An amazing piece of work on JMO wellbeing promoted at #Prevoc23. Baking, yoga and social events can only do so much if service, rota and training are in disarray.

Women in medicine still experience bias and discrimination at every level.

It is less often the case that women don’t see themselves as surgeons; it’s more often that they are simply not provided the same opportunities for the same performance as men peers. #ILookLikeASurgeon

@PeckyDeSilva @RACSurgeons .@PeckyDeSilva closes with this challenge- if data show women surgeons have better outcomes, especially for women patients-

…what are the improvements going to be for #PatientSafety if we increase women surgeons from 18% to 50%? #ILookLikeASurgeon 😷🔪

[Rhea Liang @LiangRhea]

Cracking start by @PeckyDeSilva at the @Macquarie_Uni Micro-gestures workshop. The representation of women in @RACSurgeons has just tipped 18% and research in media suggests that this is past the threshold where men perceive this as 50-50, and equity efforts falter.

@AdamStephanou You’re the best ❤️ excited to do this with you

[May Erlinger @ifimaye]

That feeling when you pass all of your exams and finish medical school:

[May Erlinger @ifimaye]

@DRUNKMD1 True that!! But why not celebrate the easier moments too!

[May Erlinger @ifimaye]

@TaneshaMentore So excited for you!!! Such a sense of relief 🥳

[May Erlinger @ifimaye]

@MTBandHeadache Hahah uh oh I definitely see those expensive and hard exams and training in the distance!! 😅 I'll try and focus on sleep and celebrations for now :)

[May Erlinger @ifimaye]

@Underwhelmist1 Definitely ready to sleep for a month!

This this this 👇

We cannot tackle #SexualHarassment in isolation if we do not also tackle #GenderBias, #Fatigue, the #SurvivorBias narratives that normalise heroic ways of working in unsafe ways, and 'weaponised #wellness'. They are all parts of the whole. 🙏@GPswampwarrior

A powerful day at the #CanberraSummit on #SexualHarassment in Medicine

Feels like the beginning of something neither performative nor rhetorical

A real privilege to be there & be a small part of the day

There’s so much more to do, but this is a start

#CanberraSummit A spectacularly challenging, thoughtful, and inspiring day amongst leaders of all fields across medicine, education, law, industry and research. Discussions aplenty, with solutions (and many more discussions) approaching. We will make medicine a safer place.

We have started #CanberraSummit

[May Erlinger @ifimaye]

What a spectacular space to kick off the summit, and to share space with so many brilliant leaders across so many disciplines. An honour to attend, listen, learn, and hopefully contribute to meaningful change!

My first ever first-author paper is out! Also it's my 10th publication! Couldn't have done it without my supervisor Jeff!
A nice little book-end to finishing med school (in 4 weeks) 🥳🥳

[May Erlinger @ifimaye]

@gertfrahmjensen Thank you!!

[May Erlinger @ifimaye]

@MarjorieCross I would agree! And what a great thread as well!
