Honored to be the first of hopefully many future Texas GCs to be recognized!

I’m the chair for Hannah’s committee and am excited for her to share data about video exome consents which could save GCs much needed time. Tune in Wednesday! #gcchat

I’m proud of how this came together! Understanding prior authorization trends and outcomes can help us improve patient access to genetic testing in outpatient clinics.

Many across the #Houston area are without power.🚨We encourage everyone to #Stayathome and off the roads‼️ ➡️Please stay clear of downed power lines! #TSNicholas #weatheraware #StaySafe

In grad school, Sarah Huguenard and I said all we want is to be a GC like Pilar one day and this is one of many reasons why! I’m thankful every day to have such an amazing mentor, leader, and friend. ❤️

I now think about Caiqian & this report every time I’m asked to volunteer for a professional activity. I’m already doing a better job discerning which volunteer activities align & contribute to my goals & am setting boundaries to value my worth. Read the whole🧵 and report!

Always happy to share my knowledge to increase access to genetic testing! Recording will be available for CME and check out their other programming and webinars - they have excellent resources!

Clinicians and GCs like me spend a lot of time considering how payer coverage will affect access to genetic testing. I’m glad to share this work completed with other pedi clinics in Texas to continue this conversation!

Flattered to receive editor’s choice! This conversation remains so important and should be had at every state and federal level. Catch me at ACMG meeting next week to keep talking! Hadley Stevens Smith Rachel Franciskovich

We often think about cascade testing in hereditary cancer, but what about broader populations with pediatric patients as probands? As ES/GS is used more regularly, we need to consider how to facilitate appropriate cascade testing uptake. I loved working with Julie on this!

Join us Tues. Jan. 30 for Evenings with Genetics with Haley Streff We will discuss how and when to refer to pediatric or adult #genetics, what happens during an evaluation, recommendations for managing care & the basics of genetic testing. To register✏️ bit.ly/ewg013024

Payer coverage and policy of genetic tests is a complex subject, but check out this blog I wrote to gain an introduction to challenges and potential solutions.

Honored to be invited and discuss the nuances of inpatient genetic testing stewardship. Thank you The PLUGS Program!

Thought I was going for a run, but it somehow ended up as a mud/puddle jumping expedition #houstonfloods instagram.com/p/3OekNDiqP8/

Whoever thinks Iowa is flat is wrong. The Urbandale, Iowa 4th of July 5k is proof it's not.

But what’s in the plastic bag that Javier Bracamontes is holding on the stage at the Houston Astros World Series rally??
