I am begging people to understand that almost every test on the planet has something called "false positives," which means a risk that a result of the test is WRONG. A WRONG result can lead to necessary fear, worry, and at worst, unnecessary INVASIVE procedures or even unnecessary surgery. The chance of someone getting a false positive goes down when the person is at a higher risk of having an actual problem (ie. A specific SYMPTOM). This is called a higher "pretest probability." This is why doctors don't recommend everyone get every test all the time.

Today our current residents welcomed the incoming intern class! Exciting! #Welcome #FamilyMedicine #MedEd #UCLA @cafp_familydocs @cafp_foundation

Ecstatic to be joining this incredible program and amazing group of incoming residents! 💙💛 #familymedicine #Match2024

Here is the recap video for #MatchDay2024! More than 90 #uazmedphx students matched into 16 different residency programs/tracks!

Had the best time co-coordinating @GoldFdtn Solidarity Week at @uazmedphx last week, from time with therapy dogs to an engaging discussion on health equity and advocacy! Grateful to the GHHS community for celebrating compassion and kindness in medicine ♥️ #ghhs #solidarityweek

This week is Gold Humanism Honor Society Solidarity Week and the college's GHHS chapter is hosting series of events this week to celebrate humanism within medicine. Visit here for more details on this week's events: bit.ly/499fFEL

@bernice_alcanzo You are amazing!! Congratulations Bernice!!! ❤️🌟

Absolutely thrilled that I get to be a part of this amazing program!!!

Feeling so affirmed with my choice of specialty going through #FMRevolution interviews 🙌🏼 I’ve found my people and love hearing from others who share a passion for community medicine and providing care to the underserved #Match2024

We’re SO EXCITED to have officially submitted ERAS and applied for residency!! I couldn’t imagine a better partner to take on this chapter with. A huge thank you to everyone who helped us along the way. See you on the interview trail! ☺️ #couplesmatch #Match2024 #peds #familymed

Don't grieve for it

Had the absolute BEST time at #AAFPNC the past 2 days! Exhausted but so happy after spending time with classmates, reconnecting with old friends, lots of networking with residency programs, and eating KC BBQ of course. Next up: more aways and ERAS! 🤞🥰 #FMRevolution @aafp

So many amazing @uazmedphx students at #AAFPNC ! The future of family medicine in Arizona is bright! 😎🌵

OMW to #AAFPNC in Kansas City (wearing my @uazmedphx shirt of course) and could not be more excited! Although a day late, I can’t wait to learn more about hot topics in Family Medicine and interact with residency programs that could be my home a year from now 🤩 #FMRevolution

The future of the #FMRevolution is so bright! #AAFPNC

Nearly 50% of pregnancies in the US are unintended, especially in young, low-income minorities, so this is a HUGE step in health access that the @US_FDA just approved the first over-the-counter (OTC) #birthcontrol. Things to remember: 👩🏻‍⚕️Take it the SAME TIME OF DAY, EVERY DAY. This is key to efficacy (at least within 3 hours). 👩🏻‍⚕️It does not protect against STDs, so still use condoms if that is a possibility. 👩🏻‍⚕️It is a hormone (no estrogen, just progestin). Make sure to tell your doctor you are on it - don’t forget just b/c it’s OTC! #psa #medtwitter

Since I’m officially a 4th year medical student, I thought I’d share some pearls for 3rd year/clinicals that I wish I had known. These are just a reflection of my personal experiences and thus are totally subjective… 🧵🪡 (1/9)
