Congrats and welcome to the team, all who received their #CaRMSMatch today! 🎉 No matter what happened today, CaRMS does not define you. You may love where you matched, or like me, you may realize it’s not the right path. Wherever your future takes you, I know you’ll develop a career you’ll love.

Our system is strained in every way. It can be hard to see a clear road ahead for health care. In this fraught environment of frustration, dissatisfaction and blame, it is crucial we respect physicians and team colleagues on the front lines. www.albertadoctors.org/news/publica...

The capacity for youth to be fierce advocates for themselves and their communities is one of my favorite things about working with teens #AdolescentMedicine

This new law actually restricts the rights of parents to access medical care for their children.

The UCP has now passed its 3 anti-trans and anti-gay bills. This is a very dark day for Alberta and human rights. It’s sad the courts will have to strike down this discriminatory UCP legislation. Shameful that vulnerable children will needlessly suffer. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

I often think about our unique conflict as physicians. Every rare or complex case is a chance to learn and grow—but behind the diagnosis is someone or family with enduring pain or fear. We’re grateful for the lessons, but can never forget the humanity behind them. #MedSky

It is now indisputable that pregnant women needing emergency care are being allowed to die in states that have banned & criminalized abortion Yet somehow it’s fine to ask 🤰 trainees / faculty to travel to these states for medical conferences or miss out on professional opportunities? #idsky #medsky

I just think it's great that the little NICU babies and I both need a dose of caffeine to keep us from dying.

Trans folks have always been here, will always be here, and we will always be right beside them. Today is Trans Day of Remembrance (TDOR), and we invite you to imagine all the things the R can stand for. Resilience. Respect. Rebellion. Resolve. Trans folks deserve it all.

Today is the 65th anniversary of the UN adoption of the Declaration of the Rights of the Child. The right to medical care, housing,education,nutrition,and the right to a NATIONALITY. How are we faring on #WorldChildren’sDay in affording these rights, esp to those in zones of conflict and #refugees?

Just your regular reminder that ~40% of menstruating adolescents (and likely an even higher proportion of adults) suffer from iron deficiency and yet we don’t universally screen. tinyurl.com/JAMAFe

This study examines prevalence of iron deficiency among females aged 12 to 21 years to inform future screening strategies for iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia.

As a pediatric palliative care doctor, one of the most frustrating things is our society’s continued surprise that children are capable of knowing, processing, and engaging with heartbreakingly complex things. I wish we gave them more permission to do so #PedSky

If you ever feel as a parent that your teens won’t listen to you, this is actually true. My teen once told me I know “nothing about the human body.” (I am literally a doctor that specializes in Pediatrics and Adolescent Health lol).

One of the few violence prevention interventions that has REPEATEDLY been shown to work = youth mentorship programming. If you want to help combat violence, get involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters, 4H, or the like! And encourage your local government to support them too.

“Youth are far more receptive to guidance when they feel that their beliefs are acknowledged and respected. With this approach, we can help prevent the spread of misinformation and restore a sense of agency and partnership.” @healthydebate.bsky.social healthydebate.ca/2024/11/topi...

We must tackle misinformation. Our youth’s health depends on it - Healthy Debate

It's time to treat misinformation as the public health crisis it truly is, particularly among youth in marginalized Black, Indigenous and People of Colour communities.
