It's very exciting and scary to think about the future of healthcare and its endless possibilities. This article has an interesting video that predicts the future of healthcare in the next 5-25 yrs. https://t.co/sToxej3NME
@sharmaaarti20 I was more focused on the enrollment rates rather than the number of medical schools within the US. But that's the answer I was looking for. It could be a concern that increasing enrollment rates could effect the quality of healthcare if schools lower their admission requirements
It is estimated that by 2030 we could see a shortage of up to 120,000 physicians, which will drastically impact U.S. healthcare. One of the initiatives i discussed was to increase medical school enrollment/develop more programs. Any negative outcomes associated with this?#PBH710
#PBH710 Informative article by WHO on the potential benefits of genomics. I personally think most important benefit is developing new preventable measures for infections/diseases because this can help save millions of lives in the long run. https://t.co/beySt5ihSI
@cynthia_mcphs I agree! If more people were aware of the long term benefits of genomics then they would be more prone to supporting it & funding for more research in the field. I shared an article of the benefits of genomics such as new preventative measures, new treatment, etc! #PBH710
1 in 20 adults who seek outpatient care experience a diagnostic error which can lead to complications or even death. Something as simple as checklist can save a life! #PBH710

This week I discussed opioid abuse, misuse, & overdose within Boston, MA as the health issue that could use more attention and strategy implementation. MA is one of the top 10 states with the highest rates of deaths due to opioid related incidents!https://t.co/lwo5oveGNH #PBH710
