Started my day physically in Chicago and my heart and soul were with Dr. Kerri Palamara presenting about well-being, coaching, and MGH DOM - Center for Physician Well-Being

I had a great time co-facilitating this research works-in-progress session today at #appdspring24 with other members of the research and scholarship learning community.

Sessions like this are a wonderful way to crowdsource input and benefit everyone involved.

Can’t wait to participate in this amazing workshop led by my awesome MassGeneralChildren colleagues APPD #appdspring24

The inimitable Dr. Bob Vinci presenting about the Pediatric Workforce at #appdspring24

Keith Ponitz calling out the importance of practicing #Vulnerbility to start day 2 of #APPDspring2024 APPD

There is a looming crisis in pediatrics. Fixing the gap in pay between pediatric and adult providers is an important step.

We are strained ->

I’m overwhelmed by the amount of outreach I’ve received about this article.

When my husband asked why I continue to write, I said it’s so that I (WE) feel a little less alone.

I hope you feel seen.

You are good enough.

We all, women and men alike, have “a responsibility to be more authentic and vulnerable as we help to shape the next generation of physicians”. Thank you Lauren Rissman for the #vulnerability you model so well in this essay and in many other ways. We are all human

I tweeted that my daughter got her COVID vaccine because it was the right choice. The surprising thing is that most anti-vaxxers I suspect would describe themselves as pro- 'parental choice.' Well maximal vaccination is my parental choice and they should respect it.

This is truly very troubling. “close to 30% of pediatric residency programs did not fill their residency positions, with the total # of graduates applying to peds ⬇️ by 6.1% over last year”. The future of our profession & the health of our children is in danger.

Last week I got my flute out again,
