It is not helping you. It wasn’t meant to.

Tulane basically sacrificed the residents of Cancer Alley who depend on the work of its environmental law clinic in order to protect its vanity real estate projects like the Charity Hospital refurbishment https://t.co/xqibY47nVq

We are over-the-moon to have all these young docs in Space City with us. Let’s go!! 🚀

We also found some of our own McGovern students who matched with us yesterday 🤠

[UTHealth Houston IM Residency @UTHimres]

If you’ve got a friend, family member, or colleague in the group, let us know!! We’re so proud of all these new doctors 🥹

[UTHealth Houston IM Residency @UTHimres]

Match Day 2025 was a success! We’re so excited to introduce our newest teammates in Houston. Every one of these soon-to-be doctors has worked tirelessly to get here and we’re excited that WE get to be a part of their training‼️

[Xena Moore, MD @xenamooremd]

Honored to present at @CRT_meeting last week! Grateful for the opportunity to discuss advancements in structural heart interventions and for the incredible mentors who got me here. Nothing better than geeking out about the 🫀 & learning from the best in the field! #CRT2025

[Stephen Patin, MD MPH @StephenPatin]

And if you didn’t match, you are no less worthy and just as good a doctor as everyone else. The next few days, weeks, and months may suck; but don’t give up. You are a good doctor and you will reach your goal.

[Stephen Patin, MD MPH @StephenPatin]

Congrats to everyone who matched today in #match2025 ‼️ I cannot wait to see who’s joining us at @UTHimres next year 👀

If there are any non-binary persons in Houston who need an internal medicine doctor, please come to me. You are safe with me.

“It will henceforth be the official policy of the U.S. government that there are only two genders,” Pres. Trump stated in his inaugural speech.

Incoming officials plan to systemically dismantle funding for programs that recognize transgender individuals. https://t.co/MaotJWIbOp

If you haven’t, head over to our instagram (@uthimres, same as here!) to see what we’re up to 👀 this month! Hint: it’s apparently content creation 😂

[Stephen Patin, MD MPH @StephenPatin]

Proud of our team at @UTHimres!! It’s been a rough few days for Houstonians and a lot of Texans, but I’m so humbled to work with the best doctors around.

[UTHealth Houston IM Residency @UTHimres]

Our team built different, they got that dawg in ‘em 🙂‍↕️🌭THANK YOU to our amazing residents who rode out Hurricane Beryl 🌀and for those who relieved our hurricane teams. Our residents are some of the hardest-working doctors you’ll ever meet 🙌🏼

[Mandie Landry @votelandry]

Thank you @KamalaHarris. A formerly good bill was hijacked by diabolical La Right to Life. It now makes an Rx used daily to induce, for miscarriage & postpartum hemorrhaging, among other uses, a Schedule IV drug. Stricter reqs WILL delay critical care. #lalege 1

Had the GOAT team in the heart failure ICU for my @UTHimres elective block. Wouldn’t want to train anywhere else except @UTHealthHouston!

[Stephen Patin, MD MPH @StephenPatin]

@jacksonvoss But also luv u 2 💕

[Stephen Patin, MD MPH @StephenPatin]

Had a good time talking to @faimon about leaving La. Nice to see other perspectives on it, too!

Louisiana has the potential to be one of the most desired states around, but we’ve neglected to use our resources wisely for decades. Hopefully that’ll change soon. Still luv u La 🫶

Louisiana's population has flatlined, even as neighboring states surge https://t.co/Atbs2Ebznr via @nolanews
