I NEED BLACK MEN TO GO TO THE DOCTOR! forblackmen.health

So proud and honored to be published in The Lancet as a co-author with my wonderful mentor Dr. Carmen Black. Our article is titled, Sociohistorical justice: a corrective framework to mend the modern harms of medical history. Check out the article below! sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=Ga…

The process of completing prior authorizations are so arduous and does not promote better patient care. Shame on these insurance companies.

If you didn’t match this year, I’m so sorry. It’s beyond devastating. It’s a reflection of the system— NOT YOU. I’m not about “well at least” or “look on the bright side” or “it could be worse”. No. This SUCKS. But it’s not over. Hold your head up high. Here for you 🖤

Congrats to everyone who matched today!! And to those that didn’t, you are deserving and I am sending encouragement and comfort!!

As expected, I did not match. If anyone knows of any strong researchers in my preferred specialty who need help for a year, lemme know ✨

Caplyta’s generic name not being Cariprazine is cruel and unusual punishment 😭

What are some good psychopharmacology resources besides Stahls?

What are you guys’ main go to interventions for treatment of delirium in older patients?

Five years ago I had suicidal ideation due to repeated sleep deprivation. I was a resident working long hours, including 28-hour calls. Sleep deprivation is an independent risk factor for suicide. Any discussion about physician wellness is wholly inadequate if it excludes sleep.

To all my aspiring pediatricians: I have an unexpected PGY-1 spot for immediate start. Unfortunately, I cannot support any visas at this time. If you are interested in this position, please email lbaustin@uams.edu + okasosoka@uams.edu with your CV, 2 LORs, and a letter of intent.

According to the WHO, the 2nd worldwide leading source of years of healthy life lost to premature death is unipolar major depression.

@DrJayMaxine Thank you! Ninja PRITE seems so daunting.

What resources should I use to study for PRITE? And what are some good question banks?
