Saw this @NEJM article today: physicians in academics continue to be promoted less, & it has actually become worse in recent years. @womenMDinanesth @WomenInCTAnes @WomenSurgeons @500WIM @ICUwomen @AMWADoctors @PROWDWomen @WomenInPMR https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMsa1916935

Makes it disheartening when you think about the attrition of physicians from academia...this study doesn’t account for those & that means the numbers are likely even worse than what the study shows. @AmyPearsonMD @HarrietHopfMD @MelissaEBauer1 @arghavan_salles @dremilym

Additionally, systemic life imbalances placed upon physicians given #COVIDー19 will make this even worse. are more likely to step back from careers (directly or indirectly) than @LindaHertzberg @RosenbergerDoro @EbonyJHilton_MD @SByerlyMD @KristinaLGoff @shahlasi

This means we need AGGRESSIVE efforts to #RecruitHer #SponsorHer #PromoteHer to turn this tide. What has been done in the past isn’t working. We can’t ignore this. #HerTimeIsNow #BeEthical @JulieSilverMD @RUBraveEnough @SashaShillcutt @KellyCawcuttMD @EMARIANOMD @DrSinhaEsq

Commit to #genderequity #MoreThanOne #HeForShe . Data & research on gender& racial bias/perceptions/disparities needs to be considered legitimate instead of being relegated to minimal dissemination. It’s a real issue. It’s a fact. @TomVargheseJr @slsteinmd1 @emilysharpe
