This is the best one yet. Hands down. Because itโ€™s funny. And also true. So true it actually makes me really very angry. Still funny though. #wellness #wellbeing #Resilience #medtwitter #burnout #mentalhealth #MentalHealthMatters Dr. Glaucomflecken

โฆGeisel School of Medicine at Dartmouthโฉ regardless of student actions, your approach to this issue shows how little #meded cares about students. Much of this stems from a lack of transparency and misaligned incentives for deans/admins nytimes.com/2021/05/09/tecโ€ฆ

This sentiment - that med school requires you to block out all other parts of your life - came up so much in our research. It is both unfair and unrealistic

Another finding of our research - that subjective evaluations which are critical for success in #match cause severe distress for students - that #MedEd leaders have the power to change but continue to ignore

The irony here is so great. Healthcare trainees are worked 80+ hrs/week consistently for years. Wonder what the increased risk of morbidity/mortality is for us...

Absolutely groundbreaking work on clerkship evaluations for med students showing that the option of honors grades harm students

This one goes out to everyone at #MedTwitter โ€ฆespecially interns whoโ€™ve been busting their butts & giving patients so much love & attention these first few weeks ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿฝ

Couldnโ€™t agree more - the incentive systems throughout medical education are so dysfunctional. We should be uplifting the best teachers, mentors, and compassionate carers rather than those who focus on pumping out papers and increasing RVUs

Thereโ€™s been a lot of union busting going on Stanford Health Care since we residents & fellows went public about our unionization efforts & it feels great knowing weโ€™re not the only HCW union out there. Iโ€™m feeling like itโ€™s time for a #MedTwitter #union #UnionsForAll roll call โœจ๐Ÿ“ฃ

I donโ€™t usually brag about our residency program, but today Iโ€™m gonna make an exception. Like other childrenโ€™s hospitals, weโ€™re managing a surge in respiratory illness. But unlike most hospitals, weโ€™re gonna pay the residents who work extra overnight/weekend shifts $100/hour.

Good morning. McDonaldโ€™s is hiring and offering $18-21/hr starting pay. As a first year cardiology fellow with 4 years experience saving livesโ€ฆ I donโ€™t make McDonaldโ€™s starting pay ๐Ÿ™ƒ
