Back at #ICRE2023, strong start with a powerful discussion on advocacy in medicine

[Chris Watling @ChrisWatling3]

Such great advice at #ICRE plenary panel on advocacy about embracing humanity in medical practice. Doctors sometimes hide behind the notion that the “system is broken”. But the system, in part, is us, and the humanity we bring to each interaction is foundational.

[Shiphra Ginsburg @sginsburg1]

Very excited that our article "What does “timely” mean to residents? Challenging feedback assumptions in postgraduate education" has been accepted @pmeded! Great work by frmr @UofT_DoM resident @AlyssaLip cc: @ChrisWatling3

Only got to spend a short time at #ICRE2022 this year. It was SO nice to be back in person. It was invigorating being surrounded by so many invested in the future of medicine. Listening, learning and thinking…Thanks for having me!

@alyssalip provides insights from a CGT study about optimal feedback among residents:
1) optimal timing of feedback is contextual
2) written feedback requires skill but has much potential to inform

Deciding when the "right moment" is for feedback is complex

At least we can laugh at ourselves?

@bob_connelly @Queenspeds @rvanwylick @drpmacpherson @gillianrmac @leifsok @narges_peds @HarrisonMDCM @mrderynck @Fabuazzah This is amazing and such a great idea!

She gifted me three novels as I left that rotation (I was so overwhelmed, had no idea what to do, and so I accepted the gifts! ). They were all novels about the resident narrative as they explored a career in medicine. Every narrative is so important!

[Alyssa Lip @AlyssaLip]

Something as simple as saying my name was a physical reminder of the human element of practicing medicine. The language we use frames our experiences and affects the narrative. It isn't the patient and the doctor, or the nurse, or the therapist.

[Alyssa Lip @AlyssaLip]

I remember taking care of a CF patient once, a long time ago now. I would go in everyday and say "I'm the resident taking care of you today". One day his sister was in the room, and she refused to let me say that. I'd laugh and awkwardly rephrase, "I'm Dr. Lip, or Alyssa".

[Resident Doctors @ResidentDoctors]

Mark your calendars: the first anthology of stories about Canadian residents' experiences in medical training will be launching virtually on August 12. Registration info forthcoming on the RDoC website - stay tuned for more!

[Alyssa Lip @AlyssaLip]

We did this dance every day for more than a week before I finally got the hang of it. When I finally finished the rotation, she thanked me for taking care of her brother. Turns out she was a professor of #narrativemedicine. She taught me such a valuable lesson that rotation.

Changes happening this week: started fellowship in Toronto, logged back in to give Twitter a twirl, and finally getting a tan after three years in the hospital #residency #hello

HALT syndrome is part of our culture. Hungry. Angry. Lonely. Tired.

Relevant topic presented at #CHEST2019. How can we work together to reduce implicit and explicit bias? https://t.co/PjNfb09a9V

[Alyssa Lip @AlyssaLip]

@drstanbrook @respandsleepjc However, the n value for those with exacerbations within the last 12 months was much less than the n value for those with no exacerbations (which was more similar across groups). Difficult to interpret underlying risk but certainly a possibility!
