Important perspective below
When I was a foreign grad & trainee I bought into idea: I just needed to work 3x as hard to get 1/2 as far
At mid-career, my health gave out trying for:
“be the person you needed when you were younger”
& to protect students
this system does not work

why can’t elite journals that define #EBM & #datadriven #healthcare
like @JAMA_current
focus on OUTCOMES
as experienced by PATIENTS
Why focus on LABELS certain physicians don’t like to hear?
Am a former regulator
we need quality #data by gatekeepers

as experienced by @NicoleB_MD @DrToddWo, worse for #minoritiesinmedicine

From @bfrist on #LinkedIn: concerning loss of scientific #integrity by political agendas
#scicomm teaching has been to “avoid politics” = sitting in sidelines
why engaged #tweetiatrician were a separate species apart from other #STEM professionals

We need to be multidisciplinary like work with school nurse leader @RobinCogan
When I have taught official @AmerAcadPeds guidelines to trainees in hospital settings & staff member has walked by, they assumed “political” & “unprofessional” when per AAP

Love, LOVE @NicoleB_MD for doing this. Shout out to @DrToddWo & @DrJCoftheDC too for their savvy outreach to youth patients- am especially impressed with @DrJCoftheDC of @OHSUNews as a role model in communities of color. @AmerAcadPeds #TikTok #tweetiatrician #Pediatrics
*This* is what it means to create “safe space” - no shaming or judgement, only encouragement, kindness, affirmation from a #tweetiatrician who shares that she too was a #teenmom.
Meet patients where they are.
Be a role model.

Am an ENFP - a cross between Snoopy, Robin Willians, Ellen Degeneres, Dr. Seuss, Charles Dickens, Upton Sinclair
I border on ENTP - love new info and love to challenge in order to break through barriers or limitations

My great-grandfather was given title "Khan Bahadur" (brave). As a judge, a brown man under Colonial rule, he threw the book at a British attorney. "Learn the law" if in his courtroom. Hence my stiff moral backbone

The Freedom School for Intersectional Medicine and Health Justice (intersectionalmedicine.org) is excited to announce its inaugural....
Freedom School Healing & Health Justice Fellowship!!
It's lit! We out here!! 🙅🏽♀️🔥🔥🔥
We've heard from y'alls inquiries on how we build interdisciplinary coalitions for health justice. This fellowship is a 9-month opportunity for people committed to creating intersectional healing, initiatives that advocate for collective liberation and healing for all people.
Through this fellowship, we believe we can most effectively cultivate and learn from leaders who embody our Freedom School philosophy: Healing and transforming ourselves as we transform and heal our communities. Change starts with us.

Not better as an attending. Support mechanisms for residents lost. Stress of liability & productivity metrics. “Ambassador” status remains. “You are one of the good ones” a lactation RN told me, “You follow the rules.”

@choo_ek @RheaBoydMD @Priyanka_Dayal @DrJRMarcelin
That lactation RN then said “My ancestors did not fight in the Revolutionary War 4 ppl to come here with their hand out” & “Slavery happened a long time ago. People need to get over it”
Identified as “one of the good ones”, she’d felt comfortable saying this to me on minorities
Identified as “one of the good ones”, she’d felt comfortable saying this to me on minorities
That left struggling with the cognitive dissonance of her words: how did she simultaneously take credit for ancestors fighting in the Revolutionary War (at the end, slavery was codefied into law until another war was fought to end it) and AlSO tell others to “get over” the past?
