Graduating the awesome radiology residency class of 2025! @UAMSRadiology @uams_ir @uamshealth @UAMS_RIG @jmeichhorn @theshadowfixer @JimmypMd @ArushiDevgan

Radvocates and all #medtwitter, take a moment for #advocacy and urge Congress to retroactively stop 🛑 the full 3.4% cut that was made to the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule that took effect on 1/1/24. …ology.ac360.aristotleactioncenter.com/#/alertId/b8cc… This prewritten email may be #radiology specific.

You know who is rightfully terrified of private equity? New residency/fellowship graduates. Right now, independent, physician-owned practices have a massive recruiting advantage. You should be shouting your hatred of private equity from the rooftops.

Residents enjoyed the workshop immensely and gained a great deal from it. I was delighted to give a presentation on the endovascular treatment of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke.

Our #RadRes + @UAMSneurosurg and @UAMSNeurology, just completed an immersive hands-on Neurovascular training course. Exciting course with highly positive feedback! 🩸💉🤖🎮 @DrRoopaRam @CERENOVUS_HQ @uamshealth @uams_ir @SNISinfo @theshadowfixer @AANSNeuro @CNS_Update @JNJNews

Radiologists when you open a random door in the hospital basement

Counterpoint: staging is not medically emergent, ERs and radiologists are insanely busy on call, and it is a disservice to the patient to have the staging exam read by an on-call radiologist when it could be done by a specialized body or chest imager on the next business day.

I don’t usually brag about our residency program, but today I’m gonna make an exception. Like other children’s hospitals, we’re managing a surge in respiratory illness. But unlike most hospitals, we’re gonna pay the residents who work extra overnight/weekend shifts $100/hour.

1/Hate it when one radiologist called the stenosis mild, the next one said moderate--but it was unchanged?! Here’s a #tweetorial of a lumbar grading system that’s easy, reproducible & evidence-based #medtwitter #spine #neurosurgery #radres #neurorad #meded #FOAMed #FOAMrad

@DrPrasaGR @nkagetsu Can vouch for the MX Master 3

@nkagetsu Not sure about gaming, but the Logitech MX Master 3 or vertical version sure do.

For radiologists: Does a gaming mouse make you more efficient?

I humbly submit a draft proposal for a new multimodality standardized radiology grading schema: Sigh-RADS.

Another year passes, another bevy of new drugs is developed and new disorders/mechanisms defined. All are added to Step exams with nothing taken away. Medical science grows and its all thrown at students to learn no matter how impossible learning it all may be. The result:burnout

Starting radiology training? Here is a guide for new radiology trainees starting their first year of training 🧵(1/8) @_the_SRT @RCRadiologists @RSNA #FOAMrad RT's appreciated!

@OgechiGNwosu @KemiMDRad You'll do great! Best of luck with interview season.

Certified & Submitted on ERAS 🎉 It still doesn’t feel real that I’m applying for the job that I’ve been dreaming of my whole life 🥲 So grateful for my amazing mentors @KemiMDRad & @JimmypMd! Looking forward to the journey ahead! #futureradres #match2022

@Ben__Kaminski @futureradres Felson's Principles of Chest Roentgenology is an amazing starter book. Very helpful for intern year too.

Patients win when each member of their health care team plays the role they are educated and trained to play. That includes care led by physicians—the most highly educated, trained and skilled health care professionals. spr.ly/6011H6OWZ #StopScopeCreep
