I didn’t think it was possible to become more pro-choice than I already was, but after 7 months of pregnancy all I can think about is how wrong it would be to make someone do this who doesn’t want to.
Dr. Lewis woke up this morning to tell it how it is. There is so much between the lines when it comes to the differential allocation of opportunity in med Ed. You cannot talk about DEI without acknowledging white supremacy and what that means for minoritized trainees and faculty
Idk what’s going on at work/home for you this week, but if it feels like just another week with the background of collective pandemic stress, check on your privilege.
Your students, coworkers, residents are not OK. Nothing about this is OK and we are just so tired
How can surgeons improve health disparities and strive for health equity through research? MAKE FRIENDS. Great talk by @DrLolaFayanju@AcademicSurgery @UMichCHOPFellow
Personal Reflection: It's good to hear an example of a department's investment in diversity for excellence. I'm also convinced that solutions on diversity need to be home-grown, individualized, and thoughtfully adapted. Culture still eats strategy for breakfast. @AcademicSurgery
"It is our responsibility as surgeons to address these complex issues.... Our children will look back and ask, how did we respond." Dr. @erikaanewman on academic faculty experiences of racial discrimination. @UMichSurgery@AcademicSurgery
"What messages does it send when you have a department with just one or two faculty of color? We need diversity to be the leaders and best." Dr. @erikaanewman discussing the impetus for the Michigan Promise @UMichSurgery. Learn more here https://t.co/ppRWuyRyAt.
Your place is in the resistance #MedTwitter
Fight for Black Lives everyday, elevate Black voices, donate HARD CASH not just good intentions, change the way you are selecting, promoting, and caring for people. Step away from comfort. Give away your power so others can live
Read this article by @scottwoodssays and his quote you've been seeing all over. "[Anti-racism work] is uncomfortable work ... You will have to think about the work, and once you start doing that correctly, you will never not be thinking about the work." https://t.co/eWtUm2hAPu
This absolutely applies to surgery. And every part of our lives. If you disagree, please DM me.
I’ll explain what I’ve learned from @v_valbuen@JSantosParker and others: If you can separate these horrible, racist events from your life, that is the definition of privilege.
@ealipstein@socmdm@DSCCollab This isn't about scales - but a mentor sent me back to the sociology literature for a project on trust/SDM. This citation helped put some of the theory in the context of health and decision making https://t.co/zbBybDWdlc

Was going to send to @AFriedmanPeahl before I read it, but wisely checked first... OF COURSE she’s quoted in it. Pandemic + her research passion = accelerated change @ncspMICHIGAN
