Very proud of our work at @NSLIJ_EM in @AnnalsofEM More clinicians are questioning the need for every 2 min pause of compressions in non shockable rhythm cardiac arrest. But how to know when to stop? ‼️ Femoral Doppler waveforms during chest compressions are 89% accurate‼️
Can Doppler ultrasound waveforms during CPR help predict return of arterial pulsatility? A new Annals of Emergency Medicine study suggests they can — with strong diagnostic accuracy. Read more in Annals of EM. https://t.co/4aam93e1Eg

Emergency Medicine means loving a job that destroys circadian rhythms. The only way I survive nights & flips is with strict sleep hygiene rituals. Here’s what works for me 🧵

PGY1s: If you tried to enroll in the SAVE IDR plan after medical school and are stuck in "SAVE Limbo" these months could be costing you $1,000s/month if you're pursuing PSLF. You should strongly consider submitting a new IDR application for New IBR (ideal) or PAYE.
Are you in training 🥼 and wondering if you should leave “SAVE Limbo” and switch to a different IDR plan like PAYE or “New” IBR? 👇Here are some thoughts. More in the comments.

There is nothing wrong with having a growth mindset. However, you can’t be so focused on what the future holds that you ignore the here and now. You can appreciate current blessings and strive for a better tomorrow. A dose of mindfulness and gratitude can help you find the

@VivPaps No… this time does NOT count towards PSLF unfortunately. (At least as of today... Things change daily. There is something called the PSLF Buyback once you get to 120 months… but that remains in flux as well.)
🎓 Student Loans: "SAVE Limbo" Forbearance ☁️Interest-Free Forbearance (On SAVE Plan): • No interest accrues • Does not count toward forgiveness ☁️General Forbearance (NOT on SAVE, SAVE Application Pending): • Interest accrues • Does not count toward forgiveness Note: If

PGY1s: IDR applications are now open, but servicers are still not processing them... Still, if you attempted to enroll in SAVE after graduating from medical school, you will likely benefit from submitting a new IDR application for NEW IBR (ideal) or PAYE. To do so, log in to

Student Loan Repayment Plans are now active again on the https://t.co/z59BMHnAfO website. If you’re not on a repayment plan such as IDR this will be your time to get on one especially if you’re trying to get loan forgiveness through the PSLF.

So proud of this guy! Aymane and I have been friends since our time at Touro together during a MS program, ended up abroad for medical school and are now co-residents! To the IMGs out there, with hard work and perseverence you can get to exactly where you wanna be, keep on going.
@NSLIJ_EM Absolutely stoked to have matched at my #1 EM Residency Program! I’m still trying to process this, 20 year old me could not have believed this moment was possible and here I am living out my wildest dreams! Thank you to God, my family, friends, advocates, and mentors!
