Great idea! Much better CME than many “required” CMEs.

The rigid path to board certification unfairly impacts women. Some delay pregnancy. Delivering can mean a year's delay. It doesn't have to be that way. Please share your thoughts on my Viewpoint in @JAMASurgery. https://t.co/95tJpqSDt0…

Thank you @GlobeOpinion for publishing my op-ed on the persistent gender pay gap. "Most referring doctors — especially men — refer patients to male surgeons. With 1 exception:...lower-valued [referrals go] to the female surgeons." @TheOpEdProject

In male-dominated fields, women continue to be undervalued in the workplace. A male standard is the default in fields built by men for men.

Congrats @drheatherfurnas & team - Thx for exploring Implicit Gender Bias among Plastic Surgeons! Many or most - (all?) - of us are affected by beliefs around traditional gender roles. Better understanding helps us reap benefits of talent & improve job satisfaction! #MedTwitter
"In plastic surgery, we must support women in their dual role as parents and plastic surgeons, without considering that they are less committed to their careers than men." -Our @prsjournal paper: https://t.co/KilPbxxLc3

Be Nice! "Medicine has long been built around a rigid, male-dominated hierarchy that tolerates brusque behavior from the physicians on top—at the expense of those who aren’t male and aren’t doctors." @MassGeneralNews #medicine @AMWADoctors
