I went down a rabbit hole of women and academic productivity this morning...

Spurred by a recent Washington Post article (which buried the lede) showing that due to COVID19 academic women are losing 7.5 to 10 hrs/week of research if they have kids <7 yo

This is a CRISIS for academic promotion.

Pre-pandemic, studies showed disparities in publication rates between women/men.

There are 100s of articles describing this, but these 2 are pertinent to #AcademicMedicine

I put together info on feedback for our interns and meant to share, but things *ahem, COVID* got in the way...

I learned ADAPT @acgme course in faculty assessment, and honed during @intermtnsim facilitator course.

A month into new AY, might be a good time to revisit! #Feedback First of all.

Very important to understand what feedback is -

It's not about your opinions, it's about observed behaviors compared to standard.

For those in the back - observed compared to standard!

⚠️ if not observed
⚠️ if not using a standard

Hey #MedStudentTwitter

It's that time of year again - preparing applications for residency.

Let's talk about how you can use the personal statement to your advantage!

(preview to the pep talk I'm giving @UofUInternalMed students tonight!) 1/
Every PD will tell you that your personal statement has to be, well, personal.

Take it a step further and make it authentic - it's your opportunity to tell a story, and make it your own!

How do you do that?
Recognize as @gradydoctor stresses - ”Becoming is better than being”

This last month has been difficult to process

I’ve struggled with the insane amount of data and the enormity of the situation, but even more so I’ve struggled fitting it all into my worldview

Then, I remembered @factfulness

Here are 10 instincts we can all hone
#MedTwitter 1️⃣ Gap Instinct

Stories can paint dramatic portraits of gaps between two groups - but in reality there is almost always an overlap and majority live in between

❗️beware comparisons of averages
❗️beware comparisons of extremes
❗️remember looking down from above distorts view

I love to provide structure for my learners. A couple years ago I adopted a set of rules for rounds and ward teams. These continue to evolve.

I share them on day 1, and refer back to them frequently while on service.
👇

#TeamRules #MedEd
What are your #teamrules? Rule 1: We treat patients, not diseases or numbers.

Always always put the disease and number into context for that specific patient. And get to know the patient.

It’s good medicine, and makes the job so much more interesting.

Calling on #MedTwitter #MedEd and awesome #MedEducators

Last year, I put together an infographic with links to resources for MS4 students on medicine rotation

I want to update, so send me your best links for students to use on inpatient rotations to make an improved v2.0! 1/n

Where do you get the best scut sheets?

#MedStudentTwitter #IMResidency

It’s Personal Statement Season!

I help review med student statements and have a few thoughts to share to hopefully help students/faculty along the way.

Its a thread.

👉awesome PDs can chime in @carolinemilneMD @abbyCCim @CincyIM @AmyOxentenkoMD 1⃣Big Picture
The personal statement is an opportunity to weave together
* highlights from CV
* experiences
* personal attributes
Into a cohesive story that explains
- Why you are going into IM
- What you can bring to a program
#IM_PSTips

I want to put a 🙌 out to #MedTwitter

I may not tweet a lot but I do follow and gain quite a bit so I want to share how it has changed the way I carry myself and provide care.

It’s a thread. 2/
Patient asks the case manager when the doctor is going to see him

I spent 30 minutes updating him earlier that day 🤔

Pre-twitter: ok
Post-twitter: Sir, I’m in charge of your care, tell me a bit more about why you didn’t think I was your doctor.
