🤩this makes my WHOLE YEAR Amber Lanae Martirosov

Beyond proud of this episode with my friend and inhaler guru Amber Lanae Martirosov. Special thanks to HRSA GACA for supporting me to think about this important topic the last 4 years. #geripulm #inhalersareconfusing #learnPartD American Geriatrics Society American Thoracic Society (ATS) CMSGov UCSF Health


Stepping out of our silos and developing cross-disciplinary clinical and research teams drives progress. UC San Francisco’s Dr. Angela Suen is doing just that, integrating #ILD #Geriatrics and #PalliativeCare to reimagine our approach to care models. A rising ⭐️



Last call (for this upcoming academic year), come join us UC San Francisco as pulmonary faculty! Apply asap before we review applications in January!

We are delighted to host Dr. Ken Covinsky Ken Covinsky from UCSF Geriatrics as the Clin-STAR Distinguished Professor at #ATS2024! Dr. Covinsky gave a fantastic talk today and will moderate & speak again tomorrow! Clin-STAR Coordinating Center The National Institute on Aging (NIA) ATS Crit Care #gericritcare



It's time to reprioritize outpatient medicine (subspecialty and otherwise!). Check out our editorial (me + Janae Heath ) on an exciting change to PCCM training Yale School of Medicine: block schedules to improve ambulatory education! ATS Scholar atsjournals.org/doi/full/10.34…


So proud of this episode, I've wanted to cover outpatient O2 for years! Thanks Cyrus Askin, MD, FACP and The Curbsiders team! PS we recorded before Ekström NEJM study--look at show notes for updates (spoiler: no lower hospitalization/death w/ 24 hours of O2 vs 15h of O2 over 1 yr).

Congratulations UC San Francisco Palliative Care and ILD Program whose join effort on a Mixed Methods Study of #PalliativeCare Co-Management for Patients with #ILD was on display at #ICLAF2024 during Dr. Dr. Kathleen Lindell’s excellent talk on patient-centered care 🫁
