PGY-5 Radonc Resident at Duke | MD, MS | Meded | Brachytherapy | Clinical Trials | Posts my own, not medical advice #medsky #oncsky #radoncsky 🧪
Back again this month for #AYACSM! I’m a radonc resident in my final year of training at Duke. Unfortunately, I often see many young adults in our clinics—are people better at reporting symptoms, doctors better at work up, testing improving, or is incidence of cancer increasing? All of the above?

Ok, #medsky #lawsky #policysky, so if this is the data, then what do we need to do to make this better?

Is X in trouble financially? No judgement please but I’m still on X because that’s where most of the radonc and medonc community is still.
Every time I interact with that platform, I get so many pop ups asking if I wanted to get verified and “boost” my comments #medsky #meded #radonc

So thankful for @fumikochino.bsky.social who really kicked off my career in radonc. I was a med student from Indiana who knew she was interested in research but didn’t know where to start. Thanks to her, I’m at Duke radonc, doing meded, and thriving!! #radonc #medsky #mentorship #cansky
Excited to share news of my promotion to Associate Prof in #RadOnc. I have been blessed as junior faculty with both senior & peer mentors who have given me opportunities, feedback, encouragement, & support over the past 6 yrs. Excited to see what the future holds @mdanderson.bsky.social

Really great, thoughtful article about learning in medicine! Anki is a wonderful tool: I used it heavily in medical school. But it really can numb you to the learning experience. The burden of learning a bunch of facts for the sake of board exams can stunt your curiosity at some point #meded #medsky
Thinking about how you study at med school? The buzz word at the moment is anki. But is it all it’s cracked up to be?

Anki’s not a villain. But it’s also not a miracle and definitely not a short cut.

To Anki or not to Anki: Why flashcards aren’t the whole story in medical education
You’ve probably heard it already today—someone swearing by their Anki deck, proudly announcing they’re “only 600 cards behind.” Flashcards ...

Thanks so much to @ekdrake.bsky.social for hosting #AYACSM. It reminded me of MedTwitter! It's been a struggle to recruit to Bluesky but I absolutely love the base that's already here. High quality over quantity: that's what we're missing in social media today #cansky #oncsky #medsky #radonc 🧪
That's awesome! I've also been trying to get more trainees on Bluesky. Common feedback is "I have too many social media apps to check" "Twitter/X has a larger physician base." This is all true, but the heyday of Twitter/X is honestly over. All of #radonc is still sadly on X

Medsky! When you were studying for tests/board exams, what kinds of resources did you find most useful?
Doesn’t matter how long ago you took your tests—I’m curious!
What do you think was the most important thing that helped you learn/pass?

The 4-valent and 9-valent HPV vaccines essentially eliminated HPV 16/18 in Denmark: “prevalence of [HPV16/18] in the samples decreased to < 1% in 2021 from 15–17% before vaccination

Similar to below: I really don’t like labeling cancers as good or bad. It can minimize the experience that someone is having.
It’s fantastic if a “good” cancer has multiple treatments and is very curable. I never compare patient experiences. Everyone has their own unique journey. #oncsky #medsky

PSA:
There is a no cancer that is the “good” kind. Mind you there are levels to cancer. Some less aggressive, etc. There is however, no “good” kind. #Cansky

Using the guise of making America healthy again when in fact you’re just rolling back protections for our most vulnerable communities….
What does he have to gain from this? #cansky #medsky 🧪
What does he have to gain from this? #cansky #medsky 🧪
Robert F. Kennedy Jr has said that his purpose in life is to fix the country’s health woes, Nicholas Florko writes: “But yesterday, Kennedy cheered a move that is all but guaranteed to make America less healthy.”
The Opposite of the MAHA Agenda
Congress is moving forward with cuts to Medicaid that would worsen the country’s health woes. Why isn’t RFK Jr. furious?

Watching this government deal with budgets is akin to:
1. private equity buys a hospital, squeezes it for all of its resources (leaving people without healthcare)
2. Then enriching themselves with the profit (no matter the human cost)

I love this patient perspective!! Lots to think about as this spinny machine goes around you with lights and machine sounds
This is how I coped with radiotherapy: I gave silly names to each part of the machine.
My dream is that all radiotherapy machines are named according to Gullen protocols.
