Thank you to The Philadelphia Inquirer for giving us the opportunity to discuss the importance of community health workers both during and after COVID-19. And thank you to Penn LDI for giving me the courage and support to write my first Op-Ed! inquirer.com/health/expert-…

Avoiding "analysis paralysis": there is always room for improvement, but don't let that be a barrier towards action, interventions and change. Inspiring words from Dr. Shaquita Bell's PedsGR on health equity and anti-racism work Shaquita Bell, MD Seattle Children's Children's Hospital

Amazing virtual workshop led by Aaron Misakian about how to talk about gender with your patients. Complete with simulated case based experience with actors. Would love to see this as standard #pedendo curriculum. Children's Hospital

I have come to accept that we will never be as smart as a pancreas, but that shouldn't keep us from trying! #PediatricDiabetes #T1D #InsulinPumps diatribe.org/tech-horizon-w…

2 months into being a Pediatric Endocrine Attending OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital and I can say that we have the best medical assistants and nurses. They care so much about our patients and I couldn't do my job without them.

Insurance company pharmacists are denying growth hormone because we haven't documented "open epiphyses" on bone ages of 8. What a waste of provider and staff time to have to appeal. #pedsendo Novo Nordisk Pfizer Inc.

Can't wait for this to come to market! Hidden insulin pumps that can automatically give you insulin AND it's controlled by your smart phone? I think there will be many happy kids!

Excited to be the newest pediatric endocrinologist joining the THP team OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital. Caring for gender diverse youth as a #pedsendo is a rapidly growing and changing new field with amazing patients, passionate colleagues, and lots of opportunities for learning and research.

Excellent pediatric grand rounds OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital by Dr.alexis topjian from Children's Hospital on *big* changes in PALS. Resuscitation breaths/min doubling from 10 -> 20-30/min. For out of hospital arrests, BVM = advanced airway. Reminding me of my student EMT days @WUSTL

First in person journal club since starting as a #pedsendo attending OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital. Effects of wildfire on peds resp symptoms. Methodology was lacking. But sparked great discussion on environmental justice and importance of pediatricians getting involved in advocacy.
