Dismissing value of
@Twitter
out of hand is to miss the opportunities for other types of engagement and learning. Scan journals. Follow people w interesting perspectives. Comment on new data. Promote interesting work.
Yes because there are no other venues of medical communication that are hard to tell if the opinion is informed or biased. Twitter has the same issues as any forum. To dismiss it is not to realize it potential to enlighten and prove insight into the views of others. Quickly.

Author's views are racist and not consistent with my values nor AHA. Investigation is underway into how it made it through the editorial process. Like you, I want to know what happened. I am angry, frustrated and disappointed that this piece was published; expect review soon.
Dr. Harrington, I know you care VERY much about D&I. (Like you actually care) I’ve heard from many how cardio initiatives are growing stronger for D&I. And attempts to be anti-racist in all ways. The paper was racist.
Will it be retracted?

I get asked this frequently. Do a residency. Medical school doesn’t make you a doctor, residency does. You need the experience of seeing patients but also the increasing levels of independence in clinical decision making. Will make you much better at tech role.
I've been asking chief medical officers this q. all week.
If you're out of medical school and interested in working in digital health on the clinical side, is it worth doing residency? Got some interesting feedback that I'll collect & share. Anyone got strong opinions?
