👩🏾‍⚕️👨🏻‍⚕️👩🏼‍⚕️👨🏽‍⚕️👩🏻‍⚕️👨🏼‍⚕️

#WomenInMedicine answer with a resounding “NO!”

Let’s shift our focus from asking whether it exists to implementing sustainable strategies to change the status quo.

1/ Now that I’ve transitioned back to being a full time student (🤯), I’ve taken on a personal challenge to read one academic journal article each day.

🧐 So #MedTwitter #AcademicTwitter, how do you critically & effectively read a journal article? Image
2/ The 3-pass approach to reading a scientific article:

1st pass: quick scan of the article

2nd pass: read it in detail, highlight & jot down notes as you go

3rd pass: in dot points, try & reconstruct the main points of the paper from memory including your critical analysis
3/ Here is another approach:

A thought provoking question from a medical student today as we discussed #CrazySocks4Docs:

“We all walk around wearing socks & I know it’s gotta do with mental health, but really...does it make any difference? What’s the use?”

So here is the difference I see: Image
💁🏾‍♀️Increased awareness of mental health in doctors

Did you know:
📌21% doctors have had depression
📌Medical students report higher rates of general distress & specific mental health diagnoses
📌1:4 doctors had suicidal ideation prior to the last 12months

beyondblue.org.au/docs/default-s…
💁🏻‍♂️Increased health professionals mental health funding for research & support

👏🏽$500K additional funding for doctors mental health support @VDHP3

👏🏾 Breakthrough Mental Health Research Foundation are also raising funds for doctors mental health research
