Like so much of pediatric residency in 2020, today is a day where we hold two truths at the same time:
a) There is a lot of scary, tragic, and devastating news in the world
b) we are privileged to take care of children and we take joy in our work

So we are so excited to share about our program, AND we wouldn& #39;t feel right about starting without discussing a few things up front

1) We are tweeting (and doctoring) on seized land. Minneapolis and St. Paul are on Dakota land. Twitter not a great format for nuance, so we recommend checking out for more history and some beautiful maps https://nativegov.org/our-story/the-land-we-are-on/">https://nativegov.org/our-story...
2) We are sick with grief after hearing of the recent passing of our colleague @rileypitcrew chief resident Chaniece Wallace. For more information and to donate to her family, please see https://www.gofundme.com/f/charlotte-wallace">https://www.gofundme.com/f/charlot...
3) We would also like to acknowledge #WalterWallace, a man killed by Philadelphia police yesterday. We would like to say, once again, that we believe that #BlackLivesMatter
https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> and that systemic racism is a pediatric issue. For more, see the AAP statment here: https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/144/2/e20191765">https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/1...
4) VOTE. Or, if you are ineligible to vote, register others to vote! Here is our thread on our residency approach to the election. #votekids https://twitter.com/umnpedsres/status/1313156424575451139?s=20">https://twitter.com/umnpedsre...
End thread. Those are our most important tweets of the day.
Coming up in a bit, details of our program, our amazing residents being goofballs, and more.
