Resident loses residency because of pro Palestinian posts on social media ( be careful all)
Dear firends whatever your political beliefs are , this thread is meant only as warning to all to avoid social media posts.

Didn ’t know the ASA could be racist
I have utterly lost respect for the ASA (if I had any left) with this article by the editor in chief.
He is promoting dehumanization of Palestinians and Arabs while pretending he stands for peace.

US Dept of State regional medical officer/psychiatrist positions
I was a RMOP in this position for 14 years, with numerous overseas appointments as well as a Wash DC leadership tour.
