A year in the making!! Wish I had this growing up - we collaborated with @UofTCardio DICE to give our mentees an early sim lab experience in cardiology

One of many initiatives in @_GirlSySTEM UNITY+ stream, uplifting our mentees from marginalized groups #RepresentationMatters

[Mena g @MyNameIsMena]

We had an awesome end to our month long workshop series with DICE x @_GirlSySTEM mentorship group! Students from high school to medical school learned radial, femoral, IJ access, bedside echo, deployed stents in PCI, and deployed TAVI and ASD closure devices in our sim lab!!

[GirlSySTEM @_GirlSySTEM]

Highlights from our 2 very different, but equally inspiring events last week:

1) Battle of the Surgical Specialties @UofT DICE Team ft. all-star surgeons from @UHN @UofTUpsurge @UofTSurgery
2) Overcoming self-stigmas & becoming a confident leader in STEM @StepAboveStigma

[Mena g @MyNameIsMena]

HUGE thanks to our amazing friends @UofTSurgery @UofTUpsurge for an insightful discussion on life as a surgeon for our DICE x @_GirlSySTEM collab! Biggest themes: surgery is an art & science, ORs range in terms of acuity/complexity, planning + troubleshooting is major 🔑!!

[GirlSySTEM @_GirlSySTEM]

Another much anticipated event with DICE this Thursday!!! RSVP on our website to secure you spot 🫀🥼

[Mena g @MyNameIsMena]

Our 2nd workshop collab DICE x @_GirlSySTEM on the surgical subspecialties is this Thursday @ 6pm! We’re featuring our friends @UofTSurgery from general, orthopedic, OB/GYN, vascular, and cardiac surgery!! @MimiXDeng @byibrehuMD #Celina #Nour #Kennedy @UofTUpsurge DM for link!!

Celebrating 5 amazing years of GSM.. and many many more to come!!#anniversary 🥳

[Mena g @MyNameIsMena]

What a wonderful evening session in our DICE x @_GirlSySTEM mentorship groups showcasing our incredible fellows @UofTCardio!! Biggest themes: our collab + partnership across specialties, resilience in chasing passion, and quieting our inner critic that tries to hold us back! 💪🏼

[GirlSySTEM @_GirlSySTEM]

@MyNameIsMena @UofTCardio @6pm We couldn’t be more excited! 🙌

[Mena g @MyNameIsMena]

Wondering what the DICE program @UofTCardio is all about? We’re having a 3 session workshop in collab with @_GirlSySTEM mentorship for students to learn all about cardiology/associated specialties! Session 1 is April 13th @6pm online. DM for zoom link if you’d like to attend! 🫀
