I know a good idea when I steal one. At the end of every chapter of the "How To Read A Head CT" comic, there's a brief drawing lesson to reinforce key concepts. The brilliant EM doc @PhysicianDoodle came up w/ this memorable way of learning clinical ACA/MCA/PCA stroke findings.

In the majority of medical conferences gender imbalance exists for speakers. At SAM we've focused on this for a very long time. At https://t.co/X3Mj1SPbi1 over 50% of our speakers are female. #nomanels @SueManby @VickyKomrower @TamK2012 @PrinjaPaarul @TashKelly5 @MoniChoudhury7

I can't help wondering if the outcome would have been different for a doctor of different race or gender. 🤔🤔🤔 #UnconsciousBias

LONDON BABY! Register for https://t.co/X3Mj1T6MGB. We are indebted to our London committee for driving the SAMLondon bus @AcuteMedEd & @TamK2012 AND to our wonderful SAM Council @nickscr1 @SueManby @VickyKomrower @acutemed2 @WhebleMJ for steering SAM forward on its 21st birthday.

There are many great reasons to join us in person for #SAMlondon, but we are also taking COVID seriously so everyone attending in person is also getting a special SAM face mask @acutemedicine @AcuteMedEd @KelhamSlinger @nickscr1 @SueManby @VickyKomrower @acutemed2 @TamK2012

'Equality & Diversity' is our theme for https://t.co/X3Mj1T6MGB on 5-6 Oct. Our conference is representative of our SAM with over 50% of female speakers & over 35% BAME. Join us as we celebrate equality & multiculturalism in acute medicine! @TamK2012 @AcuteMedEd @nickscr1
