@YounisJoseph @shycollie So I am asking you again.. If a physician who graduated from a standardized residency abroad passed board certification in the US, applied to a job in the US and was hired following an interview, why would this be unfair? Seems to me that its just more competition.

Why do residencies require standardization and not med school: Because you don’t become a licensed Dr after med school? How do residencies know you’re not an idiot: There are safeguards in place to certify your med education: 1. Ecfmg 2. WDMS 3. Step 1 4. Step 2 5. Application 6. Interview If all that fails to detect a dumbass, they still have to go through residency. Seems robust to me

Out of 963 orthopedics residency match spots, exactly 5 were offered to non-US IMGs; that’s about 0.5%. I demand justice for this great replacement

@shycollie @YounisJoseph Also interesting that that these advocates take no issue with the US medical system stealing the best and the brightest from countries around the world. What happened to health equity? These countries need excellent doctors more than the US does.

@shycollie @YounisJoseph They are pulling the ladders up behind them.. Medical school has never been more expensive, and matching into competitive specialties have never been more difficult. Physician compensation is also declining.. Sounds about right to make it even more difficult for medical students.

@YounisJoseph @shycollie Why not create a regulatory body that evaluates residency programs globally, and those who meet the standard should be allowed to practice in the US without US residency training?

@shycollie @arghhhhhhhhh92 You don’t need to complete residency to apply, you need USMLE 1/2 scores and a medical school diploma (with ECFMG certification from a school listed in WDMS). Your question is easily answered by reiterating: every American license must follow American procedures

@YounisJoseph @shycollie Why do residency training and board certification require standardization, but medical school does not? Seems rather hypocritical to me..

@YounisJoseph @shycollie This exact argument can be used in the context of residency applications. How can US residencies verify that non LCME regulated medical schools are up to standard and have fair evaluations of didactic and clerkship performances?

@YounisJoseph @shycollie But lets test your consistency.. Should we also remove the US residency requirement to practice medicine in the US? Why should we not welcome more competition on the attending level if competition is inherently good?

@YounisJoseph @shycollie I think you are missing the point.. Those are taxpayer funded training spots and should go to people who are from and trained in the US. Nobody takes issue with IMG applicants soaping into unfilled spots.

@M29288Mary @ValerieAnne1970 Covered up what? Vasovagal syncope?

@ValerieAnne1970 I so remembered and then they covered it up

ICU Nurse, Tiffany Dover, was one of the 1st people in the world to get a COVID mRNA injection...within 30 seconds on national TV, she collapsed.

@DrHarryDOesHep @BrennanSpiegel Baging in takes 30 seconds…

@BrennanSpiegel Versus me badging in and out all day across multiple terminals, logging in and out at each one each time. I probably lose 30 min a day doing that

First day using AI-powered smart glasses in clinic. Real-time EHR. No turning to the screen. Just eye contact and conversation. All the data I need, when I need it, dynamically served up and projected into the room. Even differential diagnosis! Early… but unbelievably good 👇

@BrennanSpiegel I would much rather talk to a physician sitting infront of a computer that I can maintain eye contact with than a person with ridiculous looking sunglasses.. This feels remarkably antisocial and demonstrates everything that is wrong with modern medicine.

@MaryBowdenMD The SAVE trial had a mean adherence of 3.3 hours per night for the CPAP group. The group is thus either sleeping considerably less than what is recommended, or alternatively not adhering to their CPAP therapy. CPAP is first and foremost for symptom relief...

Two biggest studies on CPAP for sleep apnea completely disagree on mortality: SAVE trial: No benefit - CPAP didn’t reduce CV events or death in patients with OSA + heart disease. Lancet meta-analysis: CPAP linked to 37% lower all-cause mortality & 55% lower CV mortality. Guess which one was funded by @Resmed (leading manufacturer of CPAP machines)?

@TheFootyBurner @Talking_spurss Why woukd Wharton want to come to Tottenham?

@Talking_spurss Hear this every year. Baleba will just be bissouma 2.0 and Alex Scott is just the type of player we always get, an almost one. Why not go big on Wharton or Anderson,

#thfc Tottenham have significant intrest in both Alex Scott and Carlos Baleba ahead of what is expected to be the biggest window in the clubs history.

@Lukeywwna @kneesantos Santos did something equally bad when she threatened to harm the patient in the neck brace.

@kneesantos somewhat agree but realistically he wasn't damaging his patients' care, also Santos still needs to be a doctor first and this feud has gotten in the way of her work already several times this season

i am just going to say that santos is extremely valid for feeling however she does and even HE acknowledges it so i don’t wanna hear anyone saying shit about her for this reaction (ALSO AL-HASHIMI SEEING THIS GO DOWN OHHHHH) #pittspoilers

@JacoCats Nobody thought we would go through.. This match was all about building momentum and getting the good feelings back at home for our remaining league games. Momentum is key!

Unfortunately, our intensity dropped a lot in the last 15 minutes. Now we need a miracle.

@rottemedia @TheFigen_ Nothing is free? Multiple medical schools in the US that have gone tuition-free.

@TheFigen_ nothing is free a medical school has to pay for instructors, equipment, light bill, insurance did she commit to paying perpetually for all that

The world’s richest woman, Alice Walton, just built a completely free medical school.

@alexmd2 @DrDiGiorgio You're easily looking at 6-12 months to see a subspecialist in most areas of the US. Even primary care schedules out 4-8 months now. If you are fine with seeing a nurse practitioner you can get an appointment within a few weeks.

@DrDiGiorgio In y area you can see a PCP same day. Most specialists within one week of you are not looking for a specific one.

Anybody can get in to see me and get treated in, at most, 1/4 the time of that.

@Reniec7 @DrDiGiorgio Not really? You're easily looking at a 6-12 month wait to see a subspecialist in the US.

@DrDiGiorgio Those times are ridiculous.

@fuqekgs @staywith_ash I assume this was in reference to the placement of chest tubes..

@arghhhhhhhhh92 @staywith_ash ???

Everyone be like "the Pitt isnt a documentary it shouldn't be educational" lmao tell me why I got a question correct on my national medical exam because it was mentioned on the Pitt

@staywith_ash @fuqekgs You did not learn the the intercostal neurovascular bundle travels in the costal grove in medical school?

@fuqekgs Thx to the pitt I'll always remember that you need to avoid going under the ribs cuz the wires are there
