It's match day! Good luck to everyone who will find out where they spend the next 3+ years; don't forget to celebrate how far you've come and what you've accomplished thus far. Can't WAIT to see who @DukeAnesRes is lucky enough to get to meet in a few short months!#MatchDay2022

Sunday Spotlight: @JackieKOlive is already a superstar, and her future is so bright we might all need shades. She raves about her program @DukeCTSurgery - check out these highlights from her first year. Whoever matches there this year will be lucky to have her to guide them.

I spent last week w/ Paul in rural Rwanda in morning report, rounding on patients.This past week an AIDS patient passed away and Paul was incredibly devastated. I remember thinking this is why he is Paul Farmer, after 40 years losing a patient was like losing the whole world.
#BREAKING: Dr Paul Farmer, a renowned American physician and co-founder of Partners in Health @PIH, has died aged 62. Farmer was a receipt of the National Order of Outstanding Friendship (Igihango), which he was conferred upon by President #Kagame in August 2019.

No surprise. Anesthesiology can't attract🚺unless it recognizes WHY🚺don't choose it. Leaders need to support #HeForShe. We are 20 yrs behind gen surg (>40% 🚺residents). @WomenSurgeons was legitimate before @womenMDinanesth, bc it was supported by @AmCollSurgeons. @AbaPhysicians

CDC's vaccine expert advisory committee voted 14 to 0 in favor of vaccinating all kids ages 5 to 11 These are our nation's leading physicians and scientists Most are also parents The vote was unanimous because the evidence is so clear Kids 5 to 11 are better off vaccinated

The decline from med student to intern has been real, so quite grateful for the MS3/4s I’ve worked with so far for sharing their enthusiasm, especially when I can barely string a sentence together! I promise to become a better teacher 👩🏻‍🏫
