@PrometricGlobal @ab_peds Not to mention the fact that this "accommodation" is a TENT. This is punitive towards mothers trying to provide nutrition for their babies.

[Layla Samandi, MD @laylasamandi]

Told by @PrometricGlobal that I’ll have to pump in a TENT while taking my @ab_peds board exam… have spent a month trying to reschedule to another testing center with appropriate accomodations and hours on hold to no avail. Absolutely shameful treatment.

[Layla Samandi, MD @laylasamandi]

@PrometricGlobal @ab_peds the fact that I live in the sixth-most populous city in the country and the closest testing facility that accommodates nursing mothers for your exam is over an hour away in a different state is unacceptable.

@SoumyaAdhikari Thank you so much!

Could not be more thrilled to have matched my top choice for allergy/immunology fellowship at @ChildrensPhila! Bittersweet to leave Boston and our wonderful community here, but very happy to be close to my husband’s family in Philly!

[Layla Samandi, MD @laylasamandi]

@tomsandora @ChildrensPhila Thank you Tom for all your support in this process! Looking forward to our next coaching meeting 💃🏻

@WendyHassonMD Let alone pediatric subspecialties, which are a 3 year loss of attending income and in many cases make less than primary care pediatrics…

Dear house of medicine,

Happy (academic) new year.
Here’s your annual paycut.
This one will bring you to a total 23% decrease since that whole “pandemic” thing.

Love,
The US Government

PS: We have shortage of healthcare workers and deep health access issues in this country. Could you help with that? kthxbye.

It would be great if testing for food allergies was like testing for pregnancy, or COVID - an actionable, accurate Y/N answer. But that’s not how these tests work! Very often (+) in non-allergic people, leading to unnecessary stress, waste, & even harm. #FoodAllergyAwarenessWeek

@chadd92 Welcome!! I see you’re a runner — if you’re looking for a new running group you should join my husband with Tracksmith, they have a couple of BCRP spouses!

@DrJamieLim Jamie, I just saw PFAPA in clinic today! :) Our awesome rheum faculty taught me it’s rare to have all 3 of aphthous ulcers, pharyngitis, and adenopathy with flares. Also usually gets better after age ~10!

@cojiberries @TheBCRP @naihuagong @BridgetGosis Congratulations Connie and welcome!!
