Healthcare organizations overemphasize degrees and underemphasize traits & experiences that matter when hiring staff. In this new @HarvardBiz piece, @ShreyaKangovi and I describe steps to overcome #bias and hire people who will improve patient outcomes.

@RamenClubHQ I am not convinced these ramen bowls are the most profitable. Instead they give off a vibe of high price = high revenue. Could you ask to increase the profit margin specifically?

When I was a kid in music school, there was a story — practically a legend — of a girl who got stung by a bee during an outdoor performance and never flinched or cried. The lionization of women for working through pain runs deep both within and outside medicine

Amazing work in @NEJM by several classmates including @ChristinaAmutah! Teachers: read on for practical recs for approaching discussions of race in healthcare curriculum. Fellow students: reflect on how your curriculum may be perpetuating bias & disparities in healthcare.
Honored to be part of this all-star team! We took a hard look at how the seeds of physician bias are fertilized every day by medical schools. We present those findings and recommendations in this paper out now in @NEJM
