@LaceyFeigl @theLoftyRheum @CURheumatology Too much enthusiasm 🤔? The fellows tend to bring out that side of me, which is generally a good thing!

@rheum_cat @rfrmd @MithuRheum @londyloo @BharatKumarMD @kristenyoung @DavidLeverenz @anisha_dua @jeffsparks @GuyKatzMD Perhaps not more difficult per se, but involves institutional ‘players’ that we often don’t have relationships with, and hence don’t feel as aligned with as divisional colleagues

@rheum_cat @rfrmd @MithuRheum @londyloo @BharatKumarMD @kristenyoung @DavidLeverenz @anisha_dua @jeffsparks @GuyKatzMD All faculty have to deal with ‘external factors’, but when these are multiplied by 4 to 8 clinics/wk, it becomes death by a 1000 tiny knives. The perception of loss of control is a powerful driver of unhappiness, and external factors by definition are more difficult to change.

After visiting our @UCHealth Ocular Inflammation Multidisciplinary Clinic, Caleb Hebel finally understood why he was losing his vision. The clinic’s integrated treatment approach helped him preserve it and inspired him to give back. #ColoradoGives2023

@ManushSondhi I sent a picture to my wife immediately and told her my ‘Rheumie twin’ was in Columbus! Great meeting you and best of luck w/ fellowship next yr!

[Jason Kolfenbach @JKolfenbach]

@DrPujaMehta1 @AaronGoodman33 @rheum_cat @noellealicia242 @NamrataRheum @kristenyoung @AshimaMakol There was a Tacos El Gordo a few blocks from the convention center. Not sure if same owners as Chula Vista, but I thought it was great!

[Jason Kolfenbach @JKolfenbach]

@joelwwright Congratulations! Best of luck with your training and I hope our paths cross again!

[Jason Kolfenbach @JKolfenbach]

Excited to work with this talented group and call them colleagues @CURheumatology! Congratulations!

@CuoghiE @rheum_cat @ChooseRheum The person highlighted by these tweets is a medical student, who may or may not ever meet the PD (so hard to fault them). Also, is FIT open to residents & students? Has ACR verified that?

[Jason Kolfenbach @JKolfenbach]

@EBRheum @RheumNow I can’t read details on slide: did they preclude active RA tx in patients on nintedinib? I’ve viewed it as ‘treat RA with RA meds’, and if ILD progressing (key pt, because most does not) then consider antifibrotic add on. Even in SSc additive benefit wasn’t gamechanging.

[Jason Kolfenbach @JKolfenbach]

@psufka @BharatKumarMD Or if it’s gifted to me I will convince my wife to allow us to build a tiki bar with that as the center piece!

[Jason Kolfenbach @JKolfenbach]

@psufka @BharatKumarMD Uh, who gets to keep that life saver?! I have a pontoon it would look great on. It’s my in-laws boat in Michigan but I still go there every year! Seriously…

[Jason Kolfenbach @JKolfenbach]

@benjaminsutu @joannamarco @EBRheum @RheumNow Agree. Some guidelines should be viewed as suggestions and not a cookbook. Important trainees understand the diff, as this is the norm. Example: is data good for steroid inj in OA? No. But cheaper than HA so no one was up in arms that it was OK per ACR while HA was not.

[Kristi Kuhn, MD, PhD @KristiKuhn]

Work from @CURheumatology by @FanZhang_Jessie and @AHelenaJonsson1 already being referenced at #ACR23 Basic & Clinical Research Conference! Super proud of the work by our faculty. 🤩
