Looks like I signed up for the MassGeneral Medicine “FLARE” listserv just in time. Thoughtful and comprehensive review of the key themes related to #HealthEquity and #COVID19. And another reminder of how journalists have truly led the discussion in this space. cc @VBKerry Bryn Falahee, MD

#Fridaythoughts Overly idealistic, yes, but playing with what's possible, and shouldn't just be idealism.

Turned blind eyes, we know it's happening, this article spells it out. A MUST read! "In this struggling black city so acquainted with abandonment, how to continue handling the pandemic was still a great unknown." washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/…

“We are more comfortable talking about the social determinants of health for marginalized people, collectively, rather than discussing how we disenfranchise the patient under our care.” It’s time to fully commit to anti-racism and equity. wbur.org/cognoscenti/20…

Morning run in #Michigan: deer 🦌-1, Biden signs- 7, Trump signs- 4. Caveat- not a rural sample. Shopping list: salt lick- 1.

Overjoyed to join the Brigham and Women's Medicine Residents family! I’m continually inspired by the commitment to health equity long exemplified by so many of the faculty, residents, and alumni. Honored to be given the opportunity to join this incredible group of people working for health justice!

Today is about those who were with me on this journey, who taught me more than I could have imagined in 5yrs, my Boston community, my family, friends, colleagues, mentors, & patients. I cannot wait to jump into 3 more years of service to my patients & community at Brigham and Women's Medicine Residents.

In JGIM Journal of General Internal Medicine, @VBKerry and I explore why it is imperative to embrace social engagement in academic medicine, ongoing challenges, & how to move forward: rdcu.be/cxA4i #engagedscholarship Brigham and Women's Medicine Residents MassGeneral Medicine Brigham and Women's Hospital Harvard Medical School
