Women in Otolaryngology Canada

We are looking to create networking opportunities for women in Otolaryngology in Canada

[Women's Day @womensday]

The annual #Household #Income & Labour Dynamics in #Australia (Hilda) survey found #women do 21 hours more #unpaidwork a week than #men. Greater awareness to #sharethecare with home and caring responsibilities between genders is needed https://t.co/wZ1c3F8EsH #ChooseToChallenge

[Women in Otolaryngology Canada @WIOCanada]

Also make sure to join us Sunday for our annual Women in Otolaryngology meeting!

Fantastic weekend ahead at the Canadian Society of Otolaryngology Annual Meeting! Take a look at some of the upcoming talks! @ENT_Canada

Fantastic 🧵 by @RitikaGoelTO explaining why #EDI requires real, structural change- including privileged voices being willing to actually listen. We get the outcomes systems are designed to create.

This is a vital message. We still need vaccinated people to mask, which will be a challenge. They’ll be protected from illness and can feel safe going out, but we don’t yet know whether vax stops asymptomatic infection and spread. When will we know & how? https://t.co/t0hKx7DON9

Racial disparities in severe COVID risk were substantial:

Non-white vs white essential workers = 2.4X risk

Non-white vs white non-essential workers = 3.3X risk

[Atul Gawande @Atul_Gawande]

NEWS: Important UK study of severe COVID risk by occupation.

Healthcare workers = 8X risk vs non-essential workers.
Social care (eg child/elder care) = 2.5X
Transport =2.2X
First responders=1.6X
Teachers = 1.4X
Essential workers generally = 1.6X

A lack of Black medical researchers in the field. Not enough people of color in clinical trials. A lack of understanding of health challenges in minority communities. Some in the medical research community are examining inequities in medical research.

@BCIG_UK @ManelWatchAU @DrFBE @OrthopodReg @TMitchellFRCS @simonlloydent @UKWENTs @otolaryngolofox @WomenSurgeonsUK @womenspeakersHC @GeeMcLachlan @medicalwomenuk @bmawomen That is a start. Even better would be to heed the Lancet call 'for women to be included as panellists, not only as chairs or moderators.'

If you want to harness the strength that #diversity brings, women must speak.
