So thrilled to have matched at NYU's IM primary care track! Many thanks to the mentors, friends, and family who have gotten me this far. Excited to be back on the East Coast and for what comes next!
Repro justice folks: do you have Brackeen v. Haaland on your radar? This case will rule on the constitutionality of the Indian Child Welfare Act. It impacts the rights of Native families to parent their children & the rights of Native children to grow up in Native homes.
Oakland will allow an indigenous group the right to exclusively use about five acres of city land, making it the first California city to use municipal property as reparations for European settlers stealing Native American territories. https://t.co/C27INhgGGI
‼️NEW in @EClinicalMed, we show if the MDRD eGFR race correction were removed, an estimated 3.3 MILLION more AAs would meet diagnostic criteria for CKD3, 300k would qualify for neph referral (mortality benefits) & 31k might become eligible for transplant https://t.co/f2UakRKxOR
"The Lumbee are the largest tribe east of the Mississippi and the ninth largest in the country. After World War II, thousands of Lumbee moved north to cities like Baltimore, Philadelphia and Detroit, seeking work and eager to escape Jim Crow segregation."

Prioritising COVID booster shots in high income countries is unethical - until health care workers and those at high risk in low and middle income countries have been vaccinated. @paimadhu and @zchagla wrote this much better than I could - thank you! https://t.co/F89o8y9V8P
I know it is tempting to say "these countries are doing something wrong because they just didn't lockdown enough'. Untrue- we are doing something wrong by not providing global vaccine equity when we have had the vax authorized since mid December 2020
As an Inf Diseases clinician I am very worried about the current surge in COVID. The overwhelming majority of patients I am seeing are unvaccinated. If you are still waiting to be vaccinated find a vaccine today, if you don’t, Delta will find you.
Dear all internal medicine applicants. Hello. It’s me. Telling you NOT TO RANK TULANE #dnrTulane
Why may you ask?
Because EIGHT residents have filed discrimination cases or reports against Dr. Jeffrey Wiese, the Assoc Dean for UME and IM Program director. @TulaneMedicine
GOP is seriously arguing that it’s worth sacrificing the lives of hourly workers so they can get a spray tan again.
If they really wanted to reopen the economy, they‘d fund mass testing, contact tracing,& healthcare for people.
Instead they’re fighting against hospital funding.
If we are going to meaningfully address the Opioid Crisis, we need to expand options for evidence-based, life-saving treatment like buprenorphine. Bring HR2482 to the House floor for a vote! @SpeakerPelosi@RepKarenBass#XtheXWaiver
So grateful to be on Capitol Hill with my amazing classmates and passionate med students from all over the country to advocate for measures to prevent gun violence, reduce soaring drug prices, and expand graduate medical education! #MARCmadness#MembersMoveMedicine#AMA
#SF is failing Black children & families in #health & #education. Check out my op-ed written w/ @jazzminciara in @sfchronicle to learn how #redlining got us here & how we can return what is owed https://t.co/caDji19i71
