Latinx are 18.4% of the general population in the US; Representation on medical schools 12% allopathic medical students and 5-6% osteopathic; On faculty 4-5%. We need representation! Latinos ❤️

Today we celebrate the Class of 2026 - 40 specialist doctors ready to serve patients across the nation 🇺🇸 with dedication, compassion, and excellence! Residency teaches you that you can function on very little sleep, survive on snacks from your white coat, answer pages at 3 AM, keep showing up exhausted, and still make life-saving decisions when your patients need you most. Graduation day!! We made it!! 🥳 Now we are full specialists!! Mazel tov. Mashallah. Congratulations. Felicidades! After more than six years of residency training research — from research at Cedars-Sinai, to OB/GYN residency at Lincoln Hospital, to Internal Medicine at Brookdale, I am grateful for every step of this journey. To my co-residents, mentors, attendings, nurses, staff, friends, family, @ProjectImg community, and everyone who supported us along the way: thank you!!! To my mother, brother, and sister — thank you for being here today. I wish my grandmother could be here too, but she is coming back from Argentina 🇦🇷 soon and we will celebrate together. A special thank you to my Program Director, Dr. Fischer @SeeFisch for your guidance and support. We did not get here alone. We made it together. Congratulations to the Class of 2026. The next chapter begins now. 🩺✨ Ready to start my next journey at The National Institutes of Health @NIH in Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism!

Awesome paper @ibdgijami ! My two cents on Socratic Method & questioning is —> how you experience it can impact can you feel about the method or how successful it is. Learners value questioning when it: • Helps them think through a problem • Feels guided, not performative • Happens in a psychologically safe space They disengage when it: • Feels like a test instead of teaching • Exposes gaps without support • Creates pressure rather than clarity Faculty often believe they are teaching. Learners sometimes experience it as evaluation. That gap matters. In procedural fields like GI, questioning happens in real time. In front of teams. During high-stakes moments. How we ask matters just as much as what we ask. A simple shift: • Start with where the learner is • Build the next step, not the trap • Make thinking visible, not mistakes The goal is not to catch learners off guard. It is to build how they think. Curious to know what educators in this space think!

𝗔𝗻𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗙𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺 𝗗𝗲𝗯𝘂𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱: If I had a penny for every time I’ve had to debunk these same false claims, I’d be a millionaire by now. Let’s get the facts straight. J-1 physicians transitioning to H-1B status through programs like the Conrad 30 Waiver Program are not exploiting a loophole, they are fulfilling a legally structured, highly regulated pathway designed to serve the American public. These physicians commit to three years of full-time service in federally designated underserved areas, places where healthcare systems have already failed to recruit U.S. graduates. Approval is not automatic, facilities must prove a genuine shortage before a waiver is granted. This is not about bypassing the system. This is the system working exactly as intended, to ensure millions of Americans in rural and high-need communities actually have access to care. Misinformation doesn’t change facts. It only highlights a lack of understanding of how the U.S. healthcare system truly operates. uscis.gov/working-in-the-uni… #Match2026 #Matchday #MedX #MedTwitter #h1bvisa #USMLE
