Reviewing residency apps tonight. Fun to read letters of recommendation from my @Twitter friends like @emilysharpe.

However, just read this for a🚺applicant for #Anesthesiology from a Chair of Surgery:

"She and her fiance are in the couples match and I am interested in her fiance for her our dept."

🚺is AOA & had full scholarship to med school. Very little written about her besides reciting her CV (which is awesome).

😠😡😠😡🗯️😠😡😠😡

@womenMDinanesth

Let's teach our 🚺 med students about the right kind of letter of recommendation writers. Those that will #amplify them and write about their qualities and accomplishments and not of their partner's.

On the plus side, I just reviewed 3 apps back-to-back of 🚺applicants who are AOA and couples matching...unclear if the men are also AOA but I am thrilled to see some badass 🚺applicants taking the lead!

And FYI, that was an exact quote (including errors). Writer not from my own institution but I can’t recall which one. Just for clarification.
