 | Dr. Atasha Jordan, MBA @AtashaJordan @womeninmedchat @petradMD @BriChristophers Hi! I'm Atasha, a psych resident in Philly. I'm wishing best of luck to all the medical students starting up this school year! Feel free to reach out to me directly with questions about navigating med school! #womeninmedicine |
 | Jennifer Caputo-Seidler, MD @jennifermcaputo @womeninmedchat @petradMD @BriChristophers Hello! I’m Jen, hospitalist in Tampa #WomenInMedicine |
 | Shreya P. Trivedi MD, MHPE @ShreyaTrivediMD @Uppieup @womeninmedchat @petradMD @BriChristophers What! #WomeninMedicine chats are for everyone in medicine! |
 | Grace Oliver, MD @GraceOliverMD @womeninmedchat @petradMD @BriChristophers Hey everybody, it's been a while! I'm Grace, a family medicine intern in Kansas City and big fan of @BriChristophers. 😆 I manage the @MedHumChat account and also write for @sheMDTweets <3 #WomenInMedicine |
| #WomenInMedicine Chat @womeninmedchat Feel free to keep introducing yourselves as we get started with Q1: The first pointer in Part 1 of the series is, "make a list of things you will not give up during medical school." What was/is on your list? What do you wish had been? #WomenInMedicine https://t.co/HeX7JL1U46 |
| Priyanka V. Chugh, MD, MS @AntiWheatGirl @MGraceOliver @womeninmedchat @petradMD @BriChristophers @MedHumChat @sheMDTweets It's been a while for me too! Intern year is making it tough to get on for a chat :) #WomenInMedicine |
 | Dr. PNW Ex-pat (she/her) @katie_harmoney @MGraceOliver @womeninmedchat @petradMD @BriChristophers @MedHumChat @sheMDTweets 'Ello all. Long time no tweet. I'm a peds heme-onc and palliative attending. #WomenInMedicine |
 | Ali Mientus @amientus04 @womeninmedchat A1: I've always loved running/playing soccer. During MS1, I felt guilty any time I took time to exercise. I got back to it in MS2, and by dedicated Step studying, I was probably in the best shape of my life. Such a great release for stress, and a gift for myself! #womeninmedicine |
| Ariela Marshall MD @AMarshallMD @womeninmedchat A1. Hang onto in #medschool 1. At least one hobby 2. Reading for fun 3. Keeping in touch w family and friends (even if less often) 4. Some semblance of healthy diet, some exercise 5. #selfcare #WorkLifeBalance #WomenInMedicine This will all help reduce #burnout! |
| Grace Oliver, MD @GraceOliverMD @womeninmedchat A1 The biggest things on my list in med school were getting enough sleep, exercising, and pursuing passion projects even when I felt busy to keep me engaged with my core values. Mostly Maslow's hierarchy of needs type stuff to be honest! #WomenInMedicine |
| Jennifer Caputo-Seidler, MD @jennifermcaputo A1 I wish I’d made this list. Would have included reading fiction, baking, and dance. I felt so much pressure to spend every spare moment studying I didn’t continue or grow my hobbies in Med school #WomenInMedicine |
 | KaraPepperMD @KaraPepperMD @womeninmedchat A1: My boyfriend (now husband) Exercise Creative pursuits #womeninmedicine |
| Annie Massart @Annie_Massart_ @womeninmedchat A1: I don't think I had one of those lists. I wish I had! I wish I'd been better about getting consistent exercise and fresh fruit/veggies. I'm trying to be better about self-care now. #WomenInMedicine |
 | Erin Lincoln, MD @LadyEMSMD A1: I kept family time on, almost by default. I have kids who need my time. I also still tried to cook/bake regularly because I enjoy it! #WomenInMedicine |
| Ariela Marshall MD @AMarshallMD @SaraBelPonMD @womeninmedchat Exactly! Hard to commit to regular schedule but fit all of this in at least couple times a week! #WomenInMedicine |
| Lauren Kuwik MD @LaurenKuwikMD @womeninmedchat (1) fruits vegetables and exercise = can’t let your health go down the tubes. (2) time for family and close friends (3) integrity and my inner sense of what is right #WomenInMedicine |
 | Stephanie Louka @StephLoukaMD @womeninmedchat A1: EM here - was a career switcher. Wish I’d committed to continuing to paint and sew. In retrospect this would have been a great stress reliever. Just now getting back into painting 9 years after starting med school. #WomenInMedicine |
 | Renee Dversdal @DRsonosRD @womeninmedchat Hi there! Renee Dversdal, hospitalist here from OHSU in Portland. A1: time w friends & family was on my list. What wasn't, that I wish had been, was filling the tank & caring for myself: exercise, mental diastole, mindfulness. #womeninmedicine |
| Dr. PNW Ex-pat (she/her) @katie_harmoney @womeninmedchat A1: Though I obviously studied at home, I decided early on that if it came down to medicine or my marriage, my marriage would win every time. Fortunately, I have a very supportive spouse, who is my best friend. #WomenInMedicine |
 | Otter Cat, DO (she/her) @Dr_Jaded @womeninmedchat @petradMD @BriChristophers Hey - anonymous dr. Worked in NE correctional system and have recently relocated, also unsure what I have to offer except a little realness and a touch of bitterness (loved med school, mixed residency relationship) #womeninmedicine |
 | Kelly Cawcutt MD MS @KellyCawcuttMD @womeninmedchat A1: I didn’t have a list. I wish I had. List the important activities & people for fulfilling your life/filling your bucket. Exercise, fun, vacation, time w family & friends, etc. Since then I’ve learned to put these on my calendar like any other commitment. #WomenInMedicine |
| Briana Christophers, PhD @BriChristophers 💯 agree #WomenInMedicine |
| Grace Oliver, MD @GraceOliverMD @AliMientus @womeninmedchat The GUILT was the worst part! It was hard to teach myself to stop feeling guilty when I did literally anything besides study, even when it was sleep/exercise/otherwise nonnegotiable human activities #WomenInMedicine |
| Indu Partha, MD FACP @InduPartha @womeninmedchat A1: I never made one, but the things I would have included: my integrity, my sense of self-respect, my optimism and belief in the inherent goodness of the world, my family bonds, my moral compass, and my ability to laugh and be silly. #WomenInMedicine |
| Ariela Marshall MD @AMarshallMD @jennifermcaputo So many times people (self included) say “I used to do X” or “I used to have hobbies until #medschool” - so sad - becoming a doctor does NOT mean becoming less of a human/yourself! #WomenInMedicine |
| Kelly Cawcutt MD MS @KellyCawcuttMD RT @AMarshallMD: @womeninmedchat A1. Hang onto in #medschool 1. At least one hobby 2. Reading for fun 3. Keeping in touch w family and friends (even if less often) 4. Some semblance of healthy diet, some exercise 5. #selfcare #WorkLifeBalance #WomenInMedicine This will all help reduce #burnout! |
| Priyanka V. Chugh, MD, MS @AntiWheatGirl @womeninmedchat A1: Time w/ my family, partner, & friends was high on my list. I wish I did a better job with friends, especially my longtime friends who I have taken for granted. I wish I spent more time with my hobbies like boxing & music but I get around to it occasionally. #WomenInMedicine |
 | Laura Walker, MD MBA @LauraWalkerMD @womeninmedchat A1 - I didnt have a list. Med training makes you a very different person by the end. Finding what I lost 10 yrs ago has been a process. List I wish I’d had: -Reading for fun -Travel -dedicated family time -intentional friendship maintenance #WomenInMedicine |
| Jennifer Caputo-Seidler, MD @jennifermcaputo Also wish I hadn’t given up dressing the way I like (in dresses/heels) to fit in and hide my femininity #WomenInMedicine |
| Stephanie Louka @StephLoukaMD @womeninmedchat A1b: I did commit to continuing to volunteer with my local rescue squad 🚑 which had lead me to medicine in the first place. Helped me during those hard times M1/M2 remember why I had gone into medicine. #WomenInMedicine |
| Kelly Cawcutt MD MS @KellyCawcuttMD RT @AMarshallMD: @jennifermcaputo So many times people (self included) say “I used to do X” or “I used to have hobbies until #medschool” - so sad - becoming a doctor does NOT mean becoming less of a human/yourself! #WomenInMedicine |
| Briana Christophers, PhD @BriChristophers How do folks feel about the fact that training makes you a different person? #WomenInMedicine |
 | The Ghostwriting Physician 👻⌨️ @doctorakelso21 @womeninmedchat @petradMD @BriChristophers Kelsey, PGY3 in Ohio in family med with a love for repro/OB. Congrats to all the incoming #WomenInMedicine and welcome to the family! |
| Jennifer Caputo-Seidler, MD @jennifermcaputo @AMarshallMD Thankfully I’ve come back to them, but not until I became an attending, that’s too many years to bury a piece of oneself #WomenInMedicine |
| Briana Christophers, PhD @BriChristophers RT @AMarshallMD: @jennifermcaputo So many times people (self included) say “I used to do X” or “I used to have hobbies until #medschool” - so sad - becoming a doctor does NOT mean becoming less of a human/yourself! #WomenInMedicine |
| Dr. PNW Ex-pat (she/her) @katie_harmoney @LauraWalkerMD @womeninmedchat I'd add more time for music to mine. Maybe take more into consideration my friends and family, because I'm so far from home, and am not sure I'll get home before my parents pass, something that eats me up. #WomenInMedicine |
| Ariela Marshall MD @AMarshallMD @BriChristophers Some change is inevitable - but SO important to know who you are BEFORE starting the process so you can regularly remind yourself of it and avoid things that take it away! #WomenInMedicine |
| Briana Christophers, PhD @BriChristophers I love the combo of the abstract and concrete in this list #WomenInMedicine |
| Briana Christophers, PhD @BriChristophers Fill your life bucket! 🍯 #WomenInMedicine |
 | Roxana Daneshjou MD/PhD @RoxanaDaneshjou Eek sorry I’m late #womeninmedicine chat. I’m a derm resident and I just broke a big glass bowl while making dinner and had to go clean that up. |
| Marie Reilly, MD @MarieReillyMD @womeninmedchat A1. I think that it is really heartening that thoughts like these are part of the conversation now for current and incoming medical students. I feel like it is such a positive step and represents part of a culture change #WomenInMedicine |
| Kelly Cawcutt MD MS @KellyCawcuttMD @BriChristophers Training changes us. We evolve as we do with any major learning/life experiences. Intentionally choosing to protect time for what’s important to ourselves outside of medicine helps that evolution to be more positive I believe. #WomenInMedicine |
| Dr. Atasha Jordan, MBA @AtashaJordan @womeninmedchat I didn't make this list but if I did I would have added - Be creative - Dance often - See family regularly - Spend time building female friendships (I actually did 1-3 often-ish, but I wish that I was more purposeful about it) #womeninmedicine |
 | Leticia Kawano-Dourado @leticiakawano 1. Human beings are wired for connection & belonging 2. It's 2019 but still #womenInMedicine have to deal with a lot of hurdles in career advancement only bc we are women. 3. Real chocolate is dark chocolate (85% or above) @GallodeMoraesMD @IPFdoc @DivyaCPatelDO @PhilippeDieude |
| Briana Christophers, PhD @BriChristophers #MedStudentsWhoRead |
| Otter Cat, DO (she/her) @Dr_Jaded @womeninmedchat A1 - I moved away from friends/family so my list was short - stay in a sport (which I was successful) sleep enough & go to church Joyful movement and having grounding outside medicine were my best decisions. #womeninmedicine |
| Roxana Daneshjou MD/PhD @RoxanaDaneshjou @womeninmedchat During medical school, I did not give up exercise. It was my way to de stress. I would run the Stanford Dish or go to the gym, even if it was just for 30 mins. And honestly, if I was in the gym, I was watching TV at the same time ;) #womeninmedicine |
 | Dr. Clover Hemans MD @CHemansMD I’m so proud and honoured to know and admire this Bold, Courageous woman and Past President of the Federation of Medical Women of Canada @FMWCanada @CdnWIM @WomenOMA #WomenInMedicine #womeninleadership |
| Dr. PNW Ex-pat (she/her) @katie_harmoney @womeninmedchat A1, part 2 - as mentioned elsewhere, I'd have taken my family into consideration when making career choices. I like my field, but am so far from home and family. #WomenInMedicine |
| Dr. Atasha Jordan, MBA @AtashaJordan @BriChristophers @MGraceOliver @womeninmedchat I can't live (happily) without sleeping so that was a given. I successfully made it through med school (and residency so far) getting ~7hrs of sleep per night! #WomenInMedicine |
| Ariela Marshall MD @AMarshallMD @MarieReillyMD @womeninmedchat Absolutely! In my #medschool we were handed a card with the behavioral health contact info, told “many become depressed in #medschool” and thats about it! Culture change is SO essential for reducing #burnout and depression in doctors! #WomenInMedicine |
| #WomenInMedicine Chat @womeninmedchat Great insights everyone, now it's time for Q2: How did you go about building up your business casual/professional wardrobe as a #medicalstudent? Any specific items or brands that you highly recommend? #WomenInMedicine https://t.co/uxXt3NQLko |
| Briana Christophers, PhD @BriChristophers @womeninmedchat A1. My list includes 🔸️talking w my partner 🔸️reading 🔸️doing things to benefit my community 🔸️tea time w friends 🔸️slowly getting back into photography which I have done for 11 years #WomenInMedicine |
 | Arghavan Salles, MD, PhD @arghavan_salles RT @DrHowardLiu: We can change this in #medicine. The right term is #doctor unless your #WomenInMedicine colleague tells you otherwise! |
| Briana Christophers, PhD @BriChristophers Sleep is important! #WomenInMedicine |
| Dr. PNW Ex-pat (she/her) @katie_harmoney @AtashaJordan @BriChristophers @MGraceOliver @womeninmedchat Omg sleep. If there's one skill I got in med school, residency, and tell I fellowships, it's the ability to sleep anywhere, almost to a fault. #WomenInMedicine |
| Lauren Kuwik MD @LaurenKuwikMD @womeninmedchat One other thing I would add “don’t give up your family plans”. I didn’t have children until residency but if that was something I wanted to do in medical school I would’ve just gone for it. This is your own career you are building. #WomenInMedicine |
| Annie Massart @Annie_Massart_ @womeninmedchat A2: Marshall's and TJ Maxx were my friend. Also, eBay! I bought many work tops from eBay in med school. I had a few pairs of nice pants so as long as I could rotate enough tops through, I felt prepared. #WomenInMedicine |
| Jennifer Caputo-Seidler, MD @jennifermcaputo A2 Amazon has a great selection of dresses, reasonably priced ~$20, and a dress is so easy, 1 piece, no matching required and you instantly look put together #WomenInMedicine |
| Ali Mientus @amientus04 @womeninmedchat A2: Lots of hand-me-downs and clearance racks! I bought clothes that you could be dressed up for work or dressed down for fun. I love Old Navy's dress pants, and they're frequently on sale! #WomenInMedicine |
| Priyanka V. Chugh, MD, MS @AntiWheatGirl @womeninmedchat A2: JCrew Factory! They have a lot of deals, sizes that work for all heights #tallpantslife & a lot of great basics that you can rewear. I literally had a few pairs of black pants & a handful of basic shirts that I could wear under a white coat. Rinse & repeat! #WomenInMedicine |
| Dr. PNW Ex-pat (she/her) @katie_harmoney @womeninmedchat A2: ok, I'm a little miffed that we're talking about fashion as medical professionals, but meh. I love TJ Maxx, Eddie Bauer clearance, Brooks Brothers factory store sales. #WomenInMedicine |
| Stephanie Louka @StephLoukaMD @womeninmedchat A2: I actually trimmed down my professional wardrobe - used to wear suits to work every day and found I needed more scrub space in the closet. 🤷🏼♀️ Kept 3 suits for residency interviews. @BananaRepublic was always a sure bet for crisp lines and durable fabrics #WomenInMedicine |
| The Ghostwriting Physician 👻⌨️ @doctorakelso21 RT @AMarshallMD: @womeninmedchat A1. Hang onto in #medschool 1. At least one hobby 2. Reading for fun 3. Keeping in touch w family and friends (even if less often) 4. Some semblance of healthy diet, some exercise 5. #selfcare #WorkLifeBalance #WomenInMedicine This will all help reduce #burnout! |
| Briana Christophers, PhD @BriChristophers Get those bargain buys! #WomenInMedicine |
| Ariela Marshall MD @AMarshallMD @womeninmedchat A2. In #medschool my favorites were -Career section H&M -Ann Taylor Loft -Sales at Banana Republic -Comfort shoes = Clarks, Dansko Now also: -White House Black Market -Discount designers at RueLaLa -Used luxury at RealReal -Shoes Cole Haan, boots Aquitalia #WomenInMedicine |
 | Hina Chaudhry, MD @Hinaheartdoc RT @ErinMichos: Yup. There's #Cardiology showing up in top three for #GenderPayGap in non-surgical specialties in Medicine. I feel you women in neurology, I feel your #lostincome. 😢 |
| Jennifer Caputo-Seidler, MD @jennifermcaputo @AtashaJordan @BriChristophers @MGraceOliver @womeninmedchat Definitely sleep, from Med school all the way through to being an attending I get a solid 7 hours a night #selfcare #WomenInMedicine |
| Kelly Cawcutt MD MS @KellyCawcuttMD @womeninmedchat A1 - ok, first don’t conform to a look that doesn’t make you feel confident. I heard I didn’t look like a Dr so tried to change. It really negatively impacted me bc it wasn’t ME. Professional doesn’t mean 💵. Choose items you love & can mix/match. #WomenInMedicine |
 | Sonja @sonjashining @womeninmedchat A2. @thredUP and Loft are great resources. #WomenInMedicine |
 | Dr. Lawren is Openly Ya Ya @pedsmd2b @womeninmedchat A1 definitely didn't/don't have a list. But I guess starting today top of my list is that I won't give up my sanity 🙃! #womeninmedicine |
| Briana Christophers, PhD @BriChristophers @katie_harmoney @womeninmedchat I hear you - but it's something that I have heard from many low-income med students that they were not prepared for: having enough business casual or professional if your program requires you to wear them for clerkships. Hence the question #WomenInMedicine |
| Lauren Kuwik MD @LaurenKuwikMD @womeninmedchat As a student I wore a ton of cardigans and pants. Now I wear lots of dresses and skirts. Found a ton of blazers and pencil skirts at a nice consignment store. Also the ponte sheath dress by lands end is awesome. Wait for 40% coupon. Add blazer/or blouse under #WomenInMedicine |
| Priyanka V. Chugh, MD, MS @AntiWheatGirl @womeninmedchat My interview season suits (I got 2) were from regular J Crew. Not cheap at all 😭 but fit really well and I'm hoping will last me a while. #WomenInMedicine |
| Briana Christophers, PhD @BriChristophers Love this advice #WomenInMedicine |
| KaraPepperMD @KaraPepperMD @womeninmedchat A2: Found brands that fit me well so I could order online when on sale. Never had time or money to shop! Stick with basic pants and tops. No V-neck or short skirts that are completely hidden under a white coat. You’ll look naked! #womeninmedicine |
| Marie Reilly, MD @MarieReillyMD @womeninmedchat A2. In medical school, I really liked wearing Dansko shoes on all rotations. Now, as an attending, I use @TrunkClub, which is such a convenient option for busy professionals. #WomenInMedicine |
| Briana Christophers, PhD @BriChristophers RT @AMarshallMD: @womeninmedchat A2. In #medschool my favorites were -Career section H&M -Ann Taylor Loft -Sales at Banana Republic -Comfort shoes = Clarks, Dansko Now also: -White House Black Market -Discount designers at RueLaLa -Used luxury at RealReal -Shoes Cole Haan, boots Aquitalia #WomenInMedicine |
| Otter Cat, DO (she/her) @Dr_Jaded @womeninmedchat A2: Savers/costco for pants, banana republic and Costco for tops - the bpub washable sweaters are easy go tos for under white coats and Bass outlet shoes (upgraded to Alegrias 1st yr residency y and just got rid of them 6 years later) #womeninmedicine |
| Ariela Marshall MD @AMarshallMD @BriChristophers @katie_harmoney @womeninmedchat Agree - it may not be an official #careerdevelopment issue and on surface may seem stereotypically ultra-female but fact is we are STILL judged on looks and the less mental time/space we spend on them by having set affordable wardrobe choices the better! #WomenInMedicine |
| Dr. Lawren is Openly Ya Ya @pedsmd2b @womeninmedchat A2 Black Friday shopping is the best! We also have a lot of thrift stores in DC. Then trying to eat healthily so that I don't have to buy new clothes every year...Also asking for store gift cards for my birthday helps with cost! I like Ann taylor loft. #womeninmedicine |
| Priyanka V. Chugh, MD, MS @AntiWheatGirl @AndreaJArreguin @womeninmedchat The black jean trick is a major key. Way more comfortable than dress pants and no one can ever tell under a white coat #WomenInMedicine |
 | Mark Shapiro, MD @ETSshow @LaurenKuwikMD @womeninmedchat Mark Shapiro here. This question is insightful and brilliant. The answers should be read aloud at medical school orientations & graduations. This is essential stuff we can teach those coming along to help them have the careers & lives they aspire to! #WomenInMedicine |
| Annie Massart @Annie_Massart_ A really fantastic point. So many unforeseen challenges along the way! |
| Dr. Lawren is Openly Ya Ya @pedsmd2b @womeninmedchat @petradMD @BriChristophers Came to the chat late, so late introducing! I'm Lawren, current med student in DC. Also a cellist, deep sleeper, protester and future #warren2020 voter :) #womeninmedicine |
| Lauren Kuwik MD @LaurenKuwikMD @jbcowartmd @womeninmedchat Yes. In real life practice my footwear of totally different. In Med school and residency it was Danskos with everything. #WomenInMedicine |
 | Christina Dewey, MD, FAAP @PedsMamaDoc @womeninmedchat #WomenInMedicine |
| Briana Christophers, PhD @BriChristophers #MedEd folks 👀 |
| Lauren Kuwik MD @LaurenKuwikMD @AntiWheatGirl @womeninmedchat And can recycle your suit coat as a blazer over dresses. This is what I do with my 15 year old Anne Taylor suit coat. #WomenInMedicine |
| Indu Partha, MD FACP @InduPartha @AMarshallMD @BriChristophers @katie_harmoney @womeninmedchat 2/ to their future pts, faculty, peers, housestaff. Don't want some to feel ignored or less prepared b/c of clothing "inequalities." Helps to level the playing field of sorts. #WomenInMedicine |
| Uppie MPH, FNP @Uppieup This is an amazing tweetorial about gender pay-gap in medicine. |
| Dr. Lawren is Openly Ya Ya @pedsmd2b @MGraceOliver @womeninmedchat OMG yes Old Navy prices are definitely for optimal med student budget. And the clothes last for a while. #womeninmedicine |
 | Dr. Suzy @DrSuzyFeigofsky @PedsMamaDoc @womeninmedchat A1: I wish I had a list back then. I completely lost myself trying to study. I realize now that it was likely low self esteem and early #impostersyndrome #WomenInMedicine |
| #WomenInMedicine Chat @womeninmedchat Great advice everybody, now it's time for Q3: What was your study strategy? Did it change for different topics? #WomenInMedicine https://t.co/L9uLSrfDgv |
| Grace Oliver, MD @GraceOliverMD A2 cont: Also on this subject of affordable clothes, H&M will give you 15% off your entire purchase if you bring old/torn up clothes to recycle with no visit limits! #WomenInMedicine |
| Renee Dversdal @DRsonosRD @womeninmedchat A2: Outlet mall Loft or Gap or Banana Republic, Target, sometimes even Costco had good work finds. Nice resale stores. Rare luck at H & M. Still do all those things as an attending actually...along w mixing in some nicer stuff too...still got those loans! #womeninmedicine |
 | Mark W. Wilson, MD @markwwilsonmd RT @Uppieup: This is an amazing tweetorial about gender pay-gap in medicine. |
| Roxana Daneshjou MD/PhD @RoxanaDaneshjou @LaurenKuwikMD @jbcowartmd @womeninmedchat I got dansko sneakers! They had good arch support for standing for long hours but also allowed running in case of a code. #womeninmedicine |
| Lauren Kuwik MD @LaurenKuwikMD @womeninmedchat Attend lectures, take notes. Review with a study partner/study group and teach each other their lesson. I went to Med school on the cusp of recorded lectures. Preferred being in the familiarity of my class years 1 and 2 #WomenInMedicine |
| Ali Mientus @amientus04 @womeninmedchat A3: I remember being very frustrated in MS1 when people would say "Just find what works best for you!" when I just wanted them to tell me a specific answer. But they were completely right. Some friends could glance at powerpoints once and be fine. Not me! #womeninmedicine |
 | Aileen Arevalo @aileentarevalo @womeninmedchat @petradMD @BriChristophers Little late to the chat, but hello everyone! I'm Aileen, MS2 @ Charles R Drew/UCLA. Hoping to give some useful advice to our new healthcare leaders #womeninmedicine |
| Dr. Lawren is Openly Ya Ya @pedsmd2b @Wickersham_Eliz @womeninmedchat YES comfortable shoes are a must! Crocs ballet flats are the most comfortable shoes I own #womeninmedicine |
| Jennifer Caputo-Seidler, MD @jennifermcaputo A3 Attend lecture, review lecture notes, review topic in first aid, then make high yield outline of topic for exam study #WomenInMedicine |
| Dr. Lawren is Openly Ya Ya @pedsmd2b @AntiWheatGirl @womeninmedchat Honestly if I could afford to only wear J crew I would. I love J crew so much. If I make it through and get that MD, I will exclusively be shopping there lol #womeninmedicine |
| Annie Massart @Annie_Massart_ @womeninmedchat A3: I've always found it really helpful to write out information for myself. Sometimes as notes, sometimes as schemas. Writing it down made it stick more. Also,if classes were taught by bad speakers,I'd skip class and read at home. You know how you learn best. #WomenInMedicine |
| Grace Oliver, MD @GraceOliverMD A3 Everybody is different, so my advice would be to just go talk to your program's learning specialist. They probably have one somewhere, perhaps in the tutoring program. It's their whole job to help you learn! #WomenInMedicine |
| Renee Dversdal @DRsonosRD @womeninmedchat A2: Outlet mall Loft or Gap or Banana Republic, Target, sometimes even Costco had good work finds. Nice resale stores. Rare luck at H & M. Still do all those things as an attending actually...along w mixing in some nicer stuff too...still got those loans! #WomenInMedicine |
| Lena Carleton, MD (she/her) @lena_carleton @womeninmedchat A3: be congnizant of the point at which your studying is yielding diminishing returns. Maybe it’s time to #TakeABreak or even just #StopStudying and do literally anything else #womeninmedicine |
| Briana Christophers, PhD @BriChristophers Learn about learning! #WomenInMedicine |
| Christina Dewey, MD, FAAP @PedsMamaDoc @womeninmedchat A2: I originally matched into surgery: so pretty much only wore scrubs&running shoes . Now I’m Peds - so recommend WASHABLE clothing! My go to used to be BananaRepublic, but now is Athleta, TitleNine & Danskos....🤷🏻♀️ #WomenInMedicine |
| Priyanka V. Chugh, MD, MS @AntiWheatGirl @womeninmedchat It changed for certain topics, but for the most part I found that drawing things out on a whiteboard & making flow diagrams helped me see the big pictures while taking notes/flashcards helped with details. Tip: Mirrors make great whiteboards if you dont have one! #WomenInMedicine |
| Ariela Marshall MD @AMarshallMD @womeninmedchat A3. Honestly - what worked for YOU in college will work in #medschool - dont feel u have to change! For me: TONS of flash cards (all subjects!), in anatomy redrew everything myself, online practice ❓, FirstAid, work w groups before tests, etc #WomenInMedicine |
| KaraPepperMD @KaraPepperMD @womeninmedchat A3: Found friends who studied like I did and would keep me accountable. Found it best to study a bit every day so the days before the test were not crammed. Important to discover your study style (listening, reading, writing, and in my case drawing) #womeninmedicine |
 | sheMD @sheMDTweets Student Doctor Briana Ruiz Christophers (@BriChristophers) shares 9 tips for Taking Care of Yourself while in #MedicalSchool: 9. Think about your financial wellness. https://t.co/DpRTR1i9gy #sheMD #WomenInMedicine #MedStudentTwitter https://t.co/39SBsfaBtP |
| Kelly Cawcutt MD MS @KellyCawcuttMD @womeninmedchat A3 - I took notes & lectures & reading. Then would review them & condense slowly to key points so my pre-test reviews were not going through ALL the notes. Writing helped me focus & remember content. I bought pens I loved in colors to make notes easy to read. #womeninmedicine |
 | Kaishauna Guidry, MD, HMDC @DrMamaKai @womeninmedchat @petradMD @BriChristophers Hello from a southern California hospice physician ✨ #WomenInMedicine |
| Grace Oliver, MD @GraceOliverMD @pedsmd2b @womeninmedchat I may or may not own 4 pairs of their pixie pants... #WomenInMedicine |
| Jennifer Caputo-Seidler, MD @jennifermcaputo @Annie_Massart_ @womeninmedchat I have to hand write information to retain it as well, learned that early about myself and stuck with it #womeninmedicine |
| Briana Christophers, PhD @BriChristophers I didnt even know these existed 🤔 #WomenInMedicine |
| Priyanka V. Chugh, MD, MS @AntiWheatGirl @Annie_Massart_ @pedsmd2b @womeninmedchat Agreed!! Sale time at J crew is my favorite time. And everything there lasts so long that I rationalized all my shopping with that 😂#WomenInMedicine |
| Dr. Lawren is Openly Ya Ya @pedsmd2b @womeninmedchat A3 Depends on the year/material but across the board: review every day, schedule breaks, use spaced repetition, join a study group >=1x/wk, take self-assessments early and frequently, share resources w/other students & ask what other students use #womeninmedicine |
| Briana Christophers, PhD @BriChristophers @KellyCawcuttMD @womeninmedchat I like the key points idea - makes you distill down main concepts and categorize details within those. #WomenInMedicine |
| Kaishauna Guidry, MD, HMDC @DrMamaKai @womeninmedchat A1: All of your creature comforts #WomenInMedicine |
| Lauren Kuwik MD @LaurenKuwikMD RT @lena_carleton: @womeninmedchat A3: @womeninmedchat A3: be congnizant of the point at which your studying is yielding diminishing returns. Maybe it’s time to #TakeABreak or even just #StopStudying and do literally anything else #womeninmedicine |
| Briana Christophers, PhD @BriChristophers @KaraPepperMD @womeninmedchat I am also in the drawing for notes club! #WomenInMedicine |
| Marie Reilly, MD @MarieReillyMD @womeninmedchat A3. I tended study subjects that I was more comfortable with first because they gave me a confidence and competence boost. But, then I would have less time to devote to my areas of weakness. Over time, I learned to tackle the hardest areas first #WomenInMedicine |
| Dr. Lawren is Openly Ya Ya @pedsmd2b @you2nice2me @SaraBelPonMD @womeninmedchat Like all of my workout clothes are from Old Navy. So comfortable and cheap! Clearance rack is usually like 80-90% off. #womeninmedicine |
| Priyanka V. Chugh, MD, MS @AntiWheatGirl @miriampcallahan @womeninmedchat Oh good point...I gotta figure out a good spot to keep it! #WomenInMedicine |
| Dr. Atasha Jordan, MBA @AtashaJordan @womeninmedchat Discount stores like @marshalls @tjmaxx and @Ross_Stores were KEY for building up my wardrobe. I get a ton of compliments on my professional wardrobe and my most expensive items are my dresses which cost $49 #WomeninMedicine https://t.co/9kEeOezxbK |
| Aileen Arevalo @aileentarevalo @womeninmedchat A3: I have certain strategies that don't change but it really depends on reach block. I take all my notes on my laptop, whereas others mostly use their iPads. Small study groups are the best! Also had to learn to pick up on what material was high-yield too. #womeninmedicine |
| Briana Christophers, PhD @BriChristophers @AntiWheatGirl @womeninmedchat Also if you buy a cheap picture frame (larger size) you can also use it as a whiteboard or put diagrams where the "picture" goes and label or fill in blank! #WomenInMedicine |
| Kaishauna Guidry, MD, HMDC @DrMamaKai @womeninmedchat Q2: I found at cute boutique in town. The clearance rack was a goldmine. #WomenInMedicine |
| Dr. Lawren is Openly Ya Ya @pedsmd2b @Annie_Massart_ @womeninmedchat OMG yes, don't force yourself to go to class if you find you can't learn from the lecturer just because "everyone else does it" #womeninmedicine |
| Lauren Kuwik MD @LaurenKuwikMD @DevikaDasMD @womeninmedchat This was also the key to success for me #WomenInMedicine And what a difference between my grades the first month and after I found my study group. |
| Dr. Lawren is Openly Ya Ya @pedsmd2b @MGraceOliver @womeninmedchat Ugh the ONE thing I wish is that the pixie pants fit me. They're soooo cute! But my body is weirdly shaped from years of sports...But I get a lot of other clothes from there :) #womeninmedicine |
| Roxana Daneshjou MD/PhD @RoxanaDaneshjou @womeninmedchat A3: this isn’t cheap to do, but I bought Uworld early and started doing the step 1 questions associated with each block. I did the same during clerkships (for step 2). #womeninmedicine |
| Lauren Kuwik MD @LaurenKuwikMD @you2nice2me @womeninmedchat Yes! Previously HATED group papers and projects. #WomenInMedicine |
| Otter Cat, DO (she/her) @Dr_Jaded @womeninmedchat A3 go to the good lecturers classes, rewrote/drew out things and had a great 2 study buddies who would review with me. I also took frequent breaks and would make sure I understood what I read and learned it right the first time - basics actually mattered #womeninmedicine |
| Briana Christophers, PhD @BriChristophers FYI protect your clothes from moths 🦋 #WomenInMedicine |
| Kaishauna Guidry, MD, HMDC @DrMamaKai @womeninmedchat A3: I created a product from each lecture utilizing the lecturer’s objectives. Product examples: concept map, transcript, PowerPoint, outline. #WomenInMedicine |
| Grace Oliver, MD @GraceOliverMD @pedsmd2b @womeninmedchat Not weird! Your strong, healthy body is too powerful for these pants anyway #WomenInMedicine |
| Dr. Lawren is Openly Ya Ya @pedsmd2b @you2nice2me @womeninmedchat WAIIITTTTTTT. Ann Taylor has student discounts?! 🤯🤯🤯 I definitely don't have the funds currently so I don't think I needed to know this but at the same time I did so thanks! #womeninmedicine |
| Lena Carleton, MD (she/her) @lena_carleton @womeninmedchat A3: I found it helpful to have dedicated study time (phone off, in a quiet room not at home distracted by dishes/laundry/etc), and also dedicated break time. Made sure I was productive during study time and didn’t feel guilty about taking my hard earned breaks #WomenInMedicine |
 | Susan Pitt, MD MPHS @susieQP8 @womeninmedchat A2. Sales! Sales! Sales! And... Ann Taylor Factory Ann Taylor Loft Banana Republic Factory J. Crew Factory #WomenInMedicine |
| #WomenInMedicine Chat @womeninmedchat Awesome recommendations everyone, now it's time for Q4: What were strategies to learn more about different specialties/fields of medicine? #WomenInMedicine https://t.co/7XLc1PEWh0 |
 | Kanika Monga, MD @DrKanikaMonga @womeninmedchat A3: my strategy was discovering my learning style.. I think this changed based on assignments — for OSCEs VS multiple choice #WomenInMedicine https://t.co/YD3vINA0DM |
| Renee Dversdal @DRsonosRD @womeninmedchat A3: falling behind reading other's posts! My study strategy was to rewrite things to help me mentally process. And fight the urge to second guess what I was doing just because others did it differently. #womeninmedicine |
| Briana Christophers, PhD @BriChristophers @you2nice2me @LaurenKuwikMD @womeninmedchat I have to be a little selective with who I study with. Some people's vibe just overwhelms me and makes me feel like I'll never know as much as them and that's not how I wanna feel before a test! #WomenInMedicine |
| Annie Massart @Annie_Massart_ @womeninmedchat A4: Student interest groups. Otherwise, I'd ask residents about their specialties (what they loved, what they hated) during my rotations and try to learn what it was really like. #WomenInMedicine |
| Susan Pitt, MD MPHS @susieQP8 @womeninmedchat A4. I did as many elective rotations as I could and lots of shadowing #WomenInMedicine |
| Renee Dversdal @DRsonosRD @womeninmedchat A4: attend every possible interest group fair, and play close attention in earlier clinical experiences. It's about liking the content, but also liking the people & culture. We're all different! #WomenInMedicine |
| Grace Oliver, MD @GraceOliverMD @womeninmedchat A4 This is tricky. You won't get a chance to see every field in your clerkships, & even the ones you do see aren't necessarily representative of all you could do. EG I chose family medicine seeking a very different path than what was shown to me in my program, #WomenInMedicine 1/ |
| Ariela Marshall MD @AMarshallMD @womeninmedchat A4. Obv main way is rotations years 3-4 but also student interest groups (starting year 1!) and either going through #medschool advisor or cold-emailing attendings in specialties of interest to set up shadowing - the earlier the better! #WomenInMedicine |
| Jennifer Caputo-Seidler, MD @jennifermcaputo A4 student interest groups, would often have panels with practicing physicians talking about specialty and free lunch! #WomenInMedicine |
| Briana Christophers, PhD @BriChristophers CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOURSELF 📢 totally agree, be BOLD and ask! #WomenInMedicine |
 | Sarabeth Broder-Fingert MD, MPH @sbroderfingert Is this question sexist? Do men have to talk about this? #WomenInMedicine |
| Stephanie Louka @StephLoukaMD @womeninmedchat A4: More of a advice than a strategy, but M3 pay close attention to what you dislike as that can often be more important in guiding you to the right specialty than focusing on your likes. #WomenInMedicine |
| Dr. Atasha Jordan, MBA @AtashaJordan @BriChristophers @womeninmedchat @marshalls @tjmaxx @Ross_Stores ooohh great point! Thanks for the nudge. For anyone interested, here's a link to my blog post on how to dress for interviews! It uses some of the same principles I use for dressing every day at work! #WomeninMedicine https://t.co/NlGWPNDYrP |
| Grace Oliver, MD @GraceOliverMD @womeninmedchat but thanks to the @sheMDTweets "why specialty" series and #MedTwitter, I was able to see the many forms various specialties could take, and hear why people chose their field in more detail than you get if you're just chatting with a random attending. #WomenInMedicine 2/2 |
| Dr. PNW Ex-pat (she/her) @katie_harmoney @womeninmedchat A4: ask around. I'm honestly still learning about fields that I didn't know existed. Even within one field, family medicine for example, there are multiple directions that one can take a career. #WomenInMedicine |
| Briana Christophers, PhD @BriChristophers @Annie_Massart_ @womeninmedchat I need to tap into residents more, hopefully when I get more facetime with them during clerkships #WomenInMedicine |
 | Joannie Yeh MD (she/her) @BetaMomma @alisadoc1 Interesting that this is not allowed in certain states. I wonder if some hospital systems still try to put them in there bc the docs don’t know the law? #medtwitter #womeninmedicine #meded |
| Ariela Marshall MD @AMarshallMD @BriChristophers @you2nice2me @LaurenKuwikMD @womeninmedchat Agree - groups can be super helpful if everyone motivated to help one another but once it becomes competitive it is time to move to different group or study alone! #WomenInMedicine |
| Briana Christophers, PhD @BriChristophers I love a good chart #WomenInMedicine #MedEd |
 | Monica Verduzco-Gutierrez, MD @MVGutierrezMD @womeninmedchat A1/ exercise. It help me keep my sanity. And time with my significant other. I’d study in his office #WomenInMedicine |
| Dr. PNW Ex-pat (she/her) @katie_harmoney @womeninmedchat A4: I'm still finding things that, if I were younger, might actually have been a better fit for me. #WomenInMedicine |
| Lauren Kuwik MD @LaurenKuwikMD @womeninmedchat My advice as a volunteer faculty member: Attend medical alumni networking events! We do a specialty Speed dating event where you ask attendings about their specialty. Emails addresses often exchanged. Shadowing as a MS1 or 2 is helpful to identify interests. #WomenInMedicine |
| Aileen Arevalo @aileentarevalo @womeninmedchat A4: We have resident roundtables and research talks which I made an effort to attend. I really didn't know much so this was helpful! MS1s: This is a good place to start to hear about different fields and begin reaching out to mentors or plan for summer research. #womeninmedicine |
| Briana Christophers, PhD @BriChristophers @womeninmedchat A4. Ask around on Twitter! I have learned so much about specialities on here from folks talking about their jobs #WomenInMedicine |
| Priyanka V. Chugh, MD, MS @AntiWheatGirl @womeninmedchat A4: Ask! I loved peds and loved surgery so I wanted to see what peds surgery was like. I met a peds surgeon at our hospital and asked to spend time shadowing - we made an elective and I spent every free afternoon in their clinic. It helped me find my career path! #WomenInMedicine |
| Joannie Yeh MD (she/her) @BetaMomma @womeninmedchat A4: Ask questions of docs I met. Cold email attendings from hospital directory in areas I thought I might be interested in. #womeninmedicine #meded |
| Briana Christophers, PhD @BriChristophers RT @LaurenKuwikMD: @womeninmedchat My advice as a volunteer faculty member: @womeninmedchat My advice as a volunteer faculty member: Attend medical alumni networking events!

| Priyanka V. Chugh, MD, MS @AntiWheatGirl @womeninmedchat I also went to grand rounds from different specialities just to learn! Even has a preclinical student. During peds grand rounds, they talked about pediatric trauma surgery and that's where my interest in surgery began. You can find inspiration anywhere!! #WomenInMedicine |
 | Kristen Terlizzi @kristenterlizzi This story would not be complete without a serious shout out to #WomenInMedicine. There were 20+ MDs involved in my son’s case @StanfordChild, all of which were coincidentally women. Women in #infectiousdisease👩⚕️, women in #peds👩⚕️, women #anes👩⚕️, and #womeninsurgery👩⚕️🙌🏻🏥 |
| Ariela Marshall MD @AMarshallMD @katie_harmoney @womeninmedchat I agree. It is just as important to ask “what is my personality” amd “HOW do I like interacting w patients” than “what do I like on an intellectual level” - those day to day interactions/personality will be your LIFE later! #WomenInMedicine |
| Kanika Monga, MD @DrKanikaMonga @womeninmedchat A4: - shadowing + supplementing with questions (to attendings and residents).. but also accepting that questions may develop overtime. - twitterverse is great to explore fields too (especially those not offered as clerkships at your program) - interest groups #WomenInMedicine |
| Monica Verduzco-Gutierrez, MD @MVGutierrezMD @womeninmedchat A3/ Attended all the lectures Pre-read & highlighted in yellow. During lecture underlined what professor thought was important. Studied in groups some of the time. Flash cards. Stair climber with book at all times #WomenInMedicine |
| Dr. Lawren is Openly Ya Ya @pedsmd2b @womeninmedchat A4 I have straight up googled & emailed local MDs to shadow. Spent my HS sr proj w/cardio & trauma ORs. Now, I talk to MDs abt their lives. Aways/electives will help...& honestly #medtwitter has been an amazing resource I didn't know abt until a few months ago. #womeninmedicine |
| Joannie Yeh MD (she/her) @BetaMomma @womeninmedchat A3: One basic outline study guide. One question book/bank... then take notes in margins of study guide from extra stuff I learned from the questions. Review study guide plus my notes a couple times before test. Didn’t develop study skills until #medschool. #womeninmedicine |
| Briana Christophers, PhD @BriChristophers ⬇️⬇️#WomenInMedicine |
| Marie Reilly, MD @MarieReillyMD @womeninmedchat A4. It's great that med schools are increasingly incorporating clinical experiences into the first two years. I still remember my first patient encounter as a MS1 all these years later! #WomenInMedicine |
 | Marla Carcamo @angel_wings1121 RT @JuliaLClose: #oncology is number 2 in non surgical specialties for salary gap. Spoiler alert: #oncology is number 2 in non surgical specialties for salary gap. Spoiler alert: this is not one of those second best kind of rankings. #WomenInOncology @HemOncWomenDocs |
| Indu Partha, MD FACP @InduPartha @womeninmedchat A4: if you think you may be interested in a field, find someone who does it and ask them if you could talk to them for a bit. Who doesn’t like to talk about themselves?! 😂 #WomenInMedicine |
| Monica Verduzco-Gutierrez, MD @MVGutierrezMD @womeninmedchat A4/ I’ve heard good things about the Undifferentiated podcast. Shadow. Try new things early. #WomenInMedicine |
| Dr. Lawren is Openly Ya Ya @pedsmd2b @SaraBelPonMD @womeninmedchat Great to hear this b/c I already do this and sometimes worry that I'm bothering them...but I figure its my career & don't want to be pigeonholed into a field I don't want...Thx! #womeninmedicine |
| Briana Christophers, PhD @BriChristophers For podcast lovers #WomenInMedicine |
| Lauren Kuwik MD @LaurenKuwikMD @MGraceOliver @womeninmedchat @sheMDTweets Yes the @sheMDTweets “why specialty” series is a great resource #WomenInMedicine |
| #WomenInMedicine Chat @womeninmedchat And last, but not least it's time for Q5: What clinical skills do you think #medicalstudents should try to get under their belt before starting clerkship/rotations? #WomenInMedicine https://t.co/39JFUnfcNG |
| Joannie Yeh MD (she/her) @BetaMomma @womeninmedchat @petradMD @BriChristophers Hi! I’m Joannie, a pediatrician & a proud mom master of okay-ness. I’m currently working on this and would love some feedback on this article and/or tips to include in a talk about contract negotiations. #womeninmedicine https://t.co/Pw90FZjOyQ |
| Dr. Suzy @DrSuzyFeigofsky @womeninmedchat A2: Wear what makes you feel confident. For me, that has evolved over time. It should fit well and make you feel like BOSS 💖 #WomenInMedicine |
| Lauren Kuwik MD @LaurenKuwikMD @womeninmedchat Taking a thorough history. Talking to people are number 1 and 2. #WomenInMedicine |
| Grace Oliver, MD @GraceOliverMD @womeninmedchat A5 This would be my answer for medical school in general too, but students need to get comfortable with 2 things: 1. Being wrong 2. Deciding how to prioritize their time, because no you don't actually have time for all the things #WomenInMedicine |
| Annie Massart @Annie_Massart_ @womeninmedchat A5: Clerkships are where you learn clinical skills. Except talking to people. I think we get really nervous around patients on clerkships and inadvertently forget basic communication skills. Introduce yourself. Ask questions. Asking questions is never wrong. #WomenInMedicine |
| Dr. Lawren is Openly Ya Ya @pedsmd2b @you2nice2me @womeninmedchat Great to know! I'm def trying to keep an open mind, but there are 2-3 specialties that I think are a hard pass. I told my frmr boss (female surgeon) that I didn't have the personality 4 surg & she rolled her eyes and said "there is no personality for surgery" <3 #womeninmedicine |
| Priyanka V. Chugh, MD, MS @AntiWheatGirl @womeninmedchat A5: Honestly, just get comfortable talking to patients/other people in general. Being personable and having good bedside manner are things that aren't easily taught. The rest can be learned! #WomenInMedicine |
| Lauren Kuwik MD @LaurenKuwikMD @InduPartha @womeninmedchat Great advice #WomenInMedicine |
| Indu Partha, MD FACP @InduPartha @womeninmedchat 2/ after all, there is a job to be done, and it is possible to be efficient and compassionate, at the same time. #WomenInMedicine |
| Stephanie Louka @StephLoukaMD @womeninmedchat A5: in EM, Suturing, splinting and basic wound care. Central lines, LPs, intubation sand ultrasound skills come Intern year with no expectation of prior experience. And solid, concise H&P skills. #WomenInMedicine |
| Dr. PNW Ex-pat (she/her) @katie_harmoney @womeninmedchat A5: honestly? How to get more comfortable asking questions. We know you don't know; you're not supposed to know yet, but sometimes, we forget that you don't know. #WomenInMedicine |
| Dr. Lawren is Openly Ya Ya @pedsmd2b @BetaMomma @womeninmedchat Definitely someone who has done the cold emailing since I was 16 yrs old lol The worst thing someone can say is No so I always recommend this to other med students and pre-meds #womeninmedicine |
| Ariela Marshall MD @AMarshallMD @womeninmedchat A5. Best clinical skills for #medstudents: 1. Listen to pts (dont interrupt) 2. Pull up a chair for longer discussions 3. Ask pts about family/support system 4. Prioritize calling consults early 5. Code status talks - listen into these (you will lead in future!) #WomeninMedicine |
| Dr. Lawren is Openly Ya Ya @pedsmd2b #medstudenttwitter take note! #FOAMed We don't have time for all the things 🙃 |
| Marie Reilly, MD @MarieReillyMD @womeninmedchat A5. Aside from entering your third year with a solid physical exam, the clinical skills will all come with time. I think it's important to maintain your curiosity and to remember why you went into medicine to begin with. Everything else falls into place. #WomenInMedicine |
| Lauren Kuwik MD @LaurenKuwikMD RT @AntiWheatGirl: @womeninmedchat A5: @womeninmedchat A5: Honestly, just get comfortable talking to patients/other people in general. Being personable and having good bedside manner are things that aren't easily taught. The rest can be learned! #WomenInMedicine |
| Jennifer Caputo-Seidler, MD @jennifermcaputo A5 being able to take a history which you will be taught to do in the preclinical years and knowing how to interact with other human beings which life will have taught you, the rest of the clinical skills will be learned during the rotations #WomenInMedicine |
| Dr. PNW Ex-pat (she/her) @katie_harmoney @womeninmedchat A5: also, sit down with the patient. Just do it. You'll both appreciate it later. Unless they're coding. Then don't do that. #WomenInMedicine |
| Priyanka V. Chugh, MD, MS @AntiWheatGirl @AMarshallMD @womeninmedchat Yes to pulling up a chair!! And if you're in a tiny room and there's not a chair, there's usually a trashcan, radiator, or window or SOMETHING you can lean on. Changing your body language and not towering over the pt as much as possible is so important! #WomenInMedicine |
 | Lauren @EmpressAPGAR @womeninmedchat As a student, I really struggle with when to ask to practice a clinical skill. The line between learning and using a patient as a test subject feels very fine. #WomenInMedicine |
| Renee Dversdal @DRsonosRD @womeninmedchat A5: comfort in communicating with patients, sharing goals & objectives for clerkship/your time w attending or resident xyz, asking for help/knowing when to ask & that it’s not a failure. You’ll learn the med stuff there. Come primed as a learner & great teammate. #WomeninMedicine |
| Briana Christophers, PhD @BriChristophers Important! #WomenInMedicine |
| Monica Verduzco-Gutierrez, MD @MVGutierrezMD @womeninmedchat A5/ Try out some of the things you may be doing for patients. (As currently I’m doing a bowel prep and 🤢🥴🤮) #WomenInMedicine |
| Ariela Marshall MD @AMarshallMD @DRsonosRD @womeninmedchat Yes! First thing I always tell my team when starting inpatient rotation is: We are ALL learning and should ALL ask questions because no one knows it all! #WomenInMedicine |
| #WomenInMedicine Chat @womeninmedchat TYVM 2all of U #WomenInMedicine chat ppl for participating 2nite! Big TYVM 2 @BriChristophers 4her awesome Q's 2nite!

| Kaishauna Guidry, MD, HMDC @DrMamaKai @womeninmedchat A4: I made sure to shadow someone from every specialty before medical school. #WomenInMedicine |
| Joannie Yeh MD (she/her) @BetaMomma RT @pedsmd2b: @BetaMomma @womeninmedchat Definitely someone who has done the cold emailing since I was 16 yrs old lol The worst thing someone can say is No so I always recommend this to other med students and pre-meds #womeninmedicine |
| Priyanka V. Chugh, MD, MS @AntiWheatGirl @womeninmedchat @BriChristophers @petradMD Great chat everyone!! If any med students have any questions about med school or applying to general surgery, feel free to reach out! Thanks @BriChristophers for hosting :) #WomenInMedicine |
| Dr. Lawren is Openly Ya Ya @pedsmd2b @womeninmedchat A5 so far seems like H/P is super important to get down before, get comfortable asking difficult questions, but specifics come during rotations. I do wish there was more help around learning to present properly and concisely. So will gladly take recommendations! #womeninmedicine |
 | Amy Oxentenko MD @AmyOxentenkoMD @womeninmedchat A1: No such list when I was in med school, but if I were to do it again, I would be much better at regular exercise to mitigate stress, would have gotten more predictable sleep, and would have avoided living on Diet Mt Dew for 4 years to stay awake at night! #WomenInMedicine |
| Kaishauna Guidry, MD, HMDC @DrMamaKai @womeninmedchat A5: Obtaining a good medical history is the MOST important clinical skill. YouTube & @StanfordMed have great videos for the actual techniques of the physical exam. #WomenInMedicine |
| Amy Oxentenko MD @AmyOxentenkoMD @womeninmedchat A2: Start with classic/staple pieces that you can mix and match so you don’t need to buy as much. You can add in colored blouses or fun accessories to make new looks. And it does not need to be brand. Just comfy and fits well. #WomenInMedicine |

| Amy Oxentenko MD @AmyOxentenkoMD @womeninmedchat A3: I read my notes each night from lectures that day. It allowed me to learn it more quickly since it was fresh, and to clarify things the next day that did not not make sense. Each weekend, I read through material from past week. Made tests easier. #WomenInMedicine |

| Amy Oxentenko MD @AmyOxentenkoMD @womeninmedchat A4: I used the time off for summer break the first 2 years of med school (do you all still get that?), to shadow different specialties. I got to see some cool things (worked with county coroner) and others that helped me rule out (cauterizing lacrimal ducts!). #WomenInMedicine |
| Dr. Lawren is Openly Ya Ya @pedsmd2b @SaraBelPonMD @AliMientus @womeninmedchat yea I found that weird in 1st year as well. Like clearly I know something about what works for me or I wouldn't have made it to med school...i think its about being open to trying new things, but ultimately doing what works! #womeninmedicine |
 | Trauma Ready @TraumaReady RT @AntiWheatGirl: @womeninmedchat I also went to grand rounds from different specialities just to learn! Even has a preclinical student. During peds grand rounds, they talked about pediatric trauma surgery and that's where my interest in surgery began. You can find inspiration anywhere!! #WomenInMedicine |
| Dr. Lawren is Openly Ya Ya @pedsmd2b @AntiWheatGirl @womeninmedchat Yes! I was also introduced to mini-whiteboards that are regular notebook paper size just a little bit thicker for cutting down on paper waste while reviewing or doing practice questions...#womeninmedicine |

| Amy Oxentenko MD @AmyOxentenkoMD @womeninmedchat A5: Have exam skills down. Learn how to present succinctly and with organization. Have a system to manage task lists. Observe others that you shadow to pick up on the art of medicine (how to connect with a patient, give bad news, speak at eye level). #WomenInMedicine |
