@SophiaHRoberts @WUSTLsurgres @OhioStateMed @SarahMiterMD19 @CarlisleKendyl Congratulations! Welcome to the team!!

It’s not the Match Day we envisioned, but the results we dreamed of for years. Thrilled to have matched into General Surgery at WashU!!!!! @WUSTLsurgres @OhioStateMed #GenSurgMatch2020 #Match2020 #OSUCOM #MedTwitterMatchDay

ECFMG|FAIMER discussions with the State Department have led to the restart of processing J and H visas for IMGs who recently matched. More obstacles to overcome, but this is a great first step. #IMGs ow.ly/WEc250yY9re

The suspension of visa processing threatens the arrival of 4,200+ IMGs at U.S. teaching hospitals where they are needed to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. ECFMG|FAIMER is in close contact with the Department of State on potential solutions. #IMGs #SARSCoV2 ow.ly/Fcqi50yUHlq

@arghavan_salles @DrSusanDavidson What helped you make the most progress? I recently started from home and I love it but I’m a total beginner!

@JJcolemanMD The correct term for "female surgeon" is "surgeon".

Women/URMs are over-mentored. We need SPONSORS, people who will promote & recommend us for advancement. We are drowning in "helpful advice", yet see the same folks on the same panels year after year. Don't give us advice, give us opportunities! #WomeinMedicine #SocietiesasAllies

Since mid-2009, we have been writing the equivalent of the full Lord of the Rings Triology on our patients in the EMR each day. Time to make documentation more efficient! Great study by @Dr_Gecko_MD and @heatheryeomd! @WCMSurgery #ASC2019

Your daily reminder that the insulin I’ve used for 23 years, Humalog, has gone from $21 a vial to $278 a vial with no changes to the insulin or even the packaging. That’s a 1200% increase on a hormone every human requires to live, but my body can’t make. I die in 48 hours w/o it

So sad I couldn’t be there but SO happy to work with such amazing women anda place that supports us 100% @WashUSurgery

Yasssss @storystitchers We #tired of hearing #gunshots WE ALL OUT HERE TRYING TO #stopthebleed @laurie_punch @ErinGAndrade @WUSTLACCS

Probability of patients refilling prescription opioids after surgery does not correlate with initial prescription strength. Check out Table 2: HUGE interquartile ranges for initial opioid prescription strengths by procedure... Need better standardization. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28594744
