@HIVDocSK Good for you! Best wishes on your studies.

[Santina Lee @sanijlee]

@HIVDocSK I actually recently tried to look into this from a peds perspective… As usual, things are always tougher on the peds side given it only comes in 500mg capsules. But maybe there will be a patient where this will work for. Glad to hear you guys were able to get it on formulary!

Syphilis infection has been rising, including impacts in pregnancy and infants! An important infection for all clinicians to be aware of. We reviewed infant outcomes in this study.

@HIVDocSK @sebpoule @bdedwards2015 @Wjaconnors @DanielleShmyr That seems like it would be very useful.

Great tips on how to talk to kids about pain! The words that we use are so important. #TalkingCanChangePain #pain #anxiety #ItDoesntHaveToHurt

Today feels miraculous. And it is. All three of my kids are booked for their COVID vaccinations- that are safe and work! Science is incredible and so is language. The simple act of talking to your child can change pain. #TalkingCanChangePain

Needle fear is common. Here are some ways to prepare to help reduce pain and anxiety. Not just for kids, but adults too! #VaccinesWork #ItDoesntHaveToHurt

[Shared Health @SharedHealthMB]

#DYK approximately 2 in every 3 children experience needle fear? Needle fears are more common than people realize. The good news is the following tips can help reduce pain and anxiety surrounding vaccinations. More information is available here: https://t.co/V5f1xQI7L3 #ProtectMB

Seven years ago today I walked out of the hospital after surviving Ebola.

That day at a news conference—my knees shaking—I begged the world to focus on the still-raging outbreak in West Africa. Instead, when the immediate threat was over, we moved on.

Years later, Covid hit 🧵

@ABsteward @BradSpellberg Thank you! Will definitely review these. If you know of any peds specific ones that would be great too! #PedsID

[Santina Lee @sanijlee]

@ABsteward @BradSpellberg Thanks for sharing this! Do you know if, similar to #shorterisbetter, is there a list of articles that addresses commonly held dogma related to ID? #IDTwitter #MedEd

[Santina Lee @sanijlee]

This is so important! For ANY vaccine, not just #COVID19

This is exciting news!

[Lauren MacKenzie is on 🦋 @Lauren_J_MacK]

It’s official! 🥳

HIV #PrEP is now covered by MB Pharmacare

PrEP is an effective, evidence-based therapy to help prevent HIV acquisition.

I’m thrilled to see our government #followthescience and help reduce financial barriers to accessing HIV prevention tools!

[Santina Lee @sanijlee]

@JenniferSpicer4 So true! Will try some of these suggestions next time I’m on service. Really appreciate your #MedEd threads!

[Santina Lee @sanijlee]

@JenniferSpicer4 I really like the idea of being specific about how much time the learner should prepare for. Do you ever limit how many different teaching pearls you review in a day? I don’t want to overwhelm learners with too many different topics/points.

[Santina Lee @sanijlee]

@JenniferSpicer4 Thanks! That makes sense. Any tips on how to make time for teaching when some weeks, everyday just seems so busy? Especially when you’ve asked a learner to prepare something and there’s so much clinical work that needs to be done.

[Santina Lee @sanijlee]

@JenniferSpicer4 Is this something you would let the learner know ahead of time so that they can have some time to prepare or something that you feel comfortable asking them on the spot?

[Santina Lee @sanijlee]

This is great! There’s not a lot of options for infants and kids who need liquid formulation or something that dissolves. Some good news on #WorldAIDSDay

[André Picard @picardonhealth]

Berry-Flavored #HIV Medication Is Ready for Babies. For the 80,000 children who die of #AIDS each year, drugs are often bitter or hard to swallow. The antiretroviral Dolutegravir will soon come in a tasty dissolving tablet. https://t.co/O4SmVhJVYv via @NYThealth #GlobalHealth

@uche_blackstock Is it possible to share what criteria is being used to determine who to use this test on?

[Santina Lee @sanijlee]

@AntibioticDoc Yes, agreed re off ice risk, includes bench, as more likely concerns. Not clear from this report that it was due to on ice interaction and Florida cases were on the rise at this time.
