Heart shatteringly sad. These kids were looking forward to summer camps, pools, vacations. Tragedy doesn’t even come close to describe it. REMEMBER this when you go to the polls this year. Do you want politicians who push #firearmsafety measures, or the opposite? #Midterms2022
So thankful for the most amazing mentor an aspiring doctor could ask for. Thank you @chorphm for everything you have taught me! I hope that one day I can be half as compassionate of physician/person as you. Thank you for everything! #VCUSOM#Classof2022
Powerful session at #PAS2022 on how to create a more equitable work environment for women in #Pediatrics! Can’t wait to push for equity and justice throughout my career in peds! #WomenInMedicine#ally (also got to see @LeeBeers in person and I was starstruck)
So excited to present at #PAS2022 tomorrow! Come check out the Injury Prevention session tomorrow, Monday 25th at 1-230 mountain time in the mile high ballroom 1EF! I go on at 2pm with our presentation on the work at @childrensatvcu regarding #firearm#injuryprevention
Headed to @vumcpedsres for the next chapter in my career!! Can’t wait to experience all the amazing things Nashville has to offer! #PedsMatch22#pedsmatch2022#MatchDay2022
This is so cool! Stay tuned for @HannahHollon@drelizabethwolf and I’s research at #PAS2022 about helping kids stay #InjuryFree2022 which builds directly off of great research like this, and how trainees can help start the normalization of these conversations in our training!
A study @CincyChildrens by @BKetabchi found that pediatricians agree it's the responsibility of the PCP to discuss firearm safety, but counseling occurs infrequently in the primary care setting due to a lack of time, education and resources.@InjuryFreeKids#InjuryFree2022
A study looking at nearly two decades of data shows firearm-related injuries have surpassed motor vehicle collisions as the leading cause of death for U.S. youth ages 0-19 years, while also showing firearm violence disproportionately affects Black youth

THEY DID IT! With today's bipartisan passage of a bill banning untraceable ghost guns, the Virginia Senate continues to lead on gun safety. @MomsDemand and @StudentsDemand are grateful for @AdamEbbin's leadership and hope the House will follow suit. #vagovx.com/JustCallMeFoxy/status/…
