Great job building a needed peer to peer resource for students! #DocsWithDisabilities in training should definitely ✅ this out!
Many who could benefit from disability-specific resources are unable or hesitant to access them in medical school. In response to these barriers, MSDCI has curated a document providing guidance to students seeking disability resources and community in UME🔗tinyurl.com/msdcidoc

A year ago, a non-academic friend listened to a talk I gave. I thought it went great. My friend disagreed.
She said that academics are experts at making interesting stuff boring—and that we should all take a speech class.
So I did. And here are 6 most useful things I learned.

Phenomenal paper just published in Science persuasively demonstrating that EBV causes most if not all multiple sclerosis.
Phenomenal epidemiological design and technical achievement. 👏

Finally! Now to disseminate to institutions - GFR should be calculated with an updated equation that does NOT include a race modifier.

Thank you @rachelegross and @nytimes for giving "pudendum" an opportunity to be discussed. This is so much bigger than my research -- it's an opportunity to fight for more equitable healthcare, together. #noshame nytimes.com/2021/09/21/scien…
Thanks for having us for another round of Clinical Crosswords, @JAMA_current!

Thrilled to finally share our 5-year labor of love on #HepatitisC in youth & hopefully shape policy. Half of #PWID needed—but didn't have—#naloxone during an overdose. We saw disparities in HCV risk awareness & harm reduction access among POC vs. White ppl doi.org/10.1186/s12889-021-1…
I'm grateful for amazing mentors: Rachel McLean @CAPublicHealth & @serotavirus @umiamimedicine, who gave me the opportunity to continue my 2016-19 MPH intern-turned-research associate work & build on it as a medical student. Can't wait to see what we do re: our takeaways⤵️ 4/5

Once upon a time, I wrote about experiences of bigotry in medicine as K.C. Ardem due to fear of retaliation.
Now, I write to you using my real name. It's time we take back our voices.
Many thanks to @NEJM for publishing this piece.

Zip. Code. Is. More. Important. Than. Biology.
Let that sink in. We talk so much about grade, ER, PR, HER2, margins, nodes... when we'd make more impact addressing social determinants of #BreastCancer survival.
