@DrScottHadland Thank you for the reminder on our purpose and work. Take care.

My viewpoint from the field of pediatrics in the wake of the election results. As pediatricians, politics & policy touch everything we do. I see the impact firsthand every day: - The teen with immunodeficiency who listens to politicians demonize vaccines—even though these protections could mean everything to his health and safety - The young adult who has been raped and needs access to *the full range* of reproductive services - The teenager battling depression and thoughts of suicide, but who’s on Medicaid—insurance that many private doctors can’t afford to accept because of inadequate reimbursements - The young person struggling with their gender identity, while lawmakers publicly vilify them, threatening their safety and well-being These are real people, and they’re the faces behind every choice our politicians make. So, what do we do when politicians make our worker harder? **We work together. We do important, hard work in our daily lives.** For me, this means caring for each patient and family in front of me, putting one foot in front of the other, and fighting for science, evidence, and what’s good and right in this world.

@JehannazD @NUFeinbergMed Congratulations! Love the new letters Dr. Dastoor MD MPH!

@BerniceKing Thank you for sharing these. We will be revisiting these tonight.

🧵 ~#MLKDay Eve Reading/Listening~ I invite everyone to read and/or listen to my father’s words this evening before posting tomorrow. Here’s a list:

It’s not easy to screen for social & economic needs. New @JournalGIM paper describes innovations @ErieFamHealth made in first 2 years of pandemic. With support from @alliancecchs @davidtliss @mita_goel #socialcare #SDOH buff.ly/3FHT7Og

It was an emotional moment when @6figga_dilla brought M1 students from @NUFeinbergMed to the church today where we bore witness to this important site honoring Emmett Till and Mamie-Till Mobley.

Grateful for the expertise on Chicago history and experience in Chicago communities shared by Sherida Morrison and @JenBrownARCC during our first week with @NUFeinbergMed M1 students.

So much #pride in our fearless HEAT leaders ⁦@JustinFiala⁩ and Dr. Muriel Jean Jacques to see the culmination of ⁦@NorthwesternMed⁩ equity training.

Precious is a brilliant individual with a passion and drive for improving the health of not just individuals, but communities. She’s wildly deserving of this honor. It’s been an honor to be her MD/MPH advisor. 💕

@NammiKan So many visceral memories of this time. Also, observed one of the trials as a student. It was chilling.

@jalenkb @FeinbergODI @NUFeinbergMed Thank you for sharing yourself and this important data. I feel so lucky you are here! All TGNC individuals deserve to feel loved, safe, and valued…wherever they are.

At 23, I made the very scary decision to pursue a more authentic version of myself in a setting where I was meeting new people and forming my professional identity. I could not have started this journey without the incredible support of my institution @FeinbergODI @NUFeinbergMed!

Happy #TransDayOfVisibility 🏳️‍⚧️🤍 I want to validate the lives of all people under the transgender umbrella by saying you are worthy, you are loved and you are enough. Finding the most authentic version of yourself is one of life’s greatest blessings.

What a fabulous way to celebrate match day…by honoring the city you trained in with this lovely gift. Please support @trpender and @annika_div with a donation to the Pilsen Food Pantry! Public health, advocacy and humanism at its finest 💕

@TheRealCKCKC @rsilton @StBaldricks These are some amazing humans braving the shave again! That’s my mom and kiddo 💕

Hot off the press! 📰 New @NU_NCEAS scoping review in @AnnFamMed by Drs. @mita_goel @laurengard28 @thewrightkaty @AaronParz @PaulRavenna @s_persell Examining How Social Risk Factors Are Integrated Into Clinical Settings Using Existing Data: annfammed.org/content/21/Sup…

@NU_MedEd @NUFeinbergMed Grateful for the leadership of @ShawnSmithMD1 and @aquarl3s in bringing this panel together!

Another great session for @NUFeinbergMed M2s—covering pediatric palliative/end of life care during an important Health Equity & Advocacy class. This part of our curriculum builds upon the understanding of social determinants of health, implicit bias, and health disparities.

The depth of thought in the presentation by @ElleLettMDPhD and @mclemoremr made me dig deeper. Highly recommend members of the @NUFeinbergMed community watch and reflect on how to implement their recommendations.

@McGawGME @ElleLettMDPhD @mclemoremr @NUFeinbergMed @NUCATSInstitute @nu_ipham @CCH_NU 🙏to @ElleLettMDPhD & @mclemoremr for 📢 highlighting need for community-directed research that redistributes resources & power to groups that have the experiential & scholarly knowledge of inequities @McGawGME #HealthEquityWeek Session on #HealthEquityTourism

@JL_Lycette In all seriousness, love seeing where you are and what you’re doing now. I’m quite sure you’re amazing with your patients (and parents!).

As a medical educator and researcher, I think this work is so important to amplify. It can help highlight practices that sustain or diminish our URM students. #inclusionscience

@JL_Lycette As your former outpatient preceptor, I feel I have failed your parents. 🥺
