Great thread for anyone new to BlueSky.
Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.

💯this post! I let my NP students know that no matter what specialty they pick, the Palliative Care education they receive, during their rotation, will impact their practice in the future. So many resources out there to continue to hone their skills. #palliativecare

don’t need fellowship level training to practice primary pall care; lots of options to enhance skill set
