Hi #medtwitter & #dermtwitter! I’m an M4 from Penn Medicine applying into derm #Match2024! Passionate about: health equity, planetary health, & the relationship between our environment & skin, plus LGBTQ+ & refugee healthcare. Excited to make new friends along this road!

Cool paper highlighting (1) the simultaneous societal, environmental, and health benefits of urban green space; and (2) how academic medical centers can function as leaders in expanding these spaces and their benefits to more people in their communities. Great work!

Congratulations Junko Takeshita MD PhD MSCE on this tremendous initiative, examining environmental influences on atopic dermatitis disparities. What an absolute dream team!!

It’s surreal to submit on ERAS and see my first JAMA Surgery paper published all in the same day. To complete the trifecta, Hi #MedTwitter 👋🏾 My name is Adora and I’m an MS4 Penn Medicine applying into #GenSurg for the #Match2024 So excited to connect with mentors & colleagues!

Thrilled to share lessons learned implementing healthcare sustainability QI work here at Penn. I hope this guide serves as a resource for folks leading similar efforts at their institutions. Every bit helps! Thanks to the BMJ for sharing our work! doi.org/10.1136/bmj.p2…

Tomorrow is the day! So excited to be leading the introductions on the incredible talks on vulnerable populations.

Gender-affirming care spans all medical specialties, and should be part of training and practice for dermatologists. This study evaluated effectiveness, safety, and treatment barriers to isotretinoin therapy for transmasc patients on T. Thank you to this amazing team!
