Maryland’s resident leaders are coming together to make their voices heard! 🦀

The Chief Residents of Baltimore (CRAB) recently met to discuss resident advocacy and plans for the year.

Working under ACP Maryland’s Early Career Physicians Committee, CRAB is committed to representing ALL residents across the state. Dr. Rohan, first place in the selection process for ACP Maryland’s Resident Fellows Program led a discussion about proposed ACGME changes that could reduce resident rest protections. The committee plans to gather statewide resident input and prepare a unified response.

Plans also include educational workshops, scholarship opportunities, our annual soccer tournament, and bringing back last year’s successful POCUS workshop. An interprogram pickleball tournament is also being explored to bring even more residents together! 🏓

Thank you to CRAB cochairs Drs. Ram Bhutani, Simran Agrawal, Miracle Eke, Maddie Purcell, and Dave Kristian Dalida, and to all the resident leaders and advisors contributing to this work. Dr. Janaki, Dr. Chow, and ECP Co-chair Dr. Reyes reaffirmed ACP Maryland’s support for residents having a voice in decisions that affect them.

What moment changed the way you see medicine?

Join ACP Maryland for our next Story Swap, The Turning Point: A Moment That Changed Me, on Thursday, October 8, from 7:00 to 8:00 PM ET on Zoom.

Our featured storyteller, Dr. Andrea Levine, will share a personal experience that reshaped her perspective on medicine. We’d love to hear your story too, whether it involves a patient, a mentor, a challenge, or a conversation you still think about. You’re just as welcome to come and listen.
