In a new series by @nytimes, "In Harm’s Way," #UVMLarnerMed Assoc. Prof. of Family Med Stephen Berns, MD, reflects on his experience as a palliative care doc at @UVMMedCenter during the #COVID19 pandemic. Read his story and others at nyti.ms/2yjULqh. #UVMProud @Stberns

Can we stop using the term "palliative care" as a euphemism for care that does not allow for life sustaining treatments? Palliative care services are seeing patients who are getting maximal treatments including vents in the ICU. #HAPC #bioethics – at Larkspur, CA

Patients & families taught us how they were resilient. Now, we’re sharing 4 skills that work. Try them, share them, and know that we are all in this together. @seattlechildren @pcresilience @uwmnewsroom @artefactgroup #covid19 #resilience #hapm #pedpc #hpm
You inspire us all! Thank you @Steph_HarmanMD and @rbernack for your trailblazing.
Congrats to the 2019 #sojourns scholars. You are most impressive!

“Management is about coping with complexity. Leadership, by contrast, is about coping with change.” Successful teams and organizations have both. #hapm #hpm #pedpc #bioethics @TIMESUPHC #WomenInMedicine @seattlechildren @UWPedsRes

Adjusted deaths from gun violence in 2017 was similar to influenza death rates and more common than deaths from sepsis. Public health issue we should discuss in med schools. 🙏 @meganranney #larnermed
