Associate Professor | PD @MizzouIM | APD @MizzouID | Co-Director ASP | Grateful for the privilege of training future leaders in medicine. Lifelong learner, mentor, and advocate for growth. #MedEd #Leadership #IDsky #MedSky #Gratitude
Just stepped into the greatest job in the world: serving as PD for the Mizzou IM Residency. Today we held our annual PEC. It was candid, constructive, and energizing. We listened, we learned, we vented—and we left with a clear plan to keep moving our program forward. #MizzouMade #MedEd #IDSky

The Pediatrician’s Lament | NEJM
With U.S. politics threatening to erase the gains of science, reduce access to vaccines, and undermine their vast public health benefit, what is a conscientious pediatrician to do?

ACIP says pneumococcal vaccines are now for everyone 50+, redardless of risk-factors. I updated my clinic templates today—because, apparently, 50 is the new 65! 💉 #VaccinesWork #PublicHealth #IDSky @mizzouid.bsky.social

🔬 BALANCE Trial: 7 days of antibiotics for bloodstream infections (sources: UTI, intra-abdominal, respiratory, skin, catheter) is non-inferior to 14 days in 90-day mortality. 💊 Less resistance, fewer side effects, smarter stewardship. Source control critical! #IDSky @mizzouid.bsky.social

One of the best state-of-the-art papers yet. I ❤️ the emphasis on non-antibiotic strategies, and not just throwing antibiotics away without a surgical plan in place. #IDSky
There's still good in this world 🌏 #IDsky 🦋

and by GOOD I mean the CID-STATE-OF-THE-ART REVIEWS

💯 Must-read for General I.D. (if not already done)
