Medical schools have a social accountability to meet the needs of the communities that they serve. We need generalists - but our MD programs are primarily located in tertiary centers, with a specialist philosophy of care. Just maybe, the system is the barrier....

Knowing that some with influence has your back allows freedom to « challenge the dominant narratives and discourse. »

This is how you know who is valued in your organization.

Whose stories are believed?
Whose complaints are responded to?
Who is paid the most?
Who is given multiple chances?
Whose bad behaviors are not addressed?
Who benefits from organizational policies?

How should new monies pledged by the federal gov't to fix the health care system be spent? DFCM's @tara_kiran says we need to invest in primary care to ensure everyone in Canada has a family doctor.

This infographic shows that primary care is the foundation of our healthcare system. We must support it seriously or care will crumble and costs will climb. This is already happening. For a plan that includes other vital care team members see https://t.co/yQR6XkZLWl

On #PresidentsDay, it is important to recall that at least twelve U.S. presidents enslaved Black people, eight while in office. Two-thirds of the first 18 presidents collectively enslaved nearly 2,000 Black people. We know what largely built this nation, and it wasn’t freedom.

Diversify the curriculum all you want. Even refer to it as "decolonizing the curriculum" but at least don't claim this alone transforms material conditions of domination if the pedagogy used & knowledge attained is not praxis-oriented. You can't read your way out of coloniality.

This is pure misogyny. Woods is signalling his lesser competitor menstruates. The premeditation he put into this removes all doubt of his sexist intent.

This is why I do the work I do.

Bc we need women to stay in healthcare.

We need a healthcare system that does not rely on health care heroes but on health care humans - a true team-based approach: @DrRitaMc, BC family physician #CMABoldChoices

In preparation, some twittering thoughts from my place in understanding the #FamilyDoctorShortage & how it impacts the healthcare system as a whole.

33 years ago tonight, 14 women went to bed thinking about their finals, future in STEM and the upcoming holiday season. They didn’t know that these dreams threatened a man’s sense of self worth and that they wouldn’t survive to see their goals and aspirations become a reality.

Beyond disrespectful to see one of these “protestors” holding an “every child matters” flag while pushing children to the front lines.

Talking about systemic racism within an institution tends to make a person unpopular.
