Check out our new study, led by Vishal Patel, out in JAMA Internal Medicine, that takes advantage of new data to tell us about mortality among physicians and other health care workers. Some surprising findings 👇

While most health care workers have lower overall mortality rates than the general population, disparities in mortality based on sex, race, and ethnicity persist, particularly among physicians. ja.ma/3CXyIa9 Chris Worsham Ishani Ganguli MD, MPH


Most viewed from JAMA Internal Medicine: Although physicians and most health care workers experienced lower mortality rates compared with the general population, this benefit did not fully extend to female individuals or racial and ethnic minority groups. ja.ma/3XmF5ee

What if we already have a vaccine for dementia? Great explainer of my group’s new Nature paper (nature.com/articles/s4158…) on shingles vax by Chris Worsham Anupam Jena: tinyurl.com/2spnvvsy and summary by Eric Topol: bit.ly/4lkCJXs. Video here: tinyurl.com/yc37nxua
