And to clarify for anyone reading this: MTHFR polymorphisms are not risk factors for arterial or venous thrombosis and therefore should not be part of thrombophilia testing. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/rt…

There’s no wrong time or place to remind people that it’s time to stop seeing ourselves as having one complete human genome reference! One genome sequence can’t possibly represent everyone’s diversity.

The best thing about hematology is that you can say thank you for this interesting consult and mean it almost every single time.

I hate when student evals say a student was quiet. Maybe some students are introverts and that’s okay. Or are you creating an atmosphere that makes them uncomfortable to speak up? Regardless, I don’t think it belongs in the evaluation. Love to hear thoughts of other #MedEd folks.
