10 suggested action items for physician colleagues suffering under the burden of American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) MOC. #MedTwitter
1. If your institution allows it, stop participating in MOC. Personally, MOC has no value to me.
Thank you Rep. Lizzie Fletcher for your strong support for ASCO and our patients.

Remembering Senator Bob Graham. I served in his office in 1998, he was a kind and decent leader who took time to listen and learn - a meaningful life well lived. I’m on Capitol Hill today for #ASCOAdvocacySummit fighting for cancer patients and research funding.
