We are continuing to celebrate International Women's Day this week and we're celebrating our AMA women who have generously shared their experiences as women in medicine.
Our next post is highlighting @yourAMSA President Dr Tish Sivagnanan!

Presenting today at #RMA22 on rural medical student advocacy with @all__that__jas and @GuyJeffery3 on behalf of @yourAMSA - and then later this afternoon I will be speaking individually in a soapbox titled “rural background students - the rural workforce solution?”

General Practice is the backbone of Australia's health care system. We need to ensure that medical graduates are attracted to a career in general practice. @yourAMSA

I had the privilege of asking @Mark_Butler_MP a question at @ama_media #AMANatCon and then chatting to @niltiac further about what needs to be done @yourAMSA smh.com.au/healthcare/health…

The @yourAMSA President Address at #AMANatCon always a highlight. Very glad it was brought back into the agenda this year because @jasminemdavis96 had a powerful call for diversity and equity in medicine, from entry into training to ongoing support for all, quote below: – at Sydney, New South Wales

Dr Chris Moy, deputy head of @ama_vice, explains what needs to be done to save hospitals that are crumbling under the pressure of patient demand. #TheProjectTV

Increasing #medicalstudent numbers will NOT solve #workforce issues. It is simplistic to suggest that this will help. It has been trialled and it has failed to provide the type of doctors we need in the location we need them. (A thread) @yourAMSA @ama_media

This week @WHO reported 136 attacks on healthcare in #Ukraine. Together with @ACMHN @RANZCP @acemonline @AcademyCAH @AHPA_AU @yourAMSA we condemn attacks on health workers and facilities in Ukraine - and wherever they occur. Full statement bit.ly/381dNmw #NotATarget

Increasing #medicalschool numbers without #workforcemodelling, #data or a plan to provide #internships and #specialtytraining options is #shortsighted and extremely #irresponsible. Our training pipeline is full of bottlenecks and this #Budget is only making things worse. #CSPs

Grateful to be able to attend @QandA tonight to hear an important discussion about #anxiety and our #mentalhealthsystem - it’s clear more needs to be done in funding a functioning and sustainable system that serves those who need it most. 1/4

A timely reminder from @NeelaJan that so-called 'elective' surgery is essential surgery. Ongoing cancellations of elective surgeries place overwhelming burdens on patients, staff, and the entire health system.
Elective surgery can’t be the redundancy in our public health system - the thing we switch off when we (repeatedly) run out of time/beds/money/staff.
It needs to be prioritised as a core part of our health system.
The system needs redundancy built in.

Sharing isn’t always caring. A real gift to the kids is teaching them to make healthy choices. #SicklySweet

Strong social connections are important for physical and #mentalhealth. As healthcare professionals, colleagues often understand the challenges we face and may be going through the same experiences themselves. Read more about connectedness here: bit.ly/3Fow73X
