TFOC was my favorite learning resource as a first year fellow and it just keeps getting better. I’m grateful and proud to be a part of the team and contribute to a project that I’ve benefited so much from. I’m thrilled to help it grow even more!
With the start of a new academic year, we just want to take a moment to congratulate some of the amazing #TFOC team members on their recent graduations from residency and fellowship! So excited to see what the future holds🎓

Proud to be part of the @TheFellowOnCall team that organized this trial. More evidence that the podcast is one of the very best learning resources out there!

#JCOPO study demonstrates that Pembrolizumab leads to a durable response in an ultra-hypermutated, high-grade, #glioma with complete radiological response that was sustained for more than 2 years. ➡️ brnw.ch/21wHu49 @Dan_Mundt #btsm
This is a really great episode - hearing about what it’s like for a physician to get a cancer diagnosis and go through the treatment process was really informative and something I’ll keep in mind going forward for all of my patients
Released this morning is one of our most important, impactful episodes to-date!
This week, we feature the patient's perspective from dx to tx for her breast cancer! As a young physician herself, she highlights this difficult journey and how she got through it.

It's fitting that with the start of the new academic year, we introduce our newest @TheFellowOnCall Team Members! This incredible group of residents & H/O fellows from across the country share in our passion for #MedEd. We could not be more proud & excited to welcome them aboard!
This is a fascinating thread & meta analysis. Great work by @jryckman3 and colleagues
Is there a role for Local Tx of the Primary Tumor for Patients with Metastatic Cancer?
🚫Many studies demonstrate no benefit.
📌We performed a MetaAnalysis to evaluate the average effect of Local Tx across various tumors.

Any interesting trials about type, dose or route of diuretics for acute decompensated heart failure (other than DOSE)? TRANSFORM-HF should be interesting whenever they have preliminary data. @mvaduganathan @RBPatelMD
More evidence that we should avoid leaving IVC filters in place for long - and the longer we wait, the harder they are to retrieve.

Nice tweetorial on SGLT2 inhibitors (gliflozins), which are proving to be excellent HF drugs (HFpEF included) not to mention CKD. Perhaps DM2 without comorbidities will prove be its weakest indication…

Why does chronic alcohol use cause macrocytosis?
Alcohol's ability to enlarge red blood cells (RBCs) has puzzled me ever since I learned about this association, but assumed it somehow poisons the bone marrow.
The answer is not so simple.

A tribute to my mentor and friend Dr. Fisseha Ibsa, who passed away yesterday. A paragon of compassion, not only to his primary care patients but his colleagues and residents as well (I was lucky to be both), he was an integral part of @AuroraIMRes and will be remembered fondly.
Greta question for IM residents!
