@RoKhanna @grahamformaine Given his tattoo and reported nickname for his penis, he seems pretty pro-genocide to me. I’m fearful for his “vision” and your constituents should hold you accountable for showing such poor judgement.

@JaredEMoskowitz Thank you for your moral clarity and leadership.

@RepGregMurphy Unless our government acts to improve conditions for practicing physicians, we won’t have an adequate supply of doctors.

[Lauren T. Shapiro, MD, MPH #🟦 @ltshap]

@JTQuinnert @ChadDKollas @Publix It’s a physician trying to get his patient who is in pain the medicine he needs on a Friday. He probably tried calling and had difficulty reaching someone in authority. It’s not childish to advocate for a patient. It’s sad he had to resort to this.

If you’re a resident or fellow trying to figure out billing and coding—start here.
✔ Free for members
✔ 5–10 minute videos (easy to digest)
✔ PM&R-specific cases (finally!)
Because let’s be honest… most coding resources don’t translate well to what we actually do

[AAPM&R News @AAPMR]

Master the essentials of medical billing with the coding curriculum you never got during your residency! This targeted video series, in concise 5-10 minute segments, breaks down the complexities of procedure coding, inpatient documentation, and outpatient requirements to ensure your work is accurately reflected.

@GoBlueMermaid @Dividend__Doc @dissproportion Not a psychiatrist - a physiatrist. She’s a PM&R physician specializing in helping patients with brain injuries. Most people don’t know what a physiatrist is or does until they or a loved one needs one.

@Niggle_MD Ginger ale saves us a lot of Zofran. Pretty sure all the thickeners we use to thicken up liquids for those with dysphagia would be considered processed. I guess no more Ensure too.

@Mrs_DBroussard @aocpmr @AAPhysiatrists @AAPhysiatry_MSC @Pathways_in_PMR @AAPMR Congrats!

[Lauren T. Shapiro, MD, MPH #🟦 @ltshap]

Love seeing all the #MatchDay posts today! Especially excited for all the future physiatrists! Congrats to all! #physiatry

@ArmandCoxMed Sorry to hear that. Best of luck!

[Lauren T. Shapiro, MD, MPH #🟦 @ltshap]

Help us get the word out about this helpful resource!

The @AAPMR Reimbursement & Policy Review Committee created short on-demand videos (5–10 min) to help physiatrists learn the essentials.

@AmericanAir I understand when delays and cancellations become necessary but don’t understand why the pilot announced the problem had been fixed and that we were just waiting for a new team member, when it clearly had not been fixed.

[Lauren T. Shapiro, MD, MPH #🟦 @ltshap]

@AmericanAir keeps cancelling flights out of JAX and not communicating appropriately with affected passengers. The worst customer service - completely unable or unwilling to assist.

[Lauren T. Shapiro, MD, MPH #🟦 @ltshap]

@mclurk_lurky @AmericanAir They should be able to work with other airlines to help people get where they need to be.

[Lauren T. Shapiro, MD, MPH #🟦 @ltshap]

@mclurk_lurky @AmericanAir That’s a ridiculous statement. I know how to use an app, but it’s not showing any availability.

[Lauren T. Shapiro, MD, MPH #🟦 @ltshap]

@AmericanAir Zero effort was made to assist any of the affected passengers out of JAX today. They handed us cards to call, only for us to hear we could not get anywhere remotely near DC for 3 days.

I’ll be speaking at the AMRPA 2026 Spring Conference & Congressional Fly-In, March 15–17, in Washington, DC — focused on key issues shaping inpatient rehabilitation.

Time’s running out to complete this very important survey! We need as many physiatrists as possible to submit their data to get essential info to help physiatrists negotiate for fair compensation. #physiatry

[AAPM&R News @AAPMR]

AAPM&R is conducting a Physician Compensation & Practice Benchmarking Survey to provide key insights on compensation, practice characteristics and work standards in order to help physiatrists negotiate contracts, evaluate opportunities and understand expectations.

Academy member Maneesh Tiwari, MD, FAAPMR, explains why your survey response matters.
