Hey @twitter, @linkedin, @CreditSuisse: so cool what you are doing for employees during these hard times! Have you thought about combining these efforts with donating funds to give #essentialworkers time off for respite? https://t.co/OFovw5Z36Y

Learning to simultaneously see and observe, reflecting as a strategy for improving performance, and identifying our emotions and learning how they impact decisions- lessons from @mkonnikova on the @farnamstreet podcast that apply beautifully to medicine: https://t.co/zEMIcdmm3K

Wahoo!! Thanks @michelle_mourad for always advocating for #womeninmedicine!

[michelle mourad @michelle_mourad]

Today I presented a proposal for ambulatory MDs to have paid time for lactation. Got to use the phrase, "Breastfeeding is only free if you don't value a women's time." It was funded. Proud moment for @UCSF women. Details soon. Thank you @dianesliwka @SaraMurrayMD @UCSFHospitals!

[Kendra Moore @moorekendraa]

As #womeninmedicine we have made progress, but these constant challenges to our identities are exhausting. How do we promote active culture change? #medtwitter

[Kendra Moore @moorekendraa]

And I was told by my new job @UCSFDGIM that department-sponsored white coats “only come in men’s sizes” despite our division faculty being majority women.

[Kendra Moore @moorekendraa]

In a @UCSFHospitals-wide email, a heroic female IM resident who started CPR on a victim of an on-campus crime was misidentified as a nurse...

[Kendra Moore @moorekendraa]

In the last week, news coverage of a viral video featuring my friend, cardiologist @LilySternMD singing with one of patients identified her as a nurse despite her white coat and identification as a doctor in the video’s caption... https://t.co/DG5Kel9JyV

[Kendra Moore @moorekendraa]

Silly question, but when are people going to realize that a lot of doctors are women? 🤯 True life, 35% of all US doctors are women, and 50.5% of all medical students are women, according to the @AAMCtoday. And yet...

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

A career in medicine is really not that hard. You just have to be physically, mentally, and emotionally perfect every day for 40 years

[Kendra Moore @moorekendraa]

It’s been difficult to decide over the past weeks whether to take up space on social media, so I’ve been learning from black voices, reading, listening, and talking w/ colleagues/friends/family. I pledge to continue to be an active ally- I won’t stop listening and learning.

[Sharmin Shekarchian @Sharminzi]

I pledge to oppose racism and hate through active allyship, continuous unlearning, learning, and listening. Join me by nominating 5 others to do the same. #BlackLivesMatter

I nominate @brondfield @moorekendraa @ArsalanMedEd @jackpenner @EmmaHLevine

[Kendra Moore @moorekendraa]

@RoxanaDaneshjou @DrStevenTChen @SGottesmanMD @AdeAdamson @juleslipoff Yes, I love VisualDx for helping to build a differential! Excited to check out some of these books for casual perusal to supplement that learning. Thanks for all the recs!

[Kendra Moore @moorekendraa]

I'll admit it, I LOVE RASHES. I'll also admit that I love textbooks. #dermtwitter folks, if you had to recommend 1 textbook for a PCP to flip through to learn more, what would it be? @DrStevenTChen @RoxanaDaneshjou @SGottesmanMD @AdeAdamson @juleslipoff

[Kendra Moore @moorekendraa]

@RoxanaDaneshjou @DrStevenTChen @SGottesmanMD @AdeAdamson @juleslipoff I think mostly photos to help with pattern recognition, then I figure I can look up other resources to read about the details PRN. Would love for the resource to include photos of patients with a range of skin tones!

[Kendra Moore @moorekendraa]

Finally made it to my first @CPSolvers VMR! ...their 50th one, but #betterlatethannever! So impressed by this crew (including my badass co-chief @Sharminzi) & so grateful for the opportunity to learn from brilliant educators near and far! @Gurpreet2015 @gradydoctor @rabihmgeha

[Kendra Moore @moorekendraa]

Amen. Can we add that we should use this crisis to create a new, better normal for patients AND health care workers?

[Sachin H. Jain, MD, MBA @sacjai]

Too many in healthcare are asking for how we can “get things back to normal” rather than work to use this crisis to create a new, better normal for patients.

[Kendra Moore @moorekendraa]

I often feel a pressure to perform or entertain when people ask me what it’s been like at work these last few months- this piece from a few weeks ago still resonates #COVID19

[Colleen Farrell, MD @colleenmfarrell]

I am so grateful to all the messages of support I've received from family, friends and strangers as I care for patients with #covid_19 in NYC. In my @nytimes debut (!) I share my reflections on how to support frontline healthcare workers in your life.

“...Clinicians on the sidelines must confront not only shame and guilt, but also the loss of their primordial story. Who are you, if you can’t be the hero you imagined yourself to be?”

Thank you, @LisaRosenbaum17, for writing this beautiful piece. https://t.co/T4u6TpowDd

[Kendra Moore @moorekendraa]

“For some clinicians, the pandemic offers an opportunity to take on [the hero] role as never before. But for those who can’t, the stories of heroism may be as silencing as they are intoxicating...”

[Kendra Moore @moorekendraa]

5/ So what do you think? Does this resonate with your intern experience? Your senior resident experience? How can we leverage peer support to improve the intern experience? @UCSFIMChiefs @rebeccabermanmd #physicianwellbeing #medtwitter

[Kendra Moore @moorekendraa]

1/ We all know that internship is hard- I wanted to better understand what contributes to interns' emotional distress and the role of senior residents in mitigating it. Here's what @LarissaThomasMD, @bobrien_15 and I found (published today in @JournalGIM): https://t.co/lsCuQUXVoa

[Kendra Moore @moorekendraa]

4/ All this led to creating a peer support curriculum for the @UCSF IM residency with @LarissaThomasMD and @KiranGuptaMD and I am so proud of the peer support leaders we've trained!
