My latest @JACRJournal Author Project podcast tackles an important issue at the intersection of #MedEd, #physicianworkforce sustainability, and the future of #healthcare. As we discuss #physician shortages, #accesstocare, and the long-term viability of #medical practice, we cannot talk seriously about the future of #medicine without talking about the cost of entering the profession.

Excellent article by @j_luh and @sandraturner49 in the week leading up to World Radiotherapy Awareness Day (WRAD) on September 7th! #WorldRTDay #WRAD #OneVoiceForRadiotherapy
What if one of the most valuable tools in cancer care is also one of the most misunderstood? Modern #radiationtherapy is safer, more precise, and more versatile than ever—but misconceptions and access barriers still keep too many #patients from benefiting. Honored to join @sandraturner49 in @ACRBulletin exploring why we need to do a better job communicating the value of radiation therapy. What do you think is the biggest #misconception about radiation therapy today? #RadiationOncology #CancerCare #MedTwitter #radonc @ASTRO_org @ESTRO_RT @RadiologyACR @ACRCARROS1986 @SimonLo21054188 acr.org/Clinical-Resources/P…

As #AI and #digitalhealth tools become integrated into #medicine, some of the most important diagnostic tools require no software, algorithm, or screen. The #physicalexam remains a cornerstone of #patientcare. The PE builds trust and uncovers nuances that no AI model or #digitalplatform can do. Technology cannot replace the human connection, judgment, and bedside skills that define the practice of #medicine. My latest @doximity #OpMed article explores why the physical exam still matters—and why preserving these skills is essential as #healthcare continues to evolve. #radonc @familydocwonk @StanfordMed25 @eozdalga @OslerResidency @WilliamAird4 @Bedsidemedicine @DOCSEducators @tony_breu doximity.com/articles/7b4c53…

We’ve learned to ask about the social determinants of health, #SDOH—but what about the #socialdeterminants of productivity? #SDOP How do #staffing, administrative burden, #EHRs, workflow, autonomy, technology, and culture shape clinicians’ ability to care for patients? We measure #productivity constantly, but do we understand and fix what drives it? In my latest @doximity article, I take a brief look at an overlooked issue in #healthcare #radonc #childcare #FMLA opmed.doximity.com/articles/…

Highly practical ESTRO guidelines. Re-RT for locally recurrent rectal cancer should no longer be the "exception." W thoughtful planning, re-RT (often 30–40 Gy BID, w SBRT in select cases) can safely 1) improve resectability, 2) definitively tx or 3) palliate symptoms. @OncoAlert

#CURiEAlert 🩺 Small-cell carcinoma of the bladder is rare and aggressive, often spreading early and carrying a poor prognosis. A new CURiE case report follows an 82-year-old patient whose treatment became increasingly complex after a necrotizing perineal infection, multiple surgeries and a prolonged delay in therapy. During his recovery, clinicians then discovered a second malignancy: a very high-risk prostate adenocarcinoma. Read “Small-Cell Carcinoma of the Bladder With Concurrent High-Grade Prostate Cancer: A Case Report and Review of the Literature” by ACRO members Dr. Veronia Fahmy and Dr. James S. Welsh, with colleagues Dr. Anna Huynh and Dr. Alec M. Block: cureus.com/articles/502342-s…
