“Every intern makes mistakes. The important thing is neither to make the same mistakes twice nor to make a whole bunch of mistakes all at once.”

Up to 82% of pregnant surgeons experience miscarriage, preterm delivery, and intrauterine growth restriction. Occupational hazards, including prolonged standing, physical exertion, overnight shifts, and teratogenic exposure, contribute to these risks.

My heart is heavy with gratitude for the life that has been given. I thank my tribe that has invested endless love, patience, and commitment in me. I leave 6 amazing years at Yale with friends turned into family and moments turned into cherished memories ♥️ 🙏🏼

Truly a whirlwind of emotions these last few days. I feel blessed to have been given the opportunity to embark on the journey of becoming a plastic and reconstructive surgeon at @OhioState. Thankful to my tribe who has always anchored me with their love and support.

Succinct summary of what going tuition-free does for medical schools:
⬆️ selectivity
⬆️ U.S. News & World Report ranking
⬇️ % of students going into lower-paying specialties/primary care
ALT NYU’s matriculating student MCAT range narrowed from 506-528 in the 2017-2018 admissions cycle to 516-527 in the 2022-2023 admissions cycle, and their accepted GPA range narrowed from 3.45-4.0 to 3.62-4.0 in the same time frame. Thanks at least in part for this increased selectivity, their U.S. News & World Report ranking rose from #11 in 2018 to #3 in 2019. In addition, no students in the NYU Grossman School of Medicine’s inaugural tuition-free class, who matriculated in the fall of 2018 and graduated in 2022, matched into family medicine. Three students from the class that matriculated in fall 2019 matched into family medicine in 2023, and the number of students matching into pediatrics decreased from 10 in 2022 to 6 in 2023.
“Relieving the burden of student loan repayment does nothing to address the link between wealth and medical school admissions in the United States.”

Beef emits 31 times more CO₂ per calorie of food than tofu does. By cooking so many cows, humans are cooking themselves, too. Forgoing steaks may be one of the most efficient ways to reduce our carbon footprint econ.st/3uhzES8 👇
Thankful to PRS for sharing this work, which highlights the importance of supporting children with Medicaid to access treatment for plagiocephally.
In this video, Dr. Lisa R. David, discusses “Role of State Insurance Policy in Orthotic Helmet Access for Deformational #Plagiocephaly” by Hauc, Long, Littlefield, et al, which appears in the July 2023 issue of #PRS, Volume 152 Issue 1.

To build a diverse class of students, the medical school at UC Davis ranks applicants by the disadvantages they have faced. The disadvantage scale helped turn UC Davis into one of the most diverse medical schools in the U.S. Can it work nationally? nyti.ms/440SbPr
Hey! I’m that med student you spoke with last night and I fully agree with you. But instead of emphasizing exam scores, we need residencies to value more holistic qualities in candidates. Humanism and interpersonal skills needs to be appreciated as much as scores and pubs.

Match is framed as a joyous occasion but it’s probably one of the reasons residents lack mobility, control and competitive pay. A better system would be a job market year round, getting multiple offer then negotiating pay & it being private—you know like every other profession

We are closer to our goal of #medicaleducation without #studentdebt thanks to a $25 million gift from the Starr Foundation. Starting 2023-24, students with demonstrated #financialneed will not be called on to take out more than $10,000 in #loans per year. http://bit.…

You’re 24x more likely to become a doctor if your parents were doctors, compared to those whose parents did any other type of work. Similarly, you’re 17x more likely to become a lawyer if your parents are lawyers. Here’s how it varies among the elite professions.

Lots of discussion today about the excellent New York Times expose on designed healthcare worker shortages at Ascension Health.
Reminder that this was among the prophecies I issued last December in my “Predictions and Prophecies for 2022.”

Awesome work @SumunKhetpalMD!

I may not have a Tik-Tok, but this was still a fun study to work on!
New research published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery – Global Open shows that plastic surgeons are increasingly using the social media site TikTok to post promotional content and broaden their patient base.
