How can we improve access to cancer screening and advance equity in cancer related outcomes?
By increasing…

As a Stanford graduate, I am deeply troubled to learn that resident physicians and fellows don’t earn enough to afford food, rent, childcare and other basic necessities.
Stanford needs to return to the bargaining table and work towards a fair contract that supports the well-being of both patients and the frontline resident physicians who care for them.
As an alum, I was shocked to learn @StanfordHealth resident physicians are struggling with food and housing insecurity because the hospital has stalled contract negotiations. @StanfordHealth, your resident physicians and the communities they serve need a #FairContractNow

R2 = “I’ve learned so much doing call! I’m ready for anything now!”
R3 = “I’ll never be able to learn all I need to know for the Core Exam”
R4 = “All this knowledge is starting to make sense”
Faculty = “I know when I don’t know”
Excited to announce that our abstract on cancer screening center access among AI/AN tribes submitted to @ARRS_Radiology received the Certificate of Merit and will be presented in the 2022 ARRS Anual Meeting! #ARRS#radres
Making patient educational materials more accessible has the potential of improving health equity particularly for patients whose first language is not English. Excited to have contributed to this paper published @JACRJournal! #healthequity#radres#futureradres#radiology
Grateful to work with such a caring, kind, knowledgeable and truly magnificent radiologist and mentor @EJFloresMD. His work inspires me and gives me hope and excitement for the future of #radiology and #healthequity.Cannot wait to be a #futureradres.

@SpaceCowboy_KJ This is one of the most ridiculous and wrong things I’ve probably read, their level of willful ignorance and misinformation is beyond words. I can think of 1: Operation Warp Speed and their $12 billion investment that gave us multiple vaccines…Where do these people come from?
Great work by the @HELPCmteDems on bringing @sesamestreet to the Senate to talk about the importance of vaccinations 💉! Happy to have contributed a very small part to the hearing! #WeCanDoThis
SESAME SENATE: During today's Senate Health Committee hearing, Jeanette Betancourt, Ed.D, Senior Vice President for U.S. Social Impact of Sesame Workshop, unveils a Sesame Street PSA to urge vaccinations.
Thankful to have contributed to the work of imaging missed care opportunities by @EJFloresMD & @DaniaDaye:"IMCOs take into consideration the influence of SDoH in access to appointments and the role of the health care system in facilitating them- @PedRadJournal"#RadRes#medtwitter
