Did you know?💡 In the U.S. approximately 10,000 older adults are turning 65 each day, & research has shown that 1 in 8 adults 65 and older has mild cognitive impairment. Talk to your primary care provider about your cognitive assessment options today. 🧠#DementiaCare

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 ⭐️

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).

Are they sensitive or are they aware? There’s a difference and we will recruit no one into this field if we don’t change the culture for the better. I maybe wrote an entire book on this…if you are interested: amazon.com/gp/aw/d/198219…
