Hands down my favorite reason to be an ACP member is the phenomenal advocacy opportunities and support for chapters to make real change. Change doesn’t usually happen in a flash, but together we move health ahead

#PrimaryCare #MedEd #IM peeps: How do you all handle Nursing Visits in Resident Clinic? Who staffs them? What kind of visits are these? Would love to esp hear from those with smaller faculty numbers. @CchristmColleen @CoryRohlfsen @GIMaPreceptor @JenPlotkinMD @RakheeBhayaniMD

Kevin Lee, an MS4 @OhioStateMed + newly matched into Neurology was diagnosed with a rare brain cancer in March of 2024.

Since his diagnosis, he’s had a brain biopsy, multiple LPs, and just finished his first round of chemotherapy.

The US healthcare system must address the intersectionality of #discrimination faced by #OlderAdults suffering from #OUD. Read ⬇️ from Drs. Benjamin Han & @kfjonespallnp about the isolation & stigma this population faces.

One of the hardest, but less talked about, parts of ambulatory #InternalMedicine #MedEd is the fact that we have no control over clinical ops/staff hiring or training…but these issues impact the resident experience so significantly. #PrimaryCare probs. @primarycarechat

[Indu Partha, MD FACP @InduPartha]

@JournalGIM @YaleMed Highlighting yet again…we need to know our pts as humans/ what are the obstacles an individual faces? #PrimaryCare @primarycarechat

What are your thoughts on Direct To Consumer pharmacies? #PrimaryCare folks: do you recommend to your pts? @primarycarechat #FMRevolution #ProudToBeGIM
How often are we discussing where pts are getting their meds vs just stopping at “Are you getting your meds?” #PharmTwitter

[Indu Partha, MD FACP @InduPartha]

Congrats to you, @meggerber ! You are so talented…I love seeing your art be recognized!

No surprise ⬆️portal messaging 2019–>2021 given COVID. Suspect high volume message receivers are also high efficiency message responders. Thoughts? @GIMaPreceptor @adamcifu @CoryRohlfsen @ChrisDJacksonMD @MattSakumoto @primarycarechat @SAmbertPompey @ParivashSanders @fairyburger

[JGIM Journal of General Internal Medicine @JournalGIM]
