This is very concerning.
International data show a concerning increase in regressive attitudes towards women leaders, especially among young men.
Trust in women’s leadership is declining when it is most needed for health, write @jocalynclark @feminineupheave

For the last 17 years I’ve been doing everything I can to fix health care for as many people as possible. It’s time for me to launch a new company and a new chapter with Lucky Sage.

HEI professor @julia_abelson identified a patient engagement skills gap. With her team, she developed a new microcredential called Engagement and Partnering for People-Centred Care. We spoke about its unique career value: hei.healthsci.mcmaster.ca/ne…

Interesting study on breast cancer survivorship guidelines showing a lack of focus on patients’ social needs by Krista Ariello from Canada. @CancerCareMASCC
Great example of a virtual group medical visit in survivorship care by @NiharikaDixit16 among a high need low income group. Highly effective and impressive participation rates around 95%!
Insightful presentation by @rayychan at @CancerCareMASCC on tailoring cancer care guidelines for resource limited settings. Supportive care should be considered essential (e.g., basic and core)
Great example of cultural adaptation of an online resource for cancer carers in a low resource setting by @OlindaSantin at @CancerCareMASCC
Enjoying @CancerCareMASCC in Lille France after a difficult month. This morning at breakfast, a hotel staff handed me a take-way bag with a croissant after noticing that I had not picked up my daily treat. It’s the thoughtful gestures in life that make all the difference.
Great panel at @CancerCareMASCC on addressing digital divide in low and middle income countries. @EnriqueSoto8 reports older adults are often excluded from digital health trials. Shows effective use of smart-phone app and wearables in older adult pop in Mexico.
Excited to be joining @YsabellaVan as the Co-Chair of the @CancerCareMASCC Study Group in Digital Health! Thanks to the study group members for a great kick-off meeting. Please reach out with any other project ideas. We look forward to collaborating with you all!
