@ShikhaJainMD

Hello everyone! My name is Dr. @ShikhaJainMD and I will be taking over the #WomenInOncology account today! Follow along! A little about me to start. I am a GI medical oncologist @UICancerCenter where I specialize in #Neuroendocrine tumors

@WIMSummit

I am also the founder and president of the nonprofit #WomenInMedicine @WIMSummit, an organization dedicated to finding innovative strategies to closing the gender gap in healthcare

@IMPACT4HC

I am also a cofounder and CEO of @IMPACT4HC, a nonprofit dedicated to amplifying HCW voices and disseminating evidence based information in public health messaging and advocating for science based policies.

Finally, I am also a mom to 3 amazing little humans who are 7, 4 and 4. They are by far the most fun part of my day.

Follow along today and ask questions if you like! I’ll try to respond to as many as I can.
#DrJainTakeover

Let’s talk #GenderEquity to start. We all know #WomenInMedicine are getting burned out and leaving the workforce. And it’s not because they aren’t “resilient” or “ambitious” but bc there are barriers in place that result in women working twice as hard and not getting recognition

@ASCOPost

That happens across the board but we see it in #WomenInOncology as well. A pub just out in @ASCOPost w @DrSGraff @NarjustDumaMD @drdonsdizon and colleagues describes some of the challenges and solutions
