@Runforhealth65 Congrats, Colleen and you should celebrate for a job. Well done! @nkuppermann

I received an award for collaborating with my fellow educators to incorporate biomedical science into our new medical curriculum. I really love collaborating and learning new things so this award is icing on the cake and very inspirational for me.

These faces - and so many more - represent the incredible female faculty, staff and trainees throughout UC Davis Health. Our institution and the entire Sacramento community is better and healthier due to all of your hard work. Thank you for all you do! #IWD #EmbraceEquity

Key points: -our protocol was greatly aided by creating a BPA (best practice advisory) in the EMR -we worked with our clinical pharmacists to deliver vaccine doses -the ED can deliver vaccines to unhoused populations #emergencymedicine #COVID19 #vaccinate

🚨New Pub! In 2021 our department initiated an ED based COVID-19 vaccination protocol and we are excited to share the results! Assessment of a COVID-19 vaccination protocol for unhoused patients in the emergency department. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Thank you to our extraordinary @UCDavisHealth women physicians for their leadership and dedication to improving the lives of everyone in our community and training the next generation of trailblazing physicians! #WomenPhysiciansDay #MedEd

Most kids with RSV can be treated at home, but when should they see a doctor or go to the hospital? Our experts provide these tips: ucdavis.health/3grN4Eq #RSV

Many thanks to @Veronica_A_Pear, @UCDavisCVP and @UCDavisEM, for her engaging discussion on #RedFlag laws and preventing violence. If you missed this week's #CHPRSeminarSeries, watch our video to catch up: video.ucdavis.edu/media/CHPR+Sem…

A word of caution. A viral infection decreases, but does not eliminate risk of IBI! AAP guidelines rec blood testing on any febrile infant < 60 d regardless of viral status as we do not yet know how to modify guidelines based on viral infection. See # 12 in research priorities!

Congratulations to @UCDavisEM on being awarded two @NIH grants totaling over $5 million to improve patient care in the emergency department setting! ucdavis.health/3X92jme

We treated more than 300 patients in the Emergency Department yesterday — almost an all-time high. As the holidays approach, we are seeing more cases of flu, RSV and COVID-19. Please mask up, wash your hands and get vaccinated to slow the spread of illness.
