1 week left in my home state of over 30 years. It all feels so bittersweet. I’m excited for this next phase of training and to be the triple board certified physician I dreamt of being. But it’s also leaving behind a support system, the known, and the comfort of home. #Residency #MedSky

I wonder if the lawyers feel the same about this as most physicians do about ChatGPT medical advice. Even if it is right most of the time, the times it is wrong can be exceedingly dangerous.

Who is up on Student Loan stuff? For some reason all my med school loans were flagged as not eligible for IDR unless I consolidated them. So fine, I'm happy to consolidate and have just the one loan to track and it is still eligible for PSLF and IDR... but then when I complete the consolidation form

I am officially Dr. Amy! MD acquired! Next stop - moving halfway across the country for residency. If you would like to help support me, help with the costs of moving (Thanks, Trump, for the gas prices) and help warm my new home, I have a registry: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

I am loving this Dev Peds rotation… Though it is making me wonder if I should push for formal ASD assessment for myself. I am not sure if it would make a big difference in my life and might limit my ability to practice abroad later…. But it also feels like it would be nice to know.

I certified my rank list today. I am still waiting on a few bits of information re: benefits that I have not yet heard back about so I might flip flop a couple programs based on that. And I may or may not decide to add a few programs (though it would mean paying extra). But I am happy with my list.

Foster youth are at especially high risk for polypharmacy and medicating normal behaviors. Anecdotally, I also see kids in care get medications in lieu of more proven therapy like T-CBT. Medical homes for foster care with integrated MH professionals are helpful. imprintnews.org/top-stories/...

We need more child psych beds, but we can't have them without staffing them. For that we need to train more child and adolescent psychiatrists. More CAP track and Triple Board residency spots should be funded. And we should consider shortened pathways like 4 yr CAP track. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

The woman killed by ICE was Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old who was the mother of a 4-year old child whose father already died a few years ago. The Star Tribune talked to her mother. www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...
“Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” she said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.”

As a residency applicant I really appreciate when programs acknowledge the political climate we are entering as trainee. Pretending it isn’t an issue or that it shouldn’t impact my rank list is silly. Of course it impacts me and it impacts my patients and knowing a program will fight for us matters.
