For those who matched & will match, in about a week you'll start to get info about on-boarding. Part of that will be registering for your NPI number. Do NOT use your personal address or phone number. #matchday2023 1/3

I think what’s often slept on in FM is that we are constantly asking: how does this evidence apply to peds populations is this med safe in lactation and pregnancy how can the study be applied to my underserved pt population You practice differently if you’re trained broadly.

I started low dose T two months ago. It’s been weird and wonderful, and I also feel so privileged. Everyone should have access to gender affirming meds and freedom to explore their gender. Plus this velvet suit brought me gender euphoria. #TransDayOfVisibility 😊🏳️‍⚧️

This is my dear friend, Nakita. Nakita and I were medical school classmates and both interns in New York City. Nakita tragically took her own life on May 26. She is such a beautiful soul. She was so fun to be around. She was intelligent, charismatic, and confident. (1/x)

Israel just bombed the Baptist Hospital killing 500 Palestinians (doctors, children, patients) just like that. President Donald J. Trump this is what happens when you refuse to facilitate a ceasefire & help de-escalate. Your war and destruction only approach has opened my eyes and many

I am one of very few Jewish students at Balboa High School. I’m sure many of you have seen the viral videos of a pro-Palestine walkout at my school. One in particular has been viewed nearly 17 million times. 1/11

This post is getting some attention from a few TERFs, but it’s a great reminder of how much I’ve learned and how far I’ve come. And that as an FM doc, I’m proud to do OB and repro health for everyone, including trans and nonbinary people 😊
