Emotional resilience can only be improved when you can be vulnerable. Vulnerability is competence. But our profession stigmatizes openness and vulnerability as weakness. #doctors #WomenInMedicine #braveenough2018.

@DylanPGriswold @nytimes @HillaryClinton If you actually read the Hippocratic oath, it does not allow surgery since it is an act of harm. Since you are an aspiring surgeon, how do you justify this? #bioethics #SurgEthics.

@scrubbedin @WomenSurgeons @TIMESUPHC @physicianwomen @AAMCNews Oh, yes. Almost forgot about the time when I was a resident and a woman of color more senior to me said something that was considered offensive to a floor nurse and nursing staff reported it with my name. I had to prove to HR that I was operating at the time. #WhyIwasWrittenUp.

@epigeekGab Helps to have an attitude of collaboration with a team spirit. Yes, it is hard for clinicians to dedicate full time to a research career, but they can make great partners with PhDs, scientists, and engineers by guiding clinical relevance. #translation #teamwork.

@TheSylvreWolfe @DovWaxman You've flipped the argument. Palestine has no rights to access commerce given the borders are completely controlled. It is false to call Israel the democracy when it subjugates and oppresses while also unwilling to pursue a one state solution.

@Dr_Oubre Burnout comes from conflict that occurs between organizational culture and our fiduciary duties to our patients, our families, or ourselves. Burnout is a conflict of commitment(s) and requires permission or authority to determine your own boundaries.

@DrLindaMD @jflier @BostonGlobe So the question still stands for @BostonGlobe @jflier - Should we promote a history that selects only the white male physician in power at the time for tribute, or do we create an environment where women and minority physicians can also aspire to greatness? #WomeninMedicine.

Women professors are perceived as being annoying while men are perceived as being smart. By including a statement about biases along with and prior to faculty evaluations, we may be able to correct for this discrepancy in advance. #genderequity #genderbias #BE19.

Mistreatment of female and minority surgeons needs to not just be acknowledged. It needs to be stopped. We should not pride ourselves on graduating female trainees only to allow them to fail as attendings. #lateralviolence #abusivestaff #womeninmedicine.
This should prompt some serious reflection for surgical leaders—female faculty experience less psychological safety than residents of any gender. (Your mouth should be agape at this moment as you let that sink in). #SEW2019.@JulieSilverMD @SashaShillcutt @ShikhaJainMD.

Interesting data on introductions & diversity in #surgonc meetings! by @CamilleLStewart @drsuswarner & al in @AnnSurgOncol . Do we need society guidelines for 1️⃣ introductions (standardized regardless of seniority) & 2️⃣ diversity of speakers/moderators?. More 👇.

There seems to have been a very big misunderstanding by some, thinking this is a “panel”. It is not. It is a course, a masterclass in #endometriosis surgical techniques, aimed at gynaecologists who want to improve their skills and learn a few tips.
