Great to see @DrToddWo & #PediatricianForPresident at #aap19 🙌🏾 Image
We ran into our former clinic colleague turned AAP VP Anne Edwards!! #AAP19 Image
Congrats again to President-elect Dr. @LeeBeers & it was great to finally meet @nbbeers in person!! #AdvocacyDreamTeam #AAP19 #EarlyChildhoodChampions Image
One of my personal highlights of #AAP19 so far has to be talking to Dr. Tiffani Johnson who led a great workshop on Implicit Bias & what you can do about it 🙌🏾

#EveryChildCounts Image
@AmerAcadPeds is in great hands with the #AdmiralOfAdvocacy @AAPDelMonte 🙌🏾

Side note: he shared that he got a hug from Justice @SotomayorScotus (!) #jelly #AAP19 Image
It was so great to run into 2 of my former interns from my chief year at #AAP19!!

#FutureTweetiatricians @UofMPedsRes Image
Catching up on my #AAP19 selfies! Great to check out the National @WWIImuseum with my clinic partner @RachelTellezMD 🙌🏾 Image
It’s always a pleasure & honor to connect with @reachoutandread National Medical Director @PerriKlass!

She shared a story about her 1st grand rounds on ROR & how “radical” an idea it was 30 years ago.

6 yrs ago I gave my 1st GR - on ROR.. citing her & others’ work! #AAP19 Image
Dr. @juliemlinton is not only leading pediatricians’ efforts to raise awareness that #FamiliesBelongTogether but she’s now a medical school admissions dean! 🙌🏾 #aap19 Image
Dr. @JGewirtzOBrien is doing amazing work helping homeless youth & families in MN🙌🏾

Great to catch her on the way to the MN reception & brainstorm ways we can get more support (& books!) to families experiencing housing insecurity.

The @AmerAcadPeds Provisional Section on Minority Health, Equity & Inclusion (MHEI) had a great reception! Dr. @joanjeung & our section AAP support staff extraordinaire Madra Guinn-Jones helped make it happen!
#AAP19 ImageImage
@DrNateMD & Dr. @MoniqueJindal are helping lead MHEI even while in fellowship 🙌🏾👏🏾
#AAP19 Image
MHEI & the @AmerAcadPeds wouldn’t be where it is on the work of equity, racism, inclusion & more without the amazing leadership of @DrHeardGarris ✊🏾
#AAP19 Image
The MHEI reception was such a great time thanks to the planning, time & leadership of @DrRedusMcCoy 🙌🏾

Thanks for inviting me to share about my journey to advocacy & the role mentorship has played!
#AAP19 Image
@JamiePoz is an AWESOME advocate for kids!! She & her colleagues on the @AmerAcadPeds staff do an AMAZING job helping Pediatricians create policy & effect change to #PutKids1st 👏🏾🙏🏾

#AAP19 #EveryChildCounts Image
Met fellow advocate Dr. @KimberlyMontez at the MHEI program!

We heard Dr. Tiffani Johnson share that the work of diversity, equity & inclusion isn’t just the job of minorities, it’s the job of ALL Pediatricians.

All at #AAP19 should join MHEI in this work (& become a member!) Image
For my last session of #AAP19 I had to make sure to catch @lewis_first!

Everything is awesome when you are learning about Published Studies That Could Change the Way You Practice!! #LEGOBatmanBowtie ImageImage

#AscendFellows
Catching up on a wonderful morning!
Started with this fantastic conversation on the Fight for Reproductive Health btw @ChelseaClinton & @ChanelPorchia moderated by @kwelkernbc

Chelsea & Chanel did not come to play!👏🏾

"we know what to do!" - CC
#AspenIdeasHealth
"We need to be angry about the fact we're letting moms die...This isnt a mystery. Its a failure of political will. Its a comfort w/misogyny & racism" @ChelseaClinton

@ChanelPorchia dropped so much fire about racism in medicine folks left w/a certificate 🔥🔥

This is a devastating loss to all of our MN communities 😔

Dr. Charles Crutchfield III was ever present & a force within not only dermatology but organized medicine, among Black physicians in MN in particular.

#RestInPeace

spokesman-recorder.com/2023/06/21/acc…
How many dermatology clinics signed up to do #COVID19 shots?! Dr. C's did because he knew how important it was to get shots from a provider you trust.

He inspired @MNAADocs to begin a weekly column in @MNSpokesman sharing health education information🙌🏾

spokesman-recorder.com/2022/01/27/ple…
Dr. C was always down to help me in any way he could whenever asked. Whether a curbside consult or questions about my own families skin, he always got back & would follow up to see how things turned out if I didn't tell him.

Hey @AmerAcadPeds & @Vot_ER_org look at who I found @aspenideas #AspenIdeasHealth🙌🏾

#AHealthierDemocracy #VoteKids

"Interesting" start to this panel of HHS secretaries @aspenideas #AspenIdeasHealth

@SecBecerra when asked what he wishes folks knew about HHS replied, "we don't control health care"

@Sebelius agreed... 🤔

Today’s MN #COVIDVaccine announcement is disappointing & largely fails to move the needle on equity.

I think understanding why & how it could likely worsen inequity requires a recap.

On 1/14 MN opened up vaccination to 65+ w/no subprioritization. What have we learned since?
🧵
1️⃣ There was no federal stockpile (as the previous WH administration HHS had eluded) to support this decision.

So now ~1 million Minnesotans believed they were at the front of the line but MN was getting ~60,000 new doses/week & still had not completed everyone in phase 1A
2️⃣ A new administration came in with equity as a priority & recommended expanding eligibility even more... but no new guidance around subprioritization for any groups incl those 65+

& still not enough shots to meet demand = scarce resource allocation

I have enrolled in a #COVIDvaccine trial & last week got my first shot!!

But this wasn’t always my plan. I had a surprising amount of hesitancy early on. So I want to share how I worked through it.

This will probably be my longest thread ever. But stick w/me! (1/)
An avid advocate that #vaccinessavelives I found myself personally & professionally skeptical about the speed with which vaccines were being developed & politicized.

So I read about #COVIDvaccine development & listened to @NEJM’s podcast weekly podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/new… (2/)
I also found this @nytimes #COVID19 vaccine tracker helpful

“When we fight to change children’s circumstances, THAT is when we keep children healthy. THAT is Socially-Responsive Pediatrics”

@DrOmolara opening up the final #AAP2020 plenary with powerful perspective
.@DrOmolara breaks down common frameworks:

Cultural competency doesn’t deliver justice

Structural competency doesn’t dismantle structural inequity

We need to move to Social responsiveness to deliver justice & dismantle structures of oppression

YES🙌🏾🙌🏾
#AAP2020
.@DrOmolara’s approach: bring care to the communities instead of working to fit communities into care settings w/historical trauma

Her practice has been setup next to community based organizations. In collaboration, no hierarchy
