We could not be more excited for these incredible physicians. The future is bright for each of them, and we cannot wait to see how this next step helps them continue to grow. @katiek_md @AlexEmersonMD @Chris_Bosma @Courtneyawelch @JoeyNeedlemanMD @akaneesha16

One of my pediatric patients in clinic today told me I was a “fun doctor.” And that’s the kind of boost I needed amongst my post-holiday and COVID funk. #MedPeds

A 66yo patient today told me she’s “thirsty and feisty.” And if I were a dating man that’d be a great Tinder bio.

Scheduled to get my COVID vaccine on Friday. I never thought I’d be in the thick of a historical moment. What stories we’ll have to tell our grandkids.

Listening to @officeladiespod. @jennafischer & @AngelaKinsey have the purest friendship and hearing them share their stories and love for each other is what we all need in 2020.

On #GivingTuesday, please help spread the word to sponsor a service dog puppy in honor of Megan Shacklett, a first responder who, after a recent accident, is facing brain & spinal injuries. If you would like to help, visit the link below for more info.

Inspired by all the @BritishBakeOff episodes we’ve been watching, I decided to attempt my first homemade apple pie. It looks a bit of a mess, but the taste was good and there was no soggy bottom.

So for the GRAND finale of this years MP scavenger hunt... picture of all fourteen of us with our favorite fall beverage #IUMedPeds #IUMPscavengerhunt2020 so cheers to the maximal effort we spent the last 5 days.

Riley Hospital dates back to 1924 and is the only free-standing children’s hospital in Indiana. It has gathered a lot of unique exhibits over the years, including the micro-museum, or “Microseum.” Feat. PGY2 @Courtneyawelch admiring the micro-exhibits. #IUMedPeds #ScavengerHunt✅

Final day of the #IUMedPeds #ScavengerHunt and the PGY2s are crushing it. Stay tuned for a stream of victory tweets from the “Chillest Class” who totally isn’t competitive at all.

@alycooke_ @Courtneyawelch @IUMedPeds @KapilSasha @JoeyNeedlemanMD @Tim_Crisci This is the family vibe that the @IUMedPeds program has that drew me to the program!

When you try to slash the competition and end up with an unintentional PGY-2/PGY-3 collab for the #IUMedPeds #ScavengerHunt @IUMedPeds @KapilSasha @alycooke_ @JoeyNeedlemanMD @Tim_Crisci ✅3 people meet at the “_NDY” sign #circlecity @IUMedPeds

Eskenazi even went so far as to build a dog park for the therapy dogs to provide wellness for our four-legged friends! @IUMedPeds #IUMedPeds #ScavengerHunt

@EskenaziHealth is our safety net hospital that provides numerous resources for our patients. One of those resources is utilizing the human-animal bond for healing through their therapy dog program.

Today is day 3 of the #IUMedPeds #ScavengerHunt! One of the tasks was to snap a spy shot of our amazing Program Coordinator @PaulRahrig. He’s a huge asset to our program and we appreciate all he does to make our program great!

That imposter syndrome is real.

Waiting in line to #vote and the wait time is 2.5 hrs+. That “I voted” sticker is starting to look more and more like an achievement trophy with each passing minute.

Here goes my first ever tweet on #NationalInternalMedicineDay to say that #IMProud to be an internal medicine (and pediatrics) resident! I love having the opportunity care for patients from all walks of life.
