Checking in from my pediatrics shift at Chippenham Hospital last night! Running for Mayor keeps my calendar full, but I value the time with patients and their families. I’ve been a pediatrician for 20 years and I’m dedicated to serving our city’s families through public service!

I’m a strong Black woman who was raised by a strong Black woman with two sisters. I had to be resilient to succeed, particularly in politics. After 17 years in the Virginia General Assembly, I'm now running for Congress. nbcnews.com/politics/polit…
usatoday.com/story/news/hea… great to see our work by @BeaversonSarah @vmdwip @MeeraPahuja @alan_dow @nana_sinkam @TWDFNR covered by @USATODAY highlighting antiquated race correction in lung function testing. Get the word out, change practice, improve and save our patients lives.
Have you heard of eGFR race-correction factors? Did you know that race-adjustment factors are used in PFT calculations as well? Our group takes a deeper look at the history and why this is a thing we do for no reason @vmdwip @alan_dow @MeeraPahuja @nana_sinkam @m_schefft
Some will say "but I want an RCT!!". As we state in our commentary, how far do we have to go to prove a null hypothesis that was never rejected in the first place?! (5/9)
In summary...I am still looking for a single paper in our field that has demonstrated superiority of IV over oral abx...for anything! (9/9)
Serious ? for #MedTwitter, motivated partly by righteous indignation but mostly by genuine interest. Where are the studies confirming superiority of IV over PO abx, or long IV over short IV courses, for *any* condition. Prefer peds studies but will take anything. Please help.
This team works so hard to keep @childrensatvcu patients safe while they restore their health while working with other @sps4kids childrens hospitals around the country to do the same. Phenomenal work!
No clever zingers here to enrage the opposition. Just a simple, gut-wrenching request made with humility: please ban assault rifles. I probably shouldn’t say this, but I don’t know how to protect my 22,000 students from them. They scare the hell out of me. I’m begging you.
The MOST important things that pediatric trainees can do to #KeepKidsFed is screen for food insecurity using this written 2-question screener below.
Come one! Come all! A Tribute Concert to honor #HealthcareHeroes with #RVASymphony and @VCUHealth Orchestra. Fun fact: @chorphm very own @as_tseng is a VCU Health Orchestra member! @childrensatvcu @PHMFellowships
It’s days like today when you love working at a children’s hospital most… the delivery day for our pizza oven for the Wonder Tower! @childrensatvcu #builtforkids #builtbyyou
Could not be more impressed with @childrensatvcu trainees work on firearm safety. @HannahHollon @safelydoingless @ScottRisney @PASMeeting
Excellent #PAS2022 presentation by @michellempena sharing best practices for Equity Focused QI highlighting how racism (not race) drives differences in outcomes and the importance of centering community voices in QI efforts
