Robert Cox+FollowMed Schools Get a Nutrition Wake-Up CallRFK Jr. just dropped a bomb on med schools: they’ve got less than two weeks to add real nutrition classes or risk losing federal funding. Apparently, most future doctors barely learn about food and health, even though it’s key to fighting diseases like diabetes and heart problems. The push is part of his plan to make America healthier by focusing on prevention, not just treatment. Could this finally change how doctors talk about food? #Education #NutritionMatters #MedicalEducation30Share
Michelle Arnold+FollowHopkinton’s big win for future doctorsA $1.6 million NIH grant just landed in Hopkinton, thanks to Dr. Steve Borkan, a local resident and BU professor. This funding will directly support medical students in a unique M.D./Ph.D. program, helping them become the rare clinician-scientists who both treat patients and drive research. With science careers getting tougher to pursue, this grant means more bright minds can stay on track—right here in our community. How do you think supporting future doctors and researchers could shape Hopkinton and beyond? #Education #Hopkinton #MedicalEducation00Share
Russell Cooke+FollowResidency or Just a Never-Ending Audition?Imagine grinding through three years of pediatric residency—overnights, codes, admits, the whole deal—only to be told you need two more years of fellowship just to do the job you’ve already been trained for. Nothing’s changed about the work, just the rules. It’s not about better care; it’s about gatekeeping and control. Feels less like education, more like a protection racket. When does the training treadmill end? #MedTwitter #ResidencyLife #PhysicianBurnout #MedicalEducation #HealthcareDebate #JobCareer30Share
Jason Weaver+FollowWait, Your Anesthesia Could Mess With Birth Control?Just found out that a ton of anesthesia providers don’t really know how certain meds (like sugammadex and aprepitant) can mess with hormonal birth control—and most aren’t talking to patients about it! Even though almost everyone agrees these interactions should be discussed, the convo rarely happens. The kicker? Many providers say they barely learned about this in training. This gap could mean more surprise pregnancies after surgery. Time for better education and real talk at the hospital! #HealthNews #BirthControl #Anesthesia #PatientSafety #MedicalEducation #Health80Share
