I cannot think of a single time where involving a clinical pharmacist in the care of a patient didn’t improve care and teach me something.
Like, I really can’t.

The @UW remains firmly committed to creating opportunity and expanding access to world-class education for students from all backgrounds. This is central to our public mission as the University FOR Washington.

Plenary study- When do physicians exhibit attrition? @CameronGettel @arjunvenkatesh @pagrawalmd @yaleem2 show greater attrition among women in 2019 vs 2013. Awesome work! #SAEM #saem2023

As we countdown to Match Day, I want you to meet Dr. Kevin Jon Williams.
For nearly 20 years, he fought for - and eventually won - a student-optimal matching algorithm.
It’s one of the great stories of advocacy in Match history… and the NRMP refuses to acknowledge it.

ALT Graphic of Dr. Kevin Jon Williams lecturing. The screen says, If not now, when? And unfortunately, if not us, who? His quote reads, “We were the last people standing who knew the bias… we couldn’t walk away from this problem.”

Don’t do it.
Don't lower your standards because of other’s behavior.
Some days you may not live up to your own standards. That's okay. Forgive yourself and do better tomorrow.
But a career in medicine can be brutal, and one brutal truth is this:
Focused exam for pneumonia, atelectasis, ileus, DVT, and volume status? 3/3 @LaraAHayes @AndreMansoor @DrEricStrong @WrayCharles @PeteSullivanPDx

But in a way that is not necessarily focused on pathology / HPI / chief complaint. Now they want to integrate what can go wrong in the hospital with their physical exam. Any thoughts on the 'daily hospital physical exam' for adults? 2/3

My MS1s want to know what kind of evidence based physical exam they should perform daily / consistently with hospitalized patients. We've worked with exam checklists consistently for the first part of their hospital time, meticulously going through detailed thorough exam 1/3

One more redo🧵for the students...
Here I will explain what is meant by 'French' when we are talking about Foleys and NG tubes and such.
Also we will cover what the 'Gauge' of an IV means.

An Ohio woman was bleeding profusely for hours after her miscarriage. The ER sent her home anyway.
Legal experts say laws like Ohio's abortion restrictions leave doctors uncertain about what is legal — and can put patients in dangerous situations.

I believe the main difference is that one will see you later and the other will see you in awhile. I could be wrong, I'm not a zoologist.

I want to make something clear.
Sick patients alone do not cause burnout.
It's the mental stress of the bureaucracy waiting for us on the computer that does.
My most rewarding days are when I have unstable patients and I know I did good work.

“In particular, Ob/Gyn and emergency medicine physicians need to be alert for signs of escalating violence during pregnancy and the postpartum period.”
