Happy Pulmonary Rehabilitation week-- the most important yet underused treatment for chronic lung disease!! American Thoracic Society (ATS) Assemblies of American Thoracic Society

Last call (for this upcoming academic year), come join us UC San Francisco as pulmonary faculty! Apply asap before we review applications in January!

Thank you ASHP for recognizing our Pharmacist-Led ILD program as a 2023 Best Practice. This program truly was the culmination of hard work, multidisciplinary collaborations, and strong leadership. I'm proud of our team and the impact we make!

Step 1: Reimburse geriatrics better!

Step 2: Create a flex mid-career training path to board cert in geriatrics (& palliative care)!

“I care for a lot of older adults,” does not mean I’m skilled in geriatrics.

Advanced training is vital. Make it as practical as possible.

We are THRILLED to welcome our AMAZING new James Frank, MD class Drs. Amrita Ayer Alex Beagle CJ Carlton Beth Gay Betty Kifle Trisha Macrae Zach Silver. HAPPY #Match2023 #MatchDay #FellowshipMatchDay to all the outstanding applicants this year & CONGRATS to all!👏🏿🎉🥂🥳🫁♥️🙏🏿

Stepping out of our silos and developing cross-disciplinary clinical and research teams drives progress.

UC San Francisco’s Dr. Angela Suen is doing just that, integrating #ILD #Geriatrics and #PalliativeCare to reimagine our approach to care models. A rising ⭐️

Our #GeriPulm team is hosting an American Thoracic Society (ATS) webinar this afternoon discussing ways to integrate age-friendly care in pulmonary clinic with practical tips to implement a 4M’s Framework that helps people living with serious 🫁 illness as they grow older.

#burnout worse for #primarycare , #WomenInMedicine , and younger docs. This is a crisis that we ignore at our peril! jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

Beyond proud of this episode with my friend and inhaler guru Amber Lanae Martirosov. Special thanks to HRSA GACA for supporting me to think about this important topic the last 4 years. #geripulm #inhalersareconfusing #learnPartD American Geriatrics Society American Thoracic Society (ATS) CMSGov UCSF Health

🤩this makes my WHOLE YEAR Amber Lanae Martirosov

Have they tried just having the existing primary care doctors simply see more patients and increasing administrative burden while continuing to structure training so that the end result is specialization? Might be worth a shot.

Did you know?💡

In the U.S. approximately 10,000 older adults are turning 65 each day, & research has shown that 1 in 8 adults 65 and older has mild cognitive impairment.

Talk to your primary care provider about your cognitive assessment options today.

This is legitimately scary…
What will primary care look like in 20 years?

Woohooo so proud of the work done by this amazing interprofessional team in our #LungHealthCenter clinic! Patient care is a team sport!! 🎉 🫁 💊 💪🏻🧑🏼‍⚕️👨🏻‍⚕️👩🏿‍⚕️ UCSF Health

Don't miss our #geripulm #ATS2023 session on caring for older adults with chronic lung disease TOMORROW bright & early @ 8am!☀️ I'm sad to miss it but have gotten a preview of the talks over the last several months, it is going to be an awesome session! UCSF Geriatrics

Wednesday sessions-last but certainly not least! Great work by Drs. Leah Witt, MD (VERY cool Symposium on #GeriPulm ) Nicholas Kolaitis, MD MAS Kathryn Sullivan Ilana Krumm & Narges Alipanah (FASCINATING stuff on latent class analysis & phenotypes in COVID PNA).

A great wk for James Frank, MD🎉

I became a mom in med school

To anyone being told they have to put their parenting plans on hold until training is done, don’t listen-this decision is for you to make! We need more representation of parents in training, change systems to promote family health & increase support

Wooohoooo to my WIM #squadgoals 🥰🥰 Shreya P. Trivedi MD, MHPE
