Today marks the 30th anniversary of the ADA. In the last 3 decades, we have seen individuals born w/disabilities (& acquired disabilities) thrive in every sector. There is so much work to be done w/ ADA accomodations, but we now have a seat at the table & that is what matters.

The CDC has removed the medical eligibility criteria for birth control from its website. It is disheartening to see politics interfering with modern science and obstructing physicians from providing patients with quality care.

How to write an introduction section for a medical research manuscript

Bravo @Delta for developing a new first-of-its-kind airline seat that allows wheelchair users to stay in their chairs. I previous went to the Capitol to advocate for this with @UnitedSpinal ! insider.com/delta-developi…

Rest Well Dr Nakita Mortimer 😔 Residency programs across the country need systemic and institutional overhauls. Residents (we) are struggling. We lost another bright light too soon. #Residency #SuicideAwareness #InstitutionalOppression #ResidentPhysicians

I came home to a suprise in the mail from @UMichUrology ! 🥰

Any tips or resources for psych/neuro?

I’m so excited to have matched Diagnostic Radiology at @ClinicRadiology. I’m really grateful to my mentor, Dr. Chirico, and my friends and family, who helped me along the way.

Had a great time at the Greenbrier with all of the medical students who attended the @WVStateMedical annual conference. As the chair of the med student section, it’s always exhilarating to see how passionate fellow students are for improving health care delivery in WV. #MedEd

Grant application are accepted from Sept 1st until November 4th. I can’t talk more highly of this organization and all they do!

For those w/ disabilities, getting involved in adaptive sports can be truly life changing, however, the expense of doing so can be a huge barrier. Fortunately, orgs like @CAFoundation can provide grants for equipment/competition. The CAF 2023 grant cycle goes live today! Apply:

Perhaps a shot in the dark: I would love to get more involved in research pertaining to accommodations in medical education/medical practice. If anyone might know of anyone who has a focus in this area or if you do–– I would love to chat :) #MedTwitter #DocsWithDisabilities

Getting a @wearfigs box in the mail is giving me the midweek pick-me up I needed ✨

All disabled people deserve the autonomy and freedom to make the decisions best for ourselves and our lives: about our health care, our families, and how we want to live. Today's Supreme Court decision will rob so many of self-determination. That is devastating.

Timeline is filled with so much good energy today! Congratulations Class of 2022!!! #Match2022 #MatchDay

Missile attack on the Kharkiv regional administration, Sumska 64. Grad shelling at residential areas. Putin now in total war with Ukraine.

Get up. Make some tea. Check the covid numbers. Ensure Zellensky is still alive. Commence day. We are truly living in wild times.
