I’m a rheumatologist, allergist, and immunologist interested in medical education and health systems research.
Great questions from the crowd!

Good Morning and Happy Monday! This week’s huddle focuses on the joy of practice.

Every month, we have our Hands On Clinical Instruction (HOC-I) rounds - it’s a great venue to share our sense of joy and discovery!

We just completed our Wednesday afternoon Hands On Clinical Investigation (HOC-I) Rounds —

It was a fun time where we reinforced our musculoskeletal physical exam skills and practiced the finer aspects of ultrasonography at the bedside.

Welcome back to week 5 of the University of Iowa Rheumatology Fellowship Huddle?

Nope, that’s not a typo - as we round out the first month of the academic year, we’re discussing the importance of asking good questions within our program culture.

What questions do you guys have?

Hocus POCUS! 🪄 ✨

Welcome back to Week 3 of the University of Iowa #Rheumatology #Fellowship Huddle! Last week, we started up our summer workshop series for MSK #Ultrasound and our new fellows are off scanning (under staff supervision) and learning in clinic. Fun times!

Love Ultrasound? We do too!
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

We start teaching ultrasound early so that our fellows can get the most out of every opportunity to practice.

Our coloring books supplement weekly sessions that focus on integrating ultrasound with physical exam.

Fun times ahead!

Iowa Rheum Fellows published 32‼️ peer-reviewed manuscripts over the past 5 years… and that doesn’t even count conference abstracts, commentaries, etc

Our mentorship panels help provide a balance between autonomy and support so that they can thrive during their time here!
