Gender discrimination exists in medicine. The challenge in front of us is what actions will we (health authorities, orgs, physicians) collectively take to change it. @KimKellyMD @DocMCohen @EquityinMed have solutions- let’s listen.

To mark International Women's Day, we spoke with our Emergency Department Chiefs, Dr. @JoanFC & @DrCarolynSnider, about their paths to leadership, the barriers for women in emergency medicine, and why a medical career ‘doesn’t have a shelf-life.’ #IWD2022

Thank you for this @cpso_ca & @SarooSharda_MD. Love the perspective from Toba Balogun on allyship- it's not about knowing everything, it's about being willing to listen and to learn 🙌🏽
Anti-Black racism is a public health crisis. It affects both physicians & patients in profound ways, potentially contributing to inadequate care & poor health outcomes for Black patients. https://t.co/wyDZ7eBPTP

Excellent empiric commentary on the discrimination faced by women of colour in professional workplaces.
White men swim comfortably with the current — while women of color struggle to swim against it.
