It’s time that we in #meded ask ourselves if churning out pubs is educationally beneficial for medical students, or if we can reshape the system to reward a focus on quality rather than quantity

Once residency/fellowship applicants can safely acknowledge their lack of interest in conducting research without torching their job prospects, then we will have entered a new utopia with the perfect balance of physicians, scientists, and physician-scientists. It will be

Thank you Ross Prager for this. Very insightful!!

How did I missed this? Why wasn't this in JAMA or NEJM? Small but very compelling proof of concept Strengths are sham controlled & direct observation of alcohol intake in experimental setting Very promising to test in larger multicenter trial

ICU Facts: In my experience, in any decent size ICU (~15 beds), at any point in time there is at least 1 patient with unequal pupils (anisocoria). People are often freaking out & rush to get a CT brain to rule out intracranial bleeding. Just think hard before reflexively do this

New HTN guidelines after nearly 8 years! Even a tiny 2 mm Hg drop in BP can significantly cut stroke and heart attack risk & mortality. Small changes matter big. #Hypertension #HeartHealth

South Asian individuals have greater CVD event rates and comprise 1 in 4 individuals worldwide. However, in our systematic review of 310 major CVD trials led by Nishu Uppal, only 3% of trial participants are South Asian individuals sciencedirect.com/science/articl… JACC Journals
