About surgeons who are women. Despite untold challenges they remain dedicated to their profession. And are willing to keep saving lives through storytelling.

These 'webextras' were created to highlight the themes ran through our interviews with #surgeonswhoarewomen. Ultimately all of the barriers faced by women can be distilled into this - "it's just a different standard for women." #ILookLikeaSurgeon #BreaktheBias #MedTwitter

Analysis of 25K residents demonstrates increasing intersectionality is associated w/ surgery training attrition. UIM women were most at risk. Faculty & resident diversity appear to be associated. @AnnalsofSurgery @heatheryeomd #MedTwitter @WomenSurgeons journals.lww.com/annalsofsur…

Replying to @temkins @1001cuts
True in every aspect of medicine. Not just surgery. And the only thing wrong with this video is the female doc would be adding more please/thank you/sorry to every request to garner support and still be perceived this way.

This is hilarious yet sadly reminiscent of so many of our experiences. Correspond with real life and our findings in this paper: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3114… Thanks @DrJRubenstein and to @HopeFeldmanMD for sharing it with me! @WomenInThoracic @WomenSurgeons #ILookLikeASurgeon

OK. Besides the fact that I need to get over that I hate my recorded voice (I really sound like this?) I am jammed to think that this podcast could help patients with #endometriosis get earlier referrals and better care. Thank you @thecurbsiders! Also 💕 @IrisWangMD @EndoWhat
🦪 Looking for some #endometriosis pearls? Tune in to episode #436 with Dr. Cope and Dr. Green @isabelgreenMD of @mayoclinic #meded #medtwitter Here’s a brief clip from our latest episode! 📹

FINALLY watched @1001cuts. Proud of @temkins for highlighting so much of what we all know and experience. So much still unsaid. So many nuances to discrimination. 💯 agree with how this will not stand for the next generation. Nope. No ma'am. Proud to lead an amazing fellowship.
