As the pandemic impacts women in healthcare, we held a #GiveHerAReasonToStay panel at @unmc @NebraskaMed.

Chancellor @jeffreypgold, "I would love to become the most inclusive organization for women. We need to redouble our efforts to listen, respond and then act."

(1/8) ImageImage
Dr. @AllisonGrennan, "The pandemic has worsened the cognitive load for women. Now, we have to worry about whether we can go to work and keep our children safe."

Her tip: Leaders, look at meeting times vs. caregiving duties: "If the meeting is 6 am, I can't be there."

(2/8) Image
Dr. @RUBraveEnough, "Since the pandemic, I have had 200 personal conversations with women physicians who've said, 'I don't know if I can do this anymore.'"

Her tip: "Every woman who talks to you about work/life conflicts represents 10 more. See it as an opportunity."

(3/8) Image
Dr. @ShirleyDelair, "The pandemic has especially disrupted careers for women with intersectional identities. For example, I help support my extended family."

Her tip for leaders, "Employers need to expand childcare access that flexes to meet needs for working parents."

(4/8) Image
Sr. Vice Chancellor @DeleDaviesMD: Advice for deans and directors:

"Ask yourself 5 questions to ensure you are being inclusive in your college, your department, etc. When I was a department chair in pediatrics, I had the most diverse unit in the college."

(5/8) ImageImage
Dr. Keith Allen @unmc_mmi: "I recently hosted listening sessions for my team and it has been both powerful and humbling. Now that I'm an empty nester, I realized that I forgot how hard it is to have children at home. It was a wake up call to really listen to be an ally."

(6/8) Image
Heidi Husk, HR leader, on investing in caregiving: "We have a vision for a @NebraskaMed @unmc combined childcare center for Project NeXT which will offer sick care, extended hours, drop in care for when childcare falls through. It will truly be state of the art."

(7/8) Image
We closed with Director of Equity, @DrBrandyClarke, talking to Chancellor @jeffreypgold, about the future of work.

Dr. Gold: "The underlying principle for the workplace of the future is flexibility."

#GiveHerAReasonToStay is a call to value women at @unmc @NebraskaMed!

(8/8) ImageImage
A huge thanks to our speakers, planning committee, PR team and sponsoring organizations! 🙏🙏🙏

Shout out to @JulieSilverMD @AMWADoctors @ELAMProgram for their national leadership in gender equity.

Everything is possible with a dedicated team.

Highlights of the @unmc @NebraskaMed #AAPIHeritageMonth program from May 13, 2024:

Chancellor & President-Elect @jeffreypgold:

“What brings us together is stronger than what tears us apart - to lead the world in transforming lives and communities for a healthier future.”
Image
“I hope we recognize no matter what our culture is, if you are here at our med center, we are building a heritage and culture that binds us together in providing outstanding clinical care, education, and research.”

- @NebraskaMed CEO Dr. Jim Linder at #AAPIHeritageMonth event Image
@NebraskaMed @UNMCCOPH @unmccahp @UNMCCOD @UNMCCOM @UnmcCop @UNMCCON @unmc_mmi @unmcpsychiatry @UNMC_IM @NebraskaEM "In our forums, we practice the platinum rule - treat others the way they want to be treated."

"As we celebrate #AAPIHeritageMonth, the key word is 'belonging' for our patients, faculty, staff and students."

- Chancellor and Provost @jeffreypgold welcomes keynote @knguyenpoetry at @unmc @NebraskaMed for Asian American Heritage Month. Image
"Poetry and medicine are rarely mentioned in the same sentence, which is why I am so excited to join the two today. It is the art of taking what is unknowable and making it known."

- @knguyenpoetry, Vietnamese American award-winning poet and keynote for #AAPIHeritageMonth Image
"What makes narrative medicine so important is its emphasis on the literary arts. It boldly claims that an understanding of storytelling is necessary in medicine. It transforms a patient from symptom input to a real person who lives outside the diagnosis."

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.”

Assistant Vice Chancellor for Inclusion @SAStrongMD opens the @unmc @NebraskaMed session to #InvestinHer as we celebrate #WomeninMedicine Month! "It's a call to action to recruit, retain, promote & resource women in healthcare to succeed. And support re-entry for women as well."
"It has never been more important to dialogue on #WomeninMedicine. As I chair the @theNAMedicine section on wellness, women physicians are critical. Whether it is childcare, promotion, pay, etc. there are countless ways to do better."

- Chancellor & Provost @jeffreypgold
"We respect all women in healthcare from patients to healthcare professionals. When we have any session on diversity, equity and inclusion, we must lean into our discomfort for growth to occur. We can have different viewpoints and both can be true."

Thrilled to kick off our #AAPIHeritageMonth program with keynote speaker @chancellor_li from @UNOmaha to discuss the importance of community!

We are all from different families, cultures and backgrounds. The strength of an academic health center is in its diversity! Image
"This is a time of tragedy with recent hate crimes. This is also a time of opportunity. The more we can bring our communities together the better we can eliminate disparities. We are so lucky to have @chancellor_li's leadership!"

- Chancellor @jeffreypgold at #AAPIHeritageMonth Image
"With our 10,000 plus employees at @NebraskaMed, I am thrilled to celebrate #AAPIHM and to learn from our colleagues. Our culture is so important to our work in healthcare."

- @drjlinder CEO on the importance of diversity on our teams. Image

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."

- @jack_turban at #UNMCPsychGR Image
"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."
