Just attended Grand Rounds for @UclaPsychRes , and I really enjoyed listening to @Lorenzo__Leggio explain how research on GLP-1 and the gut-brain connection may lead to new treatments for addiction. A quick 🧵 for those interested!

My advice to the new interns starting work tomorrow is to show up as your authentic self each day. The medical knowledge will come with training and experience. It’ll be difficult and exhausting. Stay true to who you are and hold on to your “why” as you grow and evolve.

AMEC in NOLA was definitely one for the books! Spent the weekend catching up with old friends, eating good, and pouring into the next wave of Black physicians. Can’t wait to run it back next year. #AMEC2024 #MedTwitter

For students who don’t get good news today, this is not the end of the road. It doesn’t define your worth. Your story is still being written, so keep striving! I’m proud of everyone who’s gotten to this point despite all the obstacles.

Yesterday @TianaWoolridge and I hosted a wellness and healing event for Black athletes at UCLA. We discussed the importance of mindfulness, centering joy, and community building. Excited to do more work at the intersection of sports and mental health!

Check out this opinion piece written by one of our faculty members @UclaPsychRes. Dr. Burns brings up great points about the increasing difficulty of distinguishing between delusions and reality in our current digital world.

The economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic took a toll on many Californians' mental health. This National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, we look at a recent @UCLAchpr study that revealed that racial and ethnic groups were disproportionately affected. #NMMHM ⬇️🧵
