@RepGregMurphy What an obtuse, tone deaf response to that data. Maybe we should wait until no one living in America can find a primary care doctor, or there’s a 3 day wait to get a life saving procedure when you’re having a heart attack. It’s NOT the selection of candidates that’s the problem…
#1 reason for MD shortage is Med schools admitting students who aren’t going to practice. Only 60% of med students today plan on practicing clinical medicine. Med Schools need to focus on admitting students who want take care of patients, not just get their MD.
@RepGregMurphy@GmOrr9000 Said from a medical doctor….not practicing clinical medicine. And if the federal government is paying for everyone’s medical school, my check must be lost in the mail.

HeArt of Medicine Episode 3. Do docs delay children too long and sometimes miss the boat? This is a tough one but a must listen. @payalkohlimd @SuzanneJBaron https://t.co/SOc75J49HZ
Radiation safety and education is a huge barrier for women entering invasive cardiology subspecialties (and probably other specialties). We need to have more data! Great talk by Dr. Skelding #CRT2023
People still getting mad at PCI. For me, it's pretty simple.
If no angina, don't stent.
If angina real & lesion low risk of complication, ⬇️threshold to stent.
If angina real and lesion high risk of complication, ⬆️meds.

Because it’s not enough just to talk about why there aren’t more women in interventional cardiology, you have to actively recruit women. Our program does that. We also have a female program director.
Happening Now: #SCAI2022 Program Chair, Dr. Dmitriy Feldman, and SCAI President 2021-22, @henrytTimothy, officially open Scientific Sessions and present the Mason Sones Distinguished Service Award, Helping Hearts Lifetime Service Award, and Helping Little Hearts Service Award.
Interventional Cardiology Bros: How many of U have the honor of training not 1, not 2, but 3 ladies in the cath lab on the same day! I am so honored this week @UTSWNews@utswheart@Parkland. Fewer than 10% of ICs are women. We can do better.
