A toxic boss stabs you in the back. A selfish boss holds you back. A supportive boss has your back and propels you forward.
Even more than performance, great managers invest in people. They promote your growth and well-being.
A leader's duty is to care. https://t.co/OgW1WT82mp
@Sky_Lee_1 Definitely still get boosters. You have 22x lower risk of death (during Omicron wave) if boosted compared to unvaccinated. And 3.5x lower risk versus basic vaccinated.
What can be done in primary care clinics to protect kids from #GunViolence?
Provide gun locks (like an actual lock) + safe storage counseling in well child visits for the 1 in 3 households with kids that have guns.
Why don’t we treat every young male who wants to buy a gun like every woman who wants an abortion. Mandatory 48hr wait. Medical justification. Psych eval to deem competent to make sound choices. Protests at the gun stores, have to travel miles to get access.
11/ I fervently hope that Pfizer and the FDA rapidly collect the data we need to determine the incidence of Paxlovid rebound and the effect that it has on immunity, long COVID, etc. until then, physicians shouldn’t be prescribing Paxlovid to people who are not high risk.
“The work-hour policy associated w/ a 32% reduced risk of significant medical errors (RR 0.68; 95% CI 0.64 0.72), a 34% reduced risk of preventable adverse events (RR 0.66; 95% CI 0.59 0.74) & a 63% reduced risk of medical errors resulting in pt death.” https://t.co/sluBLSXSct
So, look: I don’t want to hear Republicans talking about how much they love mothers today unless they’re going to do something—anything—to value mothers tomorrow.
As of May 5, 2022, more than 79% of the U.S. population lives in an area with a substantial or high COVID-19 *transmission* level.
Transmission levels are a better metric to judge risk than "Community Levels" which focus on hospitalizations, a lagging indicator.
STFM held its first in person conference after 2+ years. It is an amazing opportunity to network & reunite with prior Albany Family Medicine students, residents & faculty. Our own Dr. Annie Rutter serves on the STFM Board of Directors @STFM_FM@fmedrevolution@AlbanyMed#reunited
Perfection isn’t just impossible. It’s a counterproductive goal.
Perfectionists are more likely to burn out and less likely to embrace new challenges.
Success depends on high standards, not being flawless. The target is not perfection—it's excellence.

We must expand health professions education to focus on the upstream health determinants. Focus on access and clinical care is not sufficient when this only affects 10% of health outcomes. #AN22@STFM_FM
The political determinants of health involve the systemic process of structuring relationships, distributing resources, and administering power. All aspects must be examined to identify and address how policy creates or improves health inequities. #AN22@DanielEDawes@STFM_FM
How do we impact the political determinants of health? We must advocate and demonstrate the power of the desired policy change to impact the current structural barrier. #AN22@STFM_FM
