and Roger Yu

1 yr later and done with rotations!

Next stop: MBA at @ChicagoBooth

Deeply grateful to the patients who entrusted me with their stories this year, and excited to draw on lessons learned from them as I further explore how we can make care more accessible and affordable for all

@tanumihardj0 @diabetesgap @MarshallChinMD @BucksbaumInst @UCM_HDS Thank you Jake! And likewise, couldn’t have done it without you!

[Gary Wang @garyxwang]

Payment models drive organizational behavior.

At UPMC Western Maryland, we find that hospital global budgets led to innovative diabetes programs that durably reduced A1c +hospitalizations and addressed unmet social needs.

A huge thank you to @diabetesgap @MarshallChinMD @tanumihardj0 @BucksbaumInst @UCM_HDS and many others at UChicago and UPMC Western Maryland for their support, guidance, and funding throughout this entire process!

[Gary Wang @garyxwang]

This work began in my M1 year @UChiPritzker, and I'm thrilled to share these findings now to add further data to the discourse around #VBC, #APMs, and #populationhealth.

If there’s one thing I know about clinic with Dr. Cifu…I’m gonna get my money’s worth!

Me and Afib now 🤝🏼🤝🏼

[Adam Cifu @adamcifu]

Quizzing my medical student on afib today in clinic. Came up with a great new question (which he answered, BTW). Informed him "these are your tuition dollars at work!"

He was amused, credit to the wonderful @UChiPritzker students!

Thanks to @SamuelRBunting1 for opp to contribute!

[Gary Wang @garyxwang]

In this vignette-based study, med students were least likely to prescribe #PrEP to pts who planned to stop condom use after initiation

Example of how bias perpetuates gatekeeping and the need for early #MedEd around shared decision-making, sexual health, and harm reduction!

[Anu Hazra @AnuHazraMD]

Today in #JAIDS, med students least likely to prescribe #PrEP in pts planning to stop condom use. #MedEd needed around #harmreduction & #sexualhealth. Great collab w/ @SamuelRBunting1 @BFeinsteinPhD Sarah Calabrese @NeeralSheth @garyxwang & Sarah Garber

[Kushal Kadakia, MD @ktkadakia]

How can we put “population health” back into population-based payment? In @MilbankFund, Zirui Song & I propose a new framework for payment reform: one centered around incentivizing better health (1/7)
