@erinstevensmd @dholakiamd @SGO_org We should be more supportive of trainees going out into the community in general, not treating it as a loss or a waste of talent when someone leaves urban academia.

[Meg Whicker @MegWhicker]

@erinstevensmd @dholakiamd @SGO_org But also how do we support the rural and community gyn oncologists themselves, particularly those in early career? Mentorship, ongoing professional development, broadening access to resources that are often concentrated in academic centers.

@PGHMFM @boardobgyn @boardobgyn if OBGYN is not leading the charge to support breastfeeding physicians, who will? Unacceptable

[Lauren Carlos @PGHMFM]

Same friend has now been told by @boardobgyn that to be guaranteed 30 mins to pump, she had to request when she registered for the exam. Since she is due June 22, and registration opened Sept 19, she was 1 week 4 days away from conception... we know how pregnancy works, right?

@PGHMFM @boardobgyn @PearsonVUE Setting up pumping accommodations for a board exam should not require multiple hours on hold. Do Better @boardobgyn and @PearsonVUE

[Lauren Carlos @PGHMFM]

Take subspecialy boards postpartum. It’ll be fine right? @boardobgyn and @PearsonVUE why can’t an OB/GYN (a women’s health provider!) take her exam at the site closest to her and still take 30 Mins to pump? Why can’t all your sites accomodate #BreastfeedingMom s?! #workingmoms
