This article does an excellent job of highlighting the nuances of transitioning to threshold-based precautionary allergen labels!

Proud to work as part of the team at @cfaarnu to push for this policy change.

Residents are telling me they're still being taught old billing rules.

Reminder, since Jan 1, 2023:
🔶 HPI has no strict billing requirements. It simply needs to exist
🔶 Same for physical exam
🔶 ROS is no longer required
🔶 PMH, FH, SH are no longer required

Also a reminder:

Whenever I've told someone I'm interested in a career as an allergist, I'm typically met with, "...but why?" Until attending the Chrysalis program this weekend, I never felt like I had a great answer. Below, I present the top reasons why I'm now set on pursuing a career in A&I 🧵

Let’s talk about Black physicians (5% of all physicians). We have statistically lower MCAT and Step scores. However, Black physicians taking care of Black patients decreases mortality. If we let less Black applicants into medical school, more patients will die.

Period.

When we first met, Justinne told me it was her dream to become a nurse practitioner. Five years later and we just found out she's going to make that dream a reality!

I'm so proud of her and excited to see all she will accomplish to improve the mental health of her patients ♥️♥️

@EosDoc @AAAAI_org Thank you, Dr. Mathur! I'm looking forward to rotating through the UW allergy department this fall and learning from you, @emschaub, and @annemariesingh!

7. Lastly, the people! Everyone I met this weekend was so friendly and approachable. Though it felt like a huge conference, A&I is really such a small field. Everyone seems like they're part of a big family :)
