1/Please share this thread on behalf of my physician colleague, Eunice Stallman, who is facing the nightmare of her 9mo daughter, Zoey, being diagnosed with brain cancer several weeks ago. @BlueCrossIdaho has added to their anguish by obstructing access to vital treatment.

Physicians: End the uncompensated administrative burden and extortion of MOC
@PPA_USA is doing the work, and @HPECid has made the commitment to help, will you also make the commitment and donate to #EndMOC?

Do I have this right?
- ABIM requires yearly fees from physicians who are already cert to “maintain certification”
- no evidence that MOC helps pt care
- ABIM will report you as “not certified” if you don’t pay
- hospitals require certification
Idk kinda sounds like extortion
Nope. Not happening until I find out what this gets me , @ABIMFoundation. What are we paying for? I’m certified…I took my boards and passed them.

The FTC's comment period for the proposed "Non-Compete Clause Rule" is an important opportunity to share concerns about its potential impact on patient safety and physician employment practices.
Please consider cosigning our letter to the FTC!

We have till March 20, 2023 to make a comment about non-competes. Please comment fellow colleagues: regulations.gov/docket/FTC-2…

COMMENT NOW, or forever hold your peace: regulations.gov/commenton/FT…
The @ahahospitals is opposing removal of non-compete clauses “on behalf of 270,000 affiliated physicians.” Something tells me they didn’t ask for physician input on this. Feel free to let the AHA know your thoughts. @FTC

this result can not be overstated.
residents were on the verge of a strike and within days, they won 14.5% salary increase and a $10,000 housing stipend.
all we need is courage.

If we give FPA to direct RN to NP or PA after graduation. Why can’t we do that for residents and #unmatched med students? #MedTwitter why aren’t we talking about this?
