@FosterFaculty These challenging times call for more flexibility in budgets. Previously CME dollars had to be spent on FTF meetings in our dept; now, these monies can be spent on memberships, dues and much more
@FosterFaculty Increased faculty participation in meetings since they can join from anywhere; it still helps to have a tech savvy person on meetings for trouble shooting issues
@FosterFaculty Some faculty are finding remote workshops on teaching and maintaining life work balance in the new virtual environment to be useful #GFAtalks
@LeighPatterson@ERBrad@FosterFaculty I have heard mentors remark on challenges of establishing relationships with their mentees since all mtgs are virtual, making it harder to connect on a personal level @GFAtalks
@FosterFaculty Our annual CME dept mtg was held virtually for the 1st time last month. There was less interaction among faculty and community pediatricians, but it allowed the community docs to attend remotely and more easily #GFATalks
@LeighPatterson@FosterFaculty Unfortunately, other diseases and problems continue to exist. Due to #COVID19 focus, other diseases are neglected, HIV, tb, obesity are a few
In Peds dept we are looking at understudied drugs in children #GFATalks
@FosterFaculty All faculty, especially women are encountering new challenges with #worklifebalance with COVID for finding time to write and publish #GFAtalks.
