Dear Secretary Kennedy President Donald J. Trump Over 4,000 trainees in a SINGLE YEAR are international graduates on a J1 visa. If a doctor sees 5,000 patients in a year, this is 20 MILLION Americans who have zero replacement. They have MUCH more research and much higher USMLE scores. Thank you for this

Grok Hamad Al-Ibrahim MD, PhD Conrad Fischer Secretary Kennedy President Donald J. Trump No Grok. That is not the story behind it. The story behind it is the immediate suspension the US government has put on issuance of Student and exchange visas temporarily. The doctor is highlighting some of the importance of some student who come to the US through these visas

As a medical professional I think certain jokes are just distasteful.

First day of PGY-1 complete!

I passed step 2, and got a reasonable score for my application. I’m so proud of myself. It’s not a fancy shiny top end score but I’m proud of the work I put in. I studies almost full time at the beach for a month, took care of myself, and really approached the test to learn.

Proud and inspired. Your average is AMAZING ❤️

Calling my mom to ask her to tell me I’m not stupid because the gap between being a good medical student and being a good intern is larger than the Grand Canyon.

Family medicine is such a beautiful speciality! What a blessing and honour to be able to do this work. I am managing diabetes, prenatal care, postpartum care, HIV, peds, OB, and wellness check all in my first week. I’m seeing anything and everything. I love it!

Ify Nweke, MD, MS Love this for you!!!

Love when my attendings say my note is perfect! No changes!

One major issue I have with encouraging students to “do research during med school” to earn a residency spot is that it cheapens what research actually is. It sends the message that research is something you squeeze in between learning physiology, primary care, surgery, and

Me stopping people mid-sentence on a daily basis to teach them how to spell or pronounce my name!

When I was bored I would watch Grey’s to spot medical inaccuracies, and use it to learn what was actually correct.

USMLE Hematology Tip: Factor VII has the shortest half-life of the major clotting factors (~4–6 hours). It’s the first to drop when warfarin is started. That’s why we monitor with PT/INR—only PT captures Factor VII, not PTT. Warfarin → Factor VII falls first → PT/INR goes up.

This is bad news. This is very bad news. The US government has stopped the funding of PubMed, the most comprehensive database of biomedical literature. Why would you do this? This database it literally a matter of life and death.

Only one person understood why I wore pink scrubs today

Yes and yes!!

Why is dental insurance and vision insurance separate from regular health insurance? Are your teeth and eyes not a part of your body?????
