Introducing Roon for Doctors. Medicine at its best is a profoundly collaborative craft — and we’ve built a new home online for exactly that kind of collaboration.

The ARTISTRY-1 and 2 studies of BIC/LEN were presented at CROI this year. One looked at BIC/LEN for PWH on "complex" regimens. The second study was blinded, comparing it to BIC/FTC/TAF. Both important. I described the studies and what they mean for clinicians on ROON.

Will be a great event!

Lovely analysis from the great Dr Topf you can check it out here directly roon.com/doctors/posts/…

Tikkun Olam (Hebrew for “repairing the world”) is a Jewish tenet that teaches we have a moral obligation to make the world better. We heal the the world through ethical action, justice, kindness, and community-building. It’s all of our responsibility to leave things more whole than we found them. Right now, many of us are wandering through the post-#MedTwitter wilderness looking for the next place to rebuild what we lost — a space where nephrology and medicine can argue, teach, listen, and learn in public. We have tried Mastadon, which has established itself as a viable destination for nerds, and nephrology would find itself at home is such a place, but we need to bring our less nerdy medical colleagues along to remake MedTwitter and they balked at the complexity. It really never achieved lift off with our people. LinkedIn has recently seen increasing use by doctors, but the polished, corporate-Stepford energy makes real intellectual interaction…unlikely. Threads had promise, but living inside Zuckerberg’s Orwellian panopticon made me long for something closer to an Enlightenment coffeehouse. I like BlueSky but a year after NephJC moved to their from X the community remains stagnent. I think the original sin here is that Blue Sky emerged from resistance politics which makes it particularly distasteful to a lot of medicine. And for that reason it cannot be a viable MedTwitter replacement. Which brings me to the newest kid on the block: Roon for Doctors. It’s so young it just qualified for its first DTaP vaccine. And that’s the opportunity. Just as Tikkun Olam calls us to actively repair the world, a platform still under construction gives us the chance, and the responsibility, to shape it into the professional community we want. • A place built first for physicians talking to physicians • A place optimized for teaching, debate, and mutual support • A place that values intellectual rigor more than pharmaceutical ad inventor I’ve spoken with the founders. Their vision aligns with what many of us have been missing. But it won't work without you. Come, join me* in building our future medical discussion platform. * yeah yeah yeah, I know that today only American physicians are welcome, but the leadership at Roon assures me that the roadmap includes expanding the community to both physicians in other countries and other medical professionals. For now, sign up for the wait list

Mark’s message to doctors: you’re underpaid & overworked because of administrative waste. Healthcare econ is simple: cost, payment, risk. Fix PBMs, incentives, and the deductible “guarantee” mess—and the system gets simpler fast.

New Good Medicine with @mcuban ! 🇺🇸 Healthcare isn’t just expensive—it’s complex (often intentionally). What if complexity is the real barrier to affordability… because it hides where the money goes?

@MedwatchKate @DrewMoghanaki @MedwatchKate yes! - we have the Roon for patients app which you can access here (more than 50+ conditions with expert guidance) roon.com/breast-cancer/… but the Roon for doctors app is accessible only to verified MDs

@drRohanR @DrewMoghanaki Thx Rohan. Can patients access Roon?

I agree. Let’s create a new platform and move all of #MedTwitter to this new place so we can flourish without all the distractions that exist here. 🚀

Great to have the amazing @PTarantinoMD leading the charge!

Excited to join Roon as a Founding Physician! Over the past weeks, I’ve experienced the promise of this platform — a space of discussion built for clinicians, including the gray areas that don’t fit neatly into guidelines. Create an account in <1 min here: roon.com

Excited to join @Roon’s early community as a Founding Physician. We're building the digital home for physicians - a trusted space where doctors can connect, collaborate, and advance clinical knowledge together. If you’re a U.S.-based physician in oncology, please join the community. (Link below)

If you care about physician advocacy, burnout, payment reform, or just the impact the AMA can have in your professional life, this conversation is worth your time.

He also talks beautifully about what it meant to make his diagnosis public, to feel an “overwhelming expression of love,” and to decide that his job now is to leave the world better than he found it.

What happens when the AMA President is told he has a brain tumor? That’s the reality Dr. Bobby Mukkamala has been living — as a longtime Flint doc, and now Pres of the @AmerMedicalAssn who recently crossed the line from doctor to patient after being dxd with a glioma.
