It’s wonderful to see @RACSurgeons celebrating #IWD18 on SoMe. We still need to #PressForProgess to have a diverse workforce to meet the diversity in the communities we serve #WomeninSurgery #WomeninSTEM https://t.co/zZiEXf6aKz

Have your cast your vote in the members ballot on RACS governance reform? The ballot asks Fellows to vote on proposed updates to the Constitution that allow for the establishment of a skills-based governance Board. Find out more: https://t.co/o975r2dPDs

@OrthopodReg @JCainBlox @RCSnews @AIDAAustralia @aaipdocs @IPACIndigenous @Royal_College @ABCIndigenous @drruthmitchell @LiangRhea Thank you @OrthopodReg for sharing the very insightful overview provided by @JCainBlox - I wish the structural inequities to get into medicine and onto surgical training could be obliterated so that we can have the diverse medical workforce needed by our 2 countries’ communities

Thank you @DanielleGuss for amendments in the latest update of the article!!

[Dr Christine Lai FRACS FACS @csl888]

@DanielleGuss thank your for the article up dating us in the tragic death of @DrMichaelMosley
His wife is also a medical doctor but you refer to her Ms Mosley. As female journalist I hope it’s from ignorance not a gendered microaggression?

“The cost of equity” presented by @pringlmillermd and @VerranDeborah There is a lot of evidence which shows better outcomes with female doctors which led to @HarvardBiz writing “How Discrimination Against Female Doctors Hurts Patients” #RACS24 #patientsafety #equity

So lovely to meet you IRL @OrthopodReg and catch up with @JCainBlox and @drruthmitchell

Today was a very good day

Much as social media is often an absolute binfire, it’s thanks to this hellsite that I’ve got a community of #MedEd nerds, advocates & legends I’m proud to call friends

Also…there was great wine

@RACSurgeons women in surgery annual business meeting - equity is progressing with increasing representation of women in leadership in the RACS but we need to continue to breakdown barriers for women to entering surgical training

An insightful plenary this morning @RACSurgeons ASM on Equity in Surgical Selection & Training. @DrIncoll highlighted 'invisible' barriers to diversity. We still have a long way to go to achieve equity. Thank you, chairs, @csl888 & Dr. David Walters. #RACS2023 #SurgicalEquity

[Dr Christine Lai FRACS FACS @csl888]

@PeckyDeSilva @RACSurgeons This is so true! Collection of diversity data is important for benchmarking and to interphase if there are any implicit biases in workplaces when there is any selection process or assessment processes (surgical/non surgical)
