Still feels surreal - thrilled to share I matched IM at Johns Hopkins @OslerResidency!! Even more excited that my sis & I will be the 1st docs in the fam & both train in the DMV. Grateful for my family, friends, & mentors who have supported me along the way. #Match2024 #IMProud

Glad to talk with @_daniel_payne at @politico about why elections matter for our patients’ health and how physician advocacy has been - and can continue to be - a force for good in our politics, government, and society.

My thoughts in @TIME about what’s at stake for Americans’ health this year.

Had a lot of fun working on this piece with Jesper & Josh! Check out our thoughts on a novel framework for leveraging social media in GME ⬇️

NEW in @TIME

@suhas_gondi explains what Project 2025 means for our patients:

- more expensive medications
- people kicked off Medicaid
- restrictions on repro rights

A few of many reasons why so many doctors & nurses are for Harris-Walz.

Another amazing group of Osler interns embarking on the profound journey that is residency. Excited to see their growth and all they accomplish as they become Oslerian physicians. Much #Oslerpride #Aequanimitas #READY

Physicians with policy degrees are on the rise, playing pivotal roles in academia, clinical leadership, & the private sector. but more research is needed says Grossman Fellow @mattvalexander and co-authors in this recent article

[Alister Martin @AlisterFMartin]

What do MD/MPPs do after graduation?

Our team led by the brilliant @davidevelasqu set out to answer this Q by reviewing @Kennedy_School data.

What we found surprised us and, for me, reinforced the belief that healthcare is better when physicians receive policy training.

[Matt Alexander, MD, MPP @mattvalexander]

Excited to share our work exploring the career trends of docs who attended @Kennedy_School.

[David Velasquez, MD @davidevelasqu]

One reason @mattvalexander @AlisterFMartin & I went to the @Kennedy_School of Government was because of physician alums like @DavidBlumenthal @donberwick @RepRaulRuizMD who are tackling important health issues.

So, we (+@jesper_ke) asked ourselves: what do physicians with a policy degree end up doing?

Thank you @TeenVogue for not only interviewing me, but especially for interviewing the real heroes--my parents.

They went from escaping a war zone & sleeping on the floor of an abandoned house to holding 3 degrees from @Harvard that I dedicate to them.

"We did whatever it took to survive for our family," said my dad.

Well, I am doing whatever it takes to make sure your and mom's efforts were well worth it.

Muchísimas gracias, @AdairaLandryMD

With 15 years of executive experience under my belt – leading the Richmond & Henrico Health Districts, spearheading VA's COVID-19 vaccination effort, and as Commissioner of the VA Dept. of Social Service – I’m ready to transform City Hall so that it works for all Richmonders.

[David Velasquez, MD @davidevelasqu]

When I visited @harvardmed in 2016 for my medical school interview, I was awed by the marble buildings and legacy of doctors who had once stepped foot on the campus.

But I wondered whether a kid like me, a kid who grew up poor and homeless, belonged at a place like Harvard.

Stress and hunger have extensive, documented, long-term health impacts on kids. Physicians @DrMichaelHole and @mattvalexander track the documented health benefits of an expanded #ChildTaxCredit for children. https://t.co/cZ8eViuFkn

Expanding child #tax credits isn't just about 💰, it's an investment in better #health outcomes for #families. A vital step towards a healthier & equitable future says #MRCBG Grossman Fellow alum @mattvalexander (+ @DrMichaelHole) via @Newsweek 💪🌟

"The Child Tax Credit helped pull 3.7 million children out of poverty in 2021, but it expired at the end of that year. Congress must make reinstating the Child Tax Credit a priority."- @mattvalexander & @DrMichaelHole
