I had a tremendous night celebrating our UMKC Pulmonary/Critical Care Fellowship graduates. I’m fortunate to have watched them learn and grow. I would let them take care of my family any day. Congrats, @SalilKulkarniMD and Drs. Brent Frossard and Dushyant Ramakrishnan!
One of the best parts of an ICU week is treating my always fabulous team to a free lunch. It’s the least I can do to thank for them all of their hard work and great care. It was a nice plus to enjoy it outside on a beautiful day! @umkcIM @UMKCmedschool
Big news from BI. I hope other companies follow to make inhalers more accessible.
BREAKING📣 @HCPLiveNews: "Boehringer Ingelheim will be putting a self-imposed $35 per month cap on out-of-pocket costs for eligible patients to obtain items in its portfolio of inhalers." Terrific news for accessible health care! @boehringer

January is Mentorship month. I wanted to extend some thanks to (in no particular order) @hlatham33, @FibroticJayhawk, @drcastillovega, @SahilMPandya, and @scott_matson. I hope one day make the same impact for someone that you all did for me. Thank you so much for all you did!
I’m proud of our graduating fellows Drs. @hamnaahmad93, @KjonesDO, and Mostafa Aboubakr for passing critical care boards! Very pleased and not at all surprised :)
#chestptd DL should be dead. Eagerly awaiting a trial between video w/ traditional vs hyperangulated geometry.
Going to try sharing a “clinic patient chart review” template/checklist with the fellows. for reviewing patients prior to clinic. It seems to be something fellows find difficult as they’re thrust into subspecialty care after 3 years of primary care. What would you change?
To writers of LOR for residency/fellowship, I get that applicants waive their right to see their letters. What is the purpose of this? Do you show them anyway? Why do we hide saying nice things about people?
@SahilMPandya @gbosslet @nvhstewart @sqsimp
I’m considering handing out a sheet of objectives/expectations at the beginning of the week in the ICU to students/residents. Is this something others are doing? Is this helpful? Annoying? Pretentious?

Oh you’re going to a teaching hospital in July? Well get ready…
for the most compassionate care from extremely empathetic interns along with their vigilant supervising attendings. Hope you like open ended questions and doctors listening to you bc you’re gonna drown in it.
It was my privilege and pleasure to give internal medicine grand rounds today to @umkcIM @UMKCmedschool @UMedpeds over the new GOLD guidelines for COPD management!

The Masters is one of my favorite sporting events, and its 85+ year history brings some great traditions.
So here's a running list of the most interesting facts:
1. Media tickets (badges) have RFID tags inside them so the club knows where each person is at all times.
