#IDWeek2025 kicks off today, & @emorydeptofmed.bsky.social is well represented with a total of 96 Emory-affiliated presentation. Don't miss talks by @colleenkelly.bsky.social & @gradydoctor.bsky.social Full list of Emory sessions: bit.ly/EmoryIDWeek2025
As national medical, scientific, public health and patient organizations, we call for the resignation of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to ensure the health of the American people. Our statement: https://bit.ly/45LeJHi
🚨BREAKING: IDSA, along with AAP, APHA, ACP and others, has filed a lawsuit against HHS/Secretary Kennedy to stop unlawful changes to vaccine policy and defend public health. We refuse to stand by while America’s public health safeguards are torn apart. bit.ly/4lm7UkW
Secretary Kennedy’s allegations about the integrity of CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices are completely unfounded and will have a significant negative impact on Americans of all ages. Our statement: bit.ly/3SGaDcb
Seen many ID docs become Chief Quality or Chief Medical Officers and lead huge teams after serving in many of these (including telehealth) positions. Great series of posts Paul
Great series for #IDSky I’d add for AS and IC, you can seek agreements outside your institution. Many rural hospitals and nursing homes without ID physicians are willing to pay for these services. A great way to combine #4 and #5 into tele-stewardship!

Today I fielded a call from a colleague about “recurrent UTI” in a nursing home resident. It turned into a great diagnostic stewardship opportunity where I shared this great resource from AHRQ on talking to residentes and families about UTI/ASB. www.ahrq.gov/sites/defaul... #IDSky #MedSky #UTISky
Influenza vaccines for this year are about 50% effective against all severity of influenza in adults and slightly more effective in young children, about 62% against severe infections. This is a good level of protection and it matters. Get a flu shot🧪 www.cidrap.umn.edu/influenza-va...
