As of Canada Day, Canadian medical schools will no longer be accredited alongside US ones. This will protect Canadian universities from US political interference in medical education and enable a nimbler response to homegrown issues. www.cma.ca/latest-stori... via @cmadocs.bsky.social #MedEd

So... if fentanyl gets declared a weapon of mass destruction, what does this mean for people with cancer related pain? ICU procedures? oncologists? palliative care? hospice? These are the questions my husband @granaghan.bsky.social asks me. And I have no answers. #hapc #pallonc #medsky #meded 😳

President #JimmyCarter died today at age 100, having lived w/ #melanoma that had spread to his brain & liver for >9y. I grew up in GA admiring him, so as an oncologist, I’d like to honor his life by teaching a bit. #melsm #MedSky #OncSky #MedEd First, the ⚠️ signs (ABCDE 👇) & some examples: /1

I'm darning a fave pair of jeans. My father taught me to do this- he had been taught by his mother (my gran) and also used the technique as a surgical trainee in the 60s for hernia repair, before the mesh era. See the similarity? (ref- Maingot, 1973 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/d…) #MedEd

Medicine focuses a lot on the question “will this help my patient” but not on the question “when will it help my patient.” The latter becomes important as we age. We’ve developed a “time-to-benefit” tool on eprognosis.ucsf.edu to help answer this question. Here is a snapshot #MedSky #FOAMed #meded
