Thrilled to kick off our inaugural #UNMCPsychiatryGR & PM&R joint grand rounds on Stroke Recovery & Rehab: Patient & Physician Perspective.

Appreciate attorney & stroke survivor, John Kindschuh, for his inspiring story! And PM&R chair, Dr Sam Bierner, for stroke best practices! Image
“My life changed overnight when I had a stroke at age 35. I was throwing up and went to the hospital - they thought I had vertigo. Then they noticed speech changes and I had a craniotomy and spent 2 weeks in the ICU.”

- John Kindschuh young stroke survivor at #UNMCPsychGR Image
“My stroke was in my cerebellum. It affects my speech & balance. I am able to understand things, read, write & have my memories. I focus on what I can do instead of what I can’t do. I learned to listen more.”

Thrilled to have @jack_turban discuss his cutting edge work on transgender youth at @unmcpsychiatry!

"Unfortunately, transgender youth experience a high rate of bullying and a high rate of psychiatric morbidity, especially anxiety & depression. This includes suicidal thoughts." ImageImage
"If you use the wrong pronouns, you might remind a transgender or gender diverse youth of a past invalidation from a parent, a bully, etc. If you use the wrong pronouns, just apologize. You are trying to be on their team."

"If you are working with a kid who is transitioning, it's really important to work with the school and the community to ensure it is a safe environment."

"My Ikigai is diversity and equity work. Ikigai is the Japanese concept that is the intersection of 4 questions:"

1. What you are good at

2. What you love

3. What the world needs

4. What you can be paid for

@KateGerull at #UNMCPsychGR on diversity and equity in medicine.
"There are 4 kinds of words used in evaluations.

Men were more likely than women to be described using standout words (i.e. exceptional, best, outstanding).

The specific word 'leader" was used for men > women about 3:1."

- @KateGerull on gender bias and #MedEd
"When @arghavan_salles & I studied plenary speakers at surgery conferences, we heard a common response - there aren't enough qualified women.

So we started @500WIM to connect qualified #WomenInMedicine speakers to events."

- @KateGerull on the leaky pipeline of senior women.
