I chose my specialty specifically to be part of a women majority surgical field. In this issue of @NIBjournal I shared my personal experience as a woman surgeon, caring (nearly exclusively) for women patients, surrounded by women colleagues and staff. nibjournal.org/voices/metoo_…

To improve patient care, we need to more consistently consider sex and gender when researching conditions that impact women and men. This includes disaggregating and reporting data based on sex. @JanineClaytonMD @AMWADoctors @SexGenderHealth @KUHospital @nih_niam

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.
