The #ATS2019 dust has settled...here are a few final images highlighting the incredible community, engagement, and reach on social media this year. First, the overall stats. Almost 80 million impressions, 5000 accounts, 24000 tweets.
This image shows us: 1. Most tweets include images - we like pictures.📸 2. Most tweets mention other accounts - just like real life, we like names 3. Retweets >> replies (maybe bc RT is 'easy' and reply takes more thought to compose?) #hcsm#AHSM#meded#ATS2019

#COVID19 has disproportionately affected careers of women in healthcare and science.
As I reflect on my own experience at work as a woman, a physician, and a leader, here are some things that make a big difference, to me and to the teams I lead:
