Thoughts on #endometriosis from the perspective of medical education 🧵
USMLE and shelf examinations make endo seem super easy. It’s a young woman with pelvic pain & some combo of infertility, dyspareunia, and dyschezia

Throw some OCPs at the problem and boom, case closed
Students don’t talk about endo as a cause of urinary symptoms. Many have it on their list as a cause of heavy abnormal bleeding.

Most have no idea that MRI is useful for diagnosis and few know when to refer for surgery or how to manage patients after surgery

1/ I recently realized that to take advantage of #medtwitter I need to change my approach. So here goes

About me: I’m 31, born & raised in NYC...which means I learned how to drive at 26, I have a GoogleDoc of celeb sightings, & I run into people everywhere, including @ work.
2/ My education includes @bxsciencealumni
for HS, @BrownUniversity for college, @ColumbiaPostbac for premed, and finally @nymedcollege for med school.
3/ Why a postbac? Because in college I studied Econ & Slavic Studies. I actually spent my junior year in London at @LSE_GC and the following summer in St. Petersburg, Russia.

TBH I don’t think I could have gotten thru #premed as an undergrad and I loved my time at Columbia.
