Working with BCMHouston students excited to start their clinicals reminds me of 1) how amazing our line of work is and 2) the joy of teaching. What lights your fire and protects you from burning out? #meded

As I begin a career in medicine and primary care, a reminder of what is important at the end of it all

Do the 5 or 6 times I wake up to hand my husband’s ringing phone or pager over to him count towards my duty hours? @TylerLazaro

This weekend I got incredibly excited buying furniture and sitting in my new rocking/reclining chair. Is this what being an adult feels like?

Congratulations to all those who matched and a special welcome to those joining the BCM family!! #Match2020 #BCM

Confused by someone labeled "immunocompromised" and their infection risks? Same. So with guidance of our ID Mentors Prathit Kulkarni, MD, Nico Cortes-Penfield MD FACP FIDSA 🦴💊, & Deeksha J. Ladani, MD - @KatieBedardMD, Charmaine Mutucumarana and I created an Infections in Immunocompromised Hosts Schema

Congrats to our incoming 2021-2022 interns!!! We can't wait to see you in June 💯☺️ #MatchDay2021 bcm.box.com/s/zs5sx382ilvd…

Hard to believe I’m at the end of an amazing, challenging, and incredibly rewarding chief year. Couldn’t have done it without Eva Amenta, Holland Kaplan, Tony McClafferty, Jefferson L Triozzi, MD, MSCI and all the leadership and residents - glad I will always have my BCM IM Residency family ❤️

What a marvelous thread and publication. Read about end-point diagnoses as a cool cognitive forcing strategy in this paper and thread below 👇👇👇 Must read for all of us who love clinical and diagnostic reasoning!

If you know me you know that my favorite question on rounds (and in life) is WHY. Excited to have new MedEd lingo to describe this. MCW IM Chief Residents residents, get ready to hear the phrase "endpoint diagnosis" at noon report & on rounds. I <3 this.

Impressive diagnostic concepts👇 A must-read article for all clinicians and educators! 👏👏 Prathit Kulkarni, MD Holland Kaplan Jacqueline Birnbaum

What a great experience taking this concept from conversations with Holland Kaplan and Prathit Kulkarni, MD at BCM IM Residency Morning Report to publication. Looking forward to learning more about diagnostic reasoning with UTHealth Houston IM Residency and y'all out there on #MedTwitter #MedEd

Had a blast discussing diagnostic reasoning at a great Med-Rad-Path conference with our UTHealth Houston IM Residency residents and the UTHealth Houston Infectious Diseases discussants. Hickam won today’s battle!

It has been an amazing few years as an APD at UTHealth Houston IM Residency and before that at BCM IM Residency. I’ve grateful to have worked with amazing residents and educators, and am sad to leave Houston, but excited for new adventures in Seattle at General Internal Medicine at UW Medicine and UW Medicine Residency!
