@handekizilocak @TulPeds Congrats! We're so excited to have you joining our team!

COVID+ rate @CHNOLA is 22.7%, highest since 01/22. Ten kids hospitalized; 4 in ICU. With schools open and pathetic rates of mask usage and vaccination, all of these numbers will rise. We’re sacrificing common sense and the health of our children to wishful thinking and denialism.

How is it, that in the yr 2022, children are denied access to life-saving medications bc they are ineligible for Medicaid and prescription drug assistance programs based solely on where they were born. And we just carry on like this is normal and ok? It’s outrageously immoral.

As Moderna requests authorization from @US_FDA for a vaccine for the youngest children, the AAP urges the review process begin as soon as possible with the transparency and thoroughness that families deserve. Our statement: aap.org/en/news-room/n…

According to CDC, 1513 children have died of COVID; 476 were <5 yo. No amount of denial and misinformation can diminish the pain, grief and lost potential associated with every single one of these deaths. It’s high time we vaccinated every child against COVID, including those <5.

We are excited to announce another CHANGE grant project led by Desire' Guillory. She will be distributing surveys to pediatric trainees to look at the relationship between perceived racial discrimination and trainees' mental health #RxAgainstRacism

I like to ask if my patient’s siblings have a pediatrician - many times they don’t & if you ask why it is only because they weren’t born in this country. Especially in familias latinas. I believe every child deserves a pediatrician & you can make a difference too if you ask!

Not a single child is hospitalized with COVID today @CHNOLA, the first time since November, 2020. The virus is not done with us, but this is a great day to celebrate the commitment and hard work of thousands of families and health professionals across our community.

Realizing I'm just as excited to find out our matching triple board class as I am for our categorical peds today. TB brings so much to our program, I can't imagine my training without them. @TySpradleyMD @DBrierreMD

@proanoA @ashleymatter1 @FuturePedsRes @Inside_TheMatch @gitachad @oyinoshinowoDO @DocTNS @StephShea4 I'm a 24 (28 really) kinda guy even if I don't get a nap in on them. I just like post call days. Work hard play hard

@ashleymatter1 @FuturePedsRes @Inside_TheMatch I prefer 24s - I can usually take a nap and go back to normal circadian cycle schedule. What do you prefer? @gitachad @oyinoshinowoDO @DocTNS @BrandonKatzMD @StephShea4

Dear #MedTwitter & #PedsTwitter, Do you prefer 24s or night float and why? Sincerely, A confused applicant 💖 @FuturePedsRes @Inside_TheMatch #PedsMatch2022 #match2022 #PedsICU
