It was great to return to @ClevelandClinic two weeks ago to reconnect with friends and learn about the management of irAEs for patients who have received immunotherapy treatment. Thank you @FunchainMD, Laura Wood, and colleagues for planning such a great meeting!

Fighting for physicians The AMA is your powerful ally, focused on addressing the issues important to you, so you can focus on what matters mostβ€”patients.

I just heard two powerful addresses from @AmerMedicalAssn leaders, President @JackResneckMD and @CEO_AMA James L. Madara, MD. If you don't know about the AMA Recovery Plan for America's Physicians, get to know it -- they're #FightingForDocs.#AMAmtg

Use of a Real-Time Locating System to Assess Resident Location and Movement This cross-sectional study uses a real-time locating system to characterize work experiences and location in the hospital among internal medicine residents, particularly time spent at patients’ bedsides.

"Mean percentage of time at the bedside during a 24-hour period varied among [internal medicine] interns from 8.8% to 18.3%." More time spent at bedside correlates with more job satisfaction, better wellness.

It’s #ThankAResident (and Fellow!) day. I am so grateful that all my training programs - Cleveland Clinic, UC San Diego, and now Scripps - have been so wellness focused. I started my day with a group mental wellness session funded by my training program!

2023 resolution tip: If there's a friend or family member you haven't spoken with in a while, don't wait another minute to reconnect. Life is precious and short!

I was super proud of this resolution that was initially authored by the @ASCO @AmerMedicalAssn delegation. It was broadened by the House of Delegates to include all patients.

I think that β€œlack of control” certainly drives burnout. I know so many doctors who cannot control how many pts are seen in clinic, double bookings, or appt length.

I had a family meeting that went well today. The logistics all fell into place, starting with the nurse who found chairs for everyone and left them at bedside with my name on them! I was very grateful. It helped set a comfortable stage for conversion and understanding.

Telemedicine's time has arrived As the need for remote health care expands, medical educators and residents continue to refine the best ways to teach and learn telemedicine.

Telemedicine is here to stay. I was quoted in this ACP article on the subject. I discussed our telemedicine curriculum for medicine residents at the Cleveland Clinic. @CCF_IMCHIEFS

Navigating Loss of Abortion Services β€” A Large Academic Medical Center Prepares for the Overturn of Roe v. Wade | NEJM With the overturn of Roe v. Wade appearing imminent, U.S. medical centers must prepare carefully to manage the systemwide impact of abortion’s criminalization.

Health systems ... will soon bear witness to the reality that abortion care, or lack thereof, is a health care and health equity issue. Avoiding the issue will not be possible, short of abandoning care and equity missions altogether.
