Amazing work and persistence by @UChicagoMedPeds pgy4 @rewiswell sharing her asthma QI efforts, supported by @BucksbaumInst.
Shout out to @UChiPritzker MS2 @AliaRichardson7 who rocked her @PASMeeting research presentation on mental health screening and referral on @ComerChildrens Mobile Medical Unit & received @AcademicPeds Student Research Award.

In the US, diabetes guidelines are updated every year in @AmDiabetesAssn standards of care. Asthma guidelines have had one @nih_nhlbi (focused) update since 2007. Why the difference? Why not annual updates for asthma care? @ATS_BSHSR @vgpress13 @EFornoMD
Honored to be mentored by the amazing @vgpress13 who received the @ATS_BSHSR mid-career award! She’s a force to be reckoned with! @ChronicDiseaseU

Do you know what to do in an emergency? This 2-minute video demonstrates Hands-Only CPR and using an AED.
There are two simple steps that can save a life:
1. Call 9-1-1, ask someone to get an AED, if available.
2. Push hard and fast in the center of the chest.
