New guidelines from @CDCgov for fully vaccinated people!
If you’ve been fully vaccinated:
- You can gather indoors with fully vaccinated people without wearing a mask.
- You can gather indoors with unvaccinated people from one other household.

Let’s set the record straight. The health care workers taking pics and posting/tweeting about receiving their vaccine aren’t bragging and being boastful about being first. We’re saying we trust science. We’re grateful for the glimmer of hope in this pandemic, 1/x

For those in the #ERAS2021 process, uncertain times can breed self-doubt. Please include these in your daily routine (APA):
1. Celebrate your accomplishments
2. Be kind to yourself (and others)
3. Ask for support if needed
4. Explore your hobbies more
5. Self-care

Interesting move by ENT residency programs to allow students to send “signals” of interest to their top five programs. Will other specialties follow suit?

BIG NEWS this week for residency applicants in otolaryngology...
This year’s applicants will have the option of sending a formal signal of interest to up to 5 programs.
So who wins - and who loses - when we implement formal preference signaling?
