DYK that a Twitter "topic" category in Home & Family is.. #Waffles? Yes, please. #SweetDreams #puns #dork Also an option is...Dolls. Mmmm. No. I like to sleep without nightmares, Thank you.

Once you understand the patient's goals/values under the given medical condition, it is our privilege as medical professionals to make a recommendation on how to achieve the goal. Don't just ask patients what they want. That is the abandonment of your professional privilege.

I know this amazing doctor!!! And also jealous I didn't get to hear this presentation on such a critical topic! Melanie S. Sulistio, MD when do we get this?!?!?

We're Up Texas! Texas Medical Association TEXPAC TEX-MED Alliances fight #OUD with access to life-saving treatment! @kfjonespallnp I completely SPAMed our entire UT Southwestern Palliative Care about this just a few hours ago!!! And to spread the word to UT Southwestern Internal Medicine UTSWPM&R UTSW Internal Medicine Chiefs

Dragon dictation doesn't know what to do with Palliative Care... "Not caudally.... CUDDLY." Love getting to see the dogs and cats of Telemed🥰❤️🤗

We have exciting news to share! UT Southwestern palliative medicine Advanced care provider fellowship is scheduled to start in October 2023! #hapc

Today, on #MLKJrDay we celebrate the legacy and achievements of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. His leadership and words have touched the world and have helped to shape a better tomorrow.

Definitely joining in! UT Southwestern Palliative Care

This is such a perfect analogy. Also appreciate the recognition that doctors often "dangle a carrot" that we have to realistic expectation of actually happening, often because it is uncomfortable for us and we "don't want to take away hope."

When #nerd Moms find their people: Summer Camp planning becomes a shared excel spreadsheet with filter fields.

That's a wrap!! VitalTalk primer to goals of care conversations for all 240 graduating UT Southwestern Education medical students. Thanks to our UT Southwestern Palliative Care facilitators, UTSWSimCenter, & UT Southwestern Internal Medicine for making it a reality! Always invigorating to learn and practice with the next generation!

It was an honor to mentor this phenomenal Frisco ISD student who created a patient guide to advocate for relationship-centered #healthcare, ways to promote #healthequity, and a report on #bias language in EHR. bit.ly/3L61xB7 #DEI VitalTalk ACH UT Southwestern Palliative Care

An AMAZING time facilitating Relationship Centered Communication Workshop with Laura Kirk for the UTSW Faculty Wellness Retreat! Energizing to see these skills applied by our Leaders and Division Chiefs and hopeful for the future of UTSW Media Relations.

Be kind to others and to yourself. Kindness is a choice and a conscious effort. At the end of a long day, in the midst of high acuity, or when we are overwhelmed, it is EASY to be mean or dismissive (and to beat ourselves up too). Instead, take a breath and demonstrate grace.

As I return home from a summit focused on relationship centered communication, Juneteenth, and it's relevance, feels particularly renewed.

A great hour for hosting #CoffeeConversations about "Promoting Compassion & Shared Decision Making" with ACH and guest Dr. Maiedha Raza from the UK! Loved seeing people join from all around the world! UT Southwestern Palliative Care UTSW Faculty Wellness @UTSWNews

Amazing talk by Tomoya Akashi on Traditional Chinese Medicine, Orientation Medicine, and the benefits of acupuncture. Definitely got our collective minds running on how our palliative patients could benefit!

Hey #MedTwitter did you know we've never elected a Black doctor as a voting Member of Congress? In an era when anti-DEI initiatives threaten #MedEd do you feel having that voice at the decision-making table is important? I do. #DiversityisStrength 1/3

Grateful to work with so many amazing colleagues UT Southwestern Palliative Care and those who make this work possible! @UTSWNews UT Southwestern Education UT Southwestern Internal Medicine UTSW Simmons Cancer Center VitalTalk bit.ly/3PkdHtF

Loved reading this article on cultivating equanimity in Medicine and healthcare, and what Pitt Med Magazine is doing to support their medical students. ❤️ UTSW Faculty Wellness would love to hear Barry Kerzin for a great visiting speaker?!
