A 🧵- So yesterday on my flight there was a medical emergency involving a passenger in the seat right in front of me. I immediately jump up (I’m a family medicine PA) as did the woman behind me (internal medicine physician) and sprang into action. 1/6
We are assessing, communicating with each other, the patient’s partner, and the flight crew when all of a sudden a man rushes up from the back, pushes me out the way (a literal shove), and interrupts the woman physician mid-sentence and announces he is a surgeon 2/6
Y’all, the woman physician and I share an understanding glance in that moment, because we both felt the cut of microaggressions that had just occurred. There was reference to her as a nurse (not MD) and to me that help had arrived. 3/6

“There’s no #gender-neutral #pandemic, and this one is no different!”

Read this interview @phumzileunwomen on the specific gender dimension of #Coronavirus and how this has highlighted once more the need to have more women in power!

While #women represent 1/2 of humanity, their under-representation in political offices is appalling. This is not only wrong, but also stupid: female leadership correlates with more inclusive governance & better economic outcomes.
From crossing party lines, being more responsive to public needs, increasing stability, challenging the status quo, and inspiring more #women to run for office, #GenderParity benefits societies and enables progress.

@GrantThornton How do we send the elevator back down for future women leaders? Jennifer Morelli wants us to make the "right change" not the "forced change" to meet diversity initiatives.
@GrantThornton How to do it: #Recruitment first and foremost! Getting women in roles all the way to the top.

2. We had amazing speakers. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being a part of this inaugural year. @JulieSilverMD @VictoriaMedvec @LaurieBaedke
