Calling attention to gender discrimination violations - too common in major med centers. With their power and $, they fear nothing except exposure. Help stop it
#MedTwitter can we please stop responding to stories about facing discrimination with responses in the vein of “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger?” Nobody needs to face discrimination and abuse to be strong. Stop trying to tell ppl what they gain from being victims of it.
BE AWARE
Laura Forese @nyp allows @ColumbiaSurgery systematic gender discrimination; pay inequity; retaliation.
Multiple active and settled cases, and active investigation by @NewYorkStateAG
A woman that’s aware and does nothing is complicit and disgusting.
#EnoughIsEnough
So much to unpack w the Tulane news but all of you who wrote letters to ACGME on @DrDennar's behalf, YOU helped to bring this to a head. THANK YOU. 1/

People ask us why we continue to fight for justice 2 years later, why we give our time and energy to keep speaking up, advocating for others, putting on public events like the one coming up on July 15th. Want to know why we care so damn much? Watch this 👇🏾
Thank you everyone for all your support & advocacy. ACGME's action is an affirmation that our collective work to insist on equality in medicine, as difficult & painstaking as it may be, can make a difference. The first step towards change is recognizing that there is a problem.
Words can not express how delighted I am today of the announcement to lead the Dept of Surgery @AlbanyMed. The connection I felt with everyone I met made it seem ordained. I am humbled by the honor and am filled with gratitude. Thank you all for celebrating with me!
3/ Using care model design and education and advocacy to train a new generation of physician advocates, JEH will build the healthcare delivery models we all deserve.
2/ Honestly, I formed this company because I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.
I deeply believe that WE (you, me, our patients, and trainees) are the ones we've been waiting for when it comes to changing our healthcare system to meet our needs.
YALLLLLL!!! I am so excited to introduce my company, Just Equity For Health: https://t.co/E2OHk36LaC.
I wrote a bit about what inspired me to form this healthcare improvement company in this medium piece- https://t.co/mEqEtxu7Ys

Self-care is more than a hashtag. Last month I was admitted to the ICU, I'm incredibly grateful to the incredible group of URM physicians who saved my life when I couldn't see what was happening.
That's the tweet.
