| Kari Sampsel @KariSampsel @aoglasser Awesome! We have been in pre-contemplation about a treadmill and/or an elliptical for years 😞 #WomenInMedicine |
| #WomenInMedicine Chat @womeninmedchat Plz feel free to keep introducing yourselves while we get started w/ Q1: Beyond the "traditional" family, what different support systems exist for healthcare workers? How can we be more inclusive of those colleagues who may have chosen/non-traditional families? #WomenInMedicine https://t.co/yzCoePTbmW |
 | Andrea Boggild, MD @BoggildLab If this workplace glasses nonsense ever catches on here in 🇨🇦, buckle up for one of @BoggildLab’s grand escalator calamities..... Happy to personify “distracting” #itstherefractiveerrorstupid #epicallystupid #stupidrules #genderbias |

| Kari Sampsel @KariSampsel @aoglasser Very good plan! #WomenInMedicine |
| Shreya P. Trivedi MD, MHPE @ShreyaTrivediMD @womeninmedchat I also think of this Q as what other support structures are #WomeninMedicine for their families that may be invisible to our colleagues Ex. Having family members with illness or #MentalHealth issues that require WIM attn, energy and time #Caregiving |
 | wannabedoc_mom @WannabedocM @womeninmedchat @petradMD @EileenBarrettNM @sue_bornstein Hello! I'm a resident who has been navigating a new family and residency! #WomenInMedicine |
 | Suzan White, DO @suzanwhitedo Hi everyone! I’m Sue, a psychiatrist specializing in addiction. I am the Medical Director of a clinic in Vermont. Happy to tune in to your Twitter voices this evening. #WomenInMedicine |
 | Let's End Smoking 🫁 📚 @iquitsmokingcig RT @ErinGillaspie: There are officially two Erins in Thoracic Surgery!!! Dr Erin Corsini gave an amazing presentation this morning looking at mutational concordance in pulm mets. @maraantonoff #WomenInMedicine @MDAndersonNews #STSA2019 @WomenInThoracic https://t.co/9urQp97InM |
| Carrie Bernard MD she/her @carriedbernard @womeninmedchat Never assume. Family means different things to different people. Q1 #WomenInMedicine |
| Kari Sampsel @KariSampsel @womeninmedchat A1: we have a SHEmergency what’s app group - varied backgrounds and ground rules on being a safe space - we’ve discussed a wide range of topics from late night crisis to silly #WomenInMedicine |
 | Gita Pensa, M.D. @GitaPensaMD RT @DrKittyKat: Hey @AWAEM! Let's amplify this phenomenal doctor (@LizGoldbergMD) on her @NIH Beeson Scholar award! Thank you for the incredible work you're doing and the inspiration you provide to us. #WomenInMedicine #BAFfERD @feminemtweets |
| Jen Readlynn, MD, FHM (she/her) @jenreadlynn @womeninmedchat A1: My neighbors help keep things going for us - help with the dog, kids, lawn mowing, snow shoveling. We will never move. I have a shared office and they are my second family. #WomenInMedicine |
| Annie Massart @Annie_Massart_ @womeninmedchat A1: I think this is tricky to answer because the answer is really a wide range of possibilities. Any number of combinations of partners, children, neither, friends, pets, etc. As for being more inclusive, I think a key part of that is not making assumptions... #WomenInMedicine |
 | meshmd @msmemesha @womeninmedchat A1: it’s so important our workplaces advocate for equal benefits (fertility benefits, parental leave for adoption, etc) no matter how you chose to have a family. Also creating avenues for support (scholarships, monetary awards, discounted childcare) #womeninmedicine |
| Maria Jose Hernandez Woodbine @Mariajose_hw RT @carriedbernard: @womeninmedchat Never assume. Family means different things to different people. Q1 #WomenInMedicine |
| Annie Massart @Annie_Massart_ @womeninmedchat 2/ A1: Don't assume the genders of spouses. Don't assume women are mothers. Don't assume women who aren't mothers want to be or don't want to be. #WomenInMedicine |
| Maria Jose Hernandez Woodbine @Mariajose_hw RT @Annie_Massart_: @womeninmedchat A1: @womeninmedchat A1: I think this is tricky to answer because the answer is really a wide range of possibilities.

| Carrie Bernard MD she/her @carriedbernard @Annie_Massart_ @womeninmedchat So important! Be inclusive with pronouns #WomenInMedicine |
| Nadia Jamil, M.D. @NadiaJamilMD @womeninmedchat A1. Lots of different support systems- friends, family, coworkers. And many different types of families! #WomenInMedicine |
| Shreya P. Trivedi MD, MHPE @ShreyaTrivediMD @ccardyDNP @womeninmedchat I am with you Christina! I have had so many reflections on "family" at the bedside and the depth of support #WomeninMedicine |
| Kari Sampsel @KariSampsel @womeninmedchat A1b: the nice thing about it being full of emerg people - there is usually someone around 24h a day due to our wacky shift worry world #WomenInMedicine |
| Rakhee K. Bhayani, MD @RakheeBhayaniMD @womeninmedchat When I think of support systems, I think of friends, neighbors, and outsourced help for many different duties. Finding a network that can help support you in various areas of life has been really helpful since we don't have extended family where we live. #WomenInMedicine |
 | MedEdBot @MedEdBot RT @womeninmedchat: In 10mins!Plz joinus2nite,11/10/19@ 9PMEST,4another interesting #WomenInMedicine chat on chosen/non-traditional families w/ @EileenBarrettNM & @sue_bornstein.Plz share! #nursetwitter #girlmedtwitter #medstudenttwitter #MedTwitter #HeForShe #FOAMed #lgbtqia #meded #HCSM #TimesUpHC https://t.co/eibY2PeWBC |
 | SR @lifeandmedicine @womeninmedchat @petradMD @EileenBarrettNM @sue_bornstein #WomenInMedicine |
| Jen Readlynn, MD, FHM (she/her) @jenreadlynn @Annie_Massart_ @womeninmedchat Agreed. My patients remind me all the time how important their church family or people from the community choir are to them. Definitely another level of support for healthcare workers too. #WomenInMedicine |
| Darilyn Moyer @DarilynMoyer @womeninmedchat A1 #WomenInMedicine chat: We need to push ourselves away from our “similarity” networks and reach to all. Like with patient care, we need to be supportive and get to know everyone. Ask people to tell you their story,it’s amazing how we have more similarities than differences. |
| Shreeya Popat, MD @SPopatMD @aoglasser @womeninmedchat A1: Agreed! My grandparents are a huge part of my life. @AmolPatelDO, @ShyamPopatMD and I recently took them on a week-long trip to Iceland, and I got some of the funniest reactions about it! But it was a blast! #WomenInMedicine |
| Annie Massart @Annie_Massart_ @jenreadlynn @womeninmedchat That's a great point! And understanding more about their local community relationships can do so much to help us fully partner with our patients. #WomenInMedicine |
 | Dr. Elisa Choi, MD, FACP, FIDSA (She/Her) @DrElisaChoi @womeninmedchat A1: (continued) #WomenInMedicine Be more open-minded about our colleagues who don’t “fit the mold” of the stereotypical nuclear family. #FamilyIsWhatYouMakeIt |
| Suzan White, DO @suzanwhitedo @womeninmedchat A1. In my position as a leader at work I feel it is important to acknowledge and normalize non-traditional families. I do this by starting with my own, this makes it easier for others. #womeninmedicine |
| #WomenInMedicine Chat @womeninmedchat Great thoughts everyone, now it's time for Q2: What challenges might people with non traditional families/support structures face, some of which may not be immediately evident? #WomenInMedicine https://t.co/6KHoaO8WBB |
 | Sanjana Mathur @teaandreverie @womeninmedchat @petradMD @EileenBarrettNM @sue_bornstein Sanjana here! FMG, faculty member in clinical skills & simulation, mph student. Eager to chat more about non traditional families, having grown up in one myself. Here’s my primary care giver when I was 4 y.o, now I’m her primary care giver when she’s 83. #womeninmedicine https://t.co/vHAjInQKpQ |
| SR @lifeandmedicine @womeninmedchat A1. Beyond the "traditional" family, other support systems can be: friends, colleagues, pets, extended family, sometimes even strangers can be a support system! We can be inclusive of the "non traditional" families by not being judgmental or assuming! #WomenInMedicine |
| Darilyn Moyer @DarilynMoyer @womeninmedchat A1 #WomenInMedicine chat- make it a point to ask attendees to a meeting, social gathering to bring a plus 1! We recently had a WIM in Philly and had a wonderfully diverse group of women in healthcare from a variety of healthcare settings and life choices. |
| Shreya P. Trivedi MD, MHPE @ShreyaTrivediMD @womeninmedchat There's a constant trying to have correct or situate ppl to who you are & what family means to you. Part of me thinks its exhausting and have stopped telling people my family situation. But the flip side of that, it upholds this sense of ‘me’ that I'm not. #WomeninMedicine |
| Shreeya Popat, MD @SPopatMD @womeninmedchat A1: Being respectful of unmarried or childless colleagues’ time is paramount in this! It’s important not to expect them to take on more responsibilities or time commitments — very presumptuous #WomenInMedicine |
| Kari Sampsel @KariSampsel @womeninmedchat A2: even what their challenges are in the first place - or what things are preferred - especially fundamental things like scheduling. What works for one may not work for another. #WomenInMedicine |
 | Melanie Thompson @drmt @kinnathakarar @SandySpringerMD @IDDoc1978 @DrEllenEaton @alicecthornton @LauraMarks5 @JudithStrymish @deborahcottonmd @DrAyanaJordan @jessiegaeta Thanks for including me in this awesome list! #Thank10Women #WomenInMedicine I’ll thank @Armstrws @RWalensky @DrJeanneM @AnnaKPerson @BrendaCrabtreeR @colleenfkelley @IngridKatzMD @drmoupali @kmcmanusMD @TheBronxDoc Keep it going! |
 | Leonor Vásquez MD🍷🪐 @LeitoVr RT @FutureDocs: “For the 1st time, women constitute the majority of all medical students but we are a long way from gender equity at the faculty level.” AAMC launching new effort to promote gender equity & end sexual harassment 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 President @AAMCtoday #aamc2019 #WomenInMedicine https://t.co/wDszHZ8zyL |
 | Farrah @fairyburger Hi everyone! Popping in a little late, but I’m Farrah! FM doc in SF Bay Area, started seeing pts for my new job on Friday afternoon and battling a terrible cold (fun times 😅). #WomenInMedicine |
| Kari Sampsel @KariSampsel @DarilynMoyer @womeninmedchat Totally agree. And it is better for everyone in the end! #WomenInMedicine |
| wannabedoc_mom @WannabedocM @womeninmedchat A2 Trying to navigate a world mostly built around "traditional" family structures. It's as simple as unconscious assumptions all the way to policy restrictions. #WomenInMedicine |
 | Rochelle Walensky, MD, MPH @RWalensky RT @drmt: @kinnathakarar @SandySpringerMD @IDDoc1978 @DrEllenEaton @alicecthornton @LauraMarks5 @JudithStrymish @deborahcottonmd @DrAyanaJordan @jessiegaeta Thanks for including me in this awesome list! #Thank10Women #WomenInMedicine I’ll thank @Armstrws @RWalensky @DrJeanneM @AnnaKPerson @BrendaCrabtreeR @colleenfkelley @IngridKatzMD @drmoupali @kmcmanusMD @TheBronxDoc Keep it going! |
 | Sue Bornstein @sue_bornstein @MCarneyMD @petradMD @EileenBarrettNM Thanks @MCarneyMD for that reminder. Good advice for us all #WomeninMedicine |
| Nadia Jamil, M.D. @NadiaJamilMD @womeninmedchat A2. Assumptions about time off- physicians who aren’t married or don’t have kids (yet) may be assumed or pressured to work holidays. Even those from different religions may not celebrate Christmas itself- but it’s a day off with family that most have off! #WomenInMedicine |
| Carrie Bernard MD she/her @carriedbernard @womeninmedchat A2 #WomenInMedicine We need to be mindful that some may be hesitant to be open about non-traditional families as not all spaces feel safe. We must do our part to create safety. |
| Rakhee K. Bhayani, MD @RakheeBhayaniMD @womeninmedchat A2: Assumptions about their support networks and family structure. Possibly feeling excluded in conversations if they don't feel like they are understood/valued. #WomenInMedicine |
| Kari Sampsel @KariSampsel @NadiaJamilMD @womeninmedchat Totally! I work nights on Christmas Eve even though I celebrate it and have young kids. It works for our family right now! #WomenInMedicine |
| meshmd @msmemesha @womeninmedchat A2: Childcare childcare childcare for those who already have children - I think of the single parent who’s resources (physical and financial) can be a huge issue. Societal bias I’m sure is daunting. Again if employer benefits vary this can be a stressor #womeninmedicine |
| Sanjana Mathur @teaandreverie @womeninmedchat A1. It’s about being mindful I think. I remember making it a point to work on calls every Father’s Day. A senior tried to brush me off one year by asking if I don’t prefer to go home to celebrate w/ my dad. All I could muster was a firm, “he’s dead” & walked off. #WomenInMedicine |
| Jen Readlynn, MD, FHM (she/her) @jenreadlynn @womeninmedchat A2 cont: I remember during my residency interviews that I didn’t feel like my relationship with my now husband would be taken as seriously if I called him my boyfriend instead of my fiancée or husband. #WomenInMedicine |
 | Brenda Crabtree✨ @BrendaCrabtreeR RT @drmt: @kinnathakarar @SandySpringerMD @IDDoc1978 @DrEllenEaton @alicecthornton @LauraMarks5 @JudithStrymish @deborahcottonmd @DrAyanaJordan @jessiegaeta Thanks for including me in this awesome list! #Thank10Women #WomenInMedicine I’ll thank @Armstrws @RWalensky @DrJeanneM @AnnaKPerson @BrendaCrabtreeR @colleenfkelley @IngridKatzMD @drmoupali @kmcmanusMD @TheBronxDoc Keep it going! |
| Farrah @fairyburger @womeninmedchat A1: There are tons of different support systems—friends, pets, colleagues/coworkers, partners, extended family... I think the very first step would be to not make any assumptions and to not judge others. #WomenInMedicine |
| Darilyn Moyer @DarilynMoyer @womeninmedchat A2 #WomenInMedicine chat: not being included in networks- as a working mom in a sea of neighbors/friends who didn’t work outside the home, I was often left out of activities, meetings. Several of us advocated to get school meetings, committee meetings alternated to include us. |
| Shreeya Popat, MD @SPopatMD @EileenBarrettNM @womeninmedchat A1: Thank you!! That’s the word I was looking for! I am totally enjoying being child-FREE at the moment #WomenInMedicine |
| Leonor Vásquez MD🍷🪐 @LeitoVr RT @RanaAwdish: Officially promoted to Associate Professor thanks to an amazing #WomenInMedicine community who write kick-ass letters of support and endlessly inspire me. @LFiellin @katie_sharkey @PisaniMAP thank you 💕 Representation matters. |
| Annie Massart @Annie_Massart_ @womeninmedchat A2: It can be isolating when you're outside the norm.Women who don't want kids miss out on some of the women's community at work... #WomenInMedicine |
 | sheMD @sheMDTweets Did you know: Female physicians are granted less credibility by patients, who often think they are nurses. https://t.co/7dr0raaAtj #sheMD #WomenInMedicine #MedStudentTwitter #sheMDJournalClub https://t.co/YZ7ywCU2vl https://t.co/gePAbBDJa2 |
| Nadia Jamil, M.D. @NadiaJamilMD @aoglasser @womeninmedchat ^ this! Different cultures/families value relationships differently! I haven’t had living grandparents since ‘97 so have considered my mom’s uncle (my great-uncle I guess) to be like my grandfather and called him that. My residency respected that when he passed #WomenInMedicine |
| Annie Massart @Annie_Massart_ @womeninmedchat 2/ A2: Exclusion is a huge challenge for those in the LGBTQ community where acknowledging your partner carries potential for being judged & excluded from opportunities. #WomenInMedicine |
| Maria Jose Hernandez Woodbine @Mariajose_hw @womeninmedchat A1. Advocating for mental health is a key way to be inclusive because some healthcare workers may have no support system at all. And colleagues could make a huge difference when showing support. #WomenInMedicine |
| Suzan White, DO @suzanwhitedo @womeninmedchat A2. A worst case scenario would be to not feel safe, to fear judgment from others at work. Less obvious bias may come up around scheduling shifts/ vacations due to bias/ misperceptions #WomenInMedicine |
| Shreya P. Trivedi MD, MHPE @ShreyaTrivediMD @aoglasser @womeninmedchat Yes! I was just thinking this weekend how I wish there was a more inclusive use of dependents for insurance #WomeninMedicine |
 | Riz MFMMD @rizwanafl RT @jackie_parchem: Thank you for advocating for women, mothers, and #science in #obstetrics! @yafshar @ChrisHanMFM @j_gil @EdlowLab @NanRaghuraman @drcynthiagyamfi @astuebe @DocElovitz @TXmommydoc @JudetteLouis #Thank10women #MFMscientists #WomenInMedicine @MySMFM |
| Sanjana Mathur @teaandreverie @womeninmedchat A2. Sometimes people may face unsolicited comments or suggestions re: their chosen families or have to see situations which remind them of what they don’t/can’t have. Med professionals are human too, people often forget. #WomenInMedicine |
| Darilyn Moyer @DarilynMoyer @aoglasser @womeninmedchat A2: #WomenInMedicine Agree! We need to fix the structural designs, not the people. |
| Annie Massart @Annie_Massart_ @jifrankl @womeninmedchat It's definitely something we all grew up doing in a way that reinforced gender norms and heteronormative relationships. I just stick to "spouse" if someone mentions a partner at home and allow them to share more if they want to. #WomenInMedicine |
| Sue Bornstein @sue_bornstein @womeninmedchat Think about coverage for holidays. Colleagues that don’t have children may be asked or volunteer to cover to help out. After a while, there may be resentment. #WomenInMedicine |
| Shreya P. Trivedi MD, MHPE @ShreyaTrivediMD @EileenBarrettNM @womeninmedchat Yep! I feel like I go through a waves/pendulum swing where I am more open at times and then getting burned and then swing back to sticking my head back in the books and moving forward #WomeninMedicine |
| Sanjana Mathur @teaandreverie @DrDaniJ @womeninmedchat Sorry that you are in this situation, having lost both my parents, every important event despite having my grandma present, it always hurts not having them there and of course just you know, every single living day. #WomenInMedicine |
| Farrah @fairyburger @womeninmedchat A2: This was kinda touched upon in a previous #WomenInMedicine chat, but assuming that those without children should be the ones to work holidays/take extra call because they “don’t have a family to go home to.” (1/2) |
| #WomenInMedicine Chat @womeninmedchat Insightful ideas everyone, now it's time for Q3: Regardless of family structure, how can we all support one another? How can we be intentionally inclusive of colleague's families that may be different from our own? #WomenInMedicine https://t.co/puRoTjDKsa |
| Maria Jose Hernandez Woodbine @Mariajose_hw RT @fairyburger: @womeninmedchat A2: @womeninmedchat A2: This was kinda touched upon in a previous #WomenInMedicine chat, but assuming that those without children should be the ones to work holidays/take extra call because they “don’t have a family to go home to.” (1/2) |
| Darilyn Moyer @DarilynMoyer @EileenBarrettNM @womeninmedchat A2 #WomenInMedicine chat- start a book club that explores these issues! |
| Kari Sampsel @KariSampsel @womeninmedchat A3: by being open and curious from a good place. Learning from one another and allowing a safe place for people to be themselves. #WomenInMedicine |
| Farrah @fairyburger @womeninmedchat A2: Also, insurance benefits that only extend to the traditional idea of a family. For instance, I don’t want kids ever, but I’d love to be able to cover my parents and my brother with my health insurance, but apparently they don’t count as my family. (2/2) #WomenInMedicine |
| Sue Bornstein @sue_bornstein RT @WannabedocM: @womeninmedchat A2 Trying to navigate a world mostly built around "traditional" family structures. It's as simple as unconscious assumptions all the way to policy restrictions. #WomenInMedicine |

| wannabedoc_mom @WannabedocM @womeninmedchat A3 At the end of the day, whatever we should do falls under the following umbrella: Simply. Be. Kind. #WomenInMedicine |
| Shreya P. Trivedi MD, MHPE @ShreyaTrivediMD @womeninmedchat A3. Being open to hearing others boundaries and not assuming. I think this is particularly imp in #AcademicMedicine where theres an endless limit of how much you can give. #WomeninMedicine |
| Nadia Jamil, M.D. @NadiaJamilMD @fairyburger @womeninmedchat ^ ditto. I’d love to be able to cover my parents in the future. Why can’t I negotiate that into a contract? I’d be willing to consider it as part of my compensation.... #WomenInMedicine |
| Sanjana Mathur @teaandreverie @womeninmedchat A3. Be open ended with invitations, understand when time is needed for those who need us and may not necessarily be our immediate family. We should not have to explain our situations to anyone #WomenInMedicine |
| Shreya P. Trivedi MD, MHPE @ShreyaTrivediMD @KariSampsel @womeninmedchat I really like 'curious from a good place' perspective #WomeninMedicine |
| Carrie Bernard MD she/her @carriedbernard @womeninmedchat A3. Be sensitive to each other. Celebrate with our colleagues and commemorate the losses that matter to THEM. Take the time to find out! It might be a nephew's birthday or the death of a pet. You don't know if you don't ask. #WomenInMedicine |
| Annie Massart @Annie_Massart_ @womeninmedchat A3: Check in w/ your colleagues & ask how they & their family/tribe/community are doing. I think many w/ stereotypical families volunteer that info. "My husband got a promotion,""my child has a cold", etc. My friends at work know me & ask how my dogs are doing. #WomenInMedicine |
| Kari Sampsel @KariSampsel @aoglasser @womeninmedchat Absolutely! And celebrating/supporting their important times of the year - usually has the awesome benefits of trying out new celebratory food! #WomenInMedicine |
| Annie Massart @Annie_Massart_ @womeninmedchat 2/ A3: Intentionally showing interest is friendly AND extremely validating. #WomenInMedicine |
| Darilyn Moyer @DarilynMoyer @womeninmedchat A3 #WomenInMedicine chat- make no assumptions that people don’t want to get to know you even though you haven’t been in the same networks.Invite others in, ask for assistance when needed! At the end of the day, humanity and the fragility of life unite us 🌈 🏳️🌈 |
| Jen Readlynn, MD, FHM (she/her) @jenreadlynn @womeninmedchat A3: as others have previously mentioned, using general terms like “plus 1” or “partner” instead of husband/wife, having a structure to holiday/school break scheduling that is balanced, more inclusive policies/insurance to name a few #WomenInMedicine |
| Farrah @fairyburger @womeninmedchat A3: Being kind and supportive of one another, being observant, not making assumptions. #WomenInMedicine |
| Shreya P. Trivedi MD, MHPE @ShreyaTrivediMD @DarilynMoyer @womeninmedchat "At the end of the day, humanity and the fragility of life unite us" Beautiful and truth #WomeninMedicine |
| Melanie Thompson @drmt RT @kinnathakarar: Thank you @SandySpringerMD @IDDoc1978 @DrEllenEaton @alicecthornton @LauraMarks5 @drmt @JudithStrymish @deborahcottonmd @DrAyanaJordan @jessiegaeta #WomeninMedicine #Thank10Women |
| Maria T. Carney MD, MACP @MCarneyMD @Annie_Massart_ @womeninmedchat A3: #WomenInMedicine Be socially aware and teach. When someone says they can’t do something or decline an invitation maybe explore or keep the invite open and express an openness got others (eg partner, visiting parents, visiting step kids). By being an example you teach others. |
| Carrie Bernard MD she/her @carriedbernard @aoglasser @womeninmedchat This is SO important! We need to support each other. #WomenInMedicine A3 |
| Sue Bornstein @sue_bornstein @womeninmedchat Like the Grateful Dead song “all I want to know is are you kind.” That sums it up. #WomenInMedicine |
 | UMich Rad Onc @UMichRadOnc RT @reshmajagsi: With leaders like Marschall Runge and @CarolBradford9 at the helm, armed with insights from our Advance committee, @umichmedicine bravely confronts where gender inequity remains and follows its long tradition of recognizing the valuable contributions of #WomenInMedicine |
| Shreya P. Trivedi MD, MHPE @ShreyaTrivediMD @sue_bornstein @womeninmedchat Thank you for role modeling courage and transparency! We see you! #WomeninMedicine |
| Suzan White, DO @suzanwhitedo @womeninmedchat A3. Be a good workplace citizen. Make an effort to connect with colleagues while observing their boundaries. Create emotional safety/ safe spaces that support diversity. #WomenInMedicine |
 | Sabrina Rainey @SRaineyMD @womeninmedchat A3: Inclusive language, acknowledge that what/who is important to us is not the same for everyone. Take interest and joy is what makes others happy! Be open to inviting any supports to group activities and take part in new activities to support each other. #WomenInMedicine |
| #WomenInMedicine Chat @womeninmedchat And last, but not least, it's time for Q4: What are you doing now to support your colleagues and their families? What will you do going forward that you might not have thought to do prior to tonight's discussion? #WomenInMedicine https://t.co/NboLExlKQ5 |
| Kari Sampsel @KariSampsel @womeninmedchat A4: to try to expand my circle beyond my own shop/specialty. Always stronger together! #WomenInMedicine |
| Rakhee K. Bhayani, MD @RakheeBhayaniMD @aoglasser @womeninmedchat A3: Definitely! Be an ally and an upstander. #WomenInMedicine |
| Annie Massart @Annie_Massart_ @ccardyDNP @womeninmedchat I definitely often feel that way. Then I noticed that people absolutely LIT UP when I asked how their kids are doing. Even if our colleagues are having a rough day, being given the opportunity to think about & brag about their loved ones is often a boost. #WomenInMedicine |
| meshmd @msmemesha @womeninmedchat A3: -Create support cells. -Talk out stressors because maybe someone sees a solution to your issues when you’re too overwhelmed to see it. -Speak up for those who need help and recruit others to help. -Don’t make assumptions and just listen! #WomenInMedicine |
| Farrah @fairyburger @Annie_Massart_ @womeninmedchat Very true! I was writing up my physician bio last week and went through 50 different bios as examples, none of which mentioned being LGBT-friendly. It’s not something often brought up at work either, so I definitely can see how it can be alienating. #WomenInMedicine |
| Darilyn Moyer @DarilynMoyer @sue_bornstein @womeninmedchat A3- #WomenInMedicine Here’s another song title that conveys the right message: “I’m A lot alike You” |
| Carrie Bernard MD she/her @carriedbernard @KariSampsel @womeninmedchat A4 #WomenInMedicine I agree with @KariSampsel . Looking for places and spaces to expand my support. Many great opportunities (like this chat!) |
| Darilyn Moyer @DarilynMoyer RT @womeninmedchat: Great thoughts everyone, now it's time for Q2: Great thoughts everyone, now it's time for Q2: What challenges might people with non traditional families/support structures face, some of which may not be immediately evident? #WomenInMedicine https://t.co/6KHoaO8WBB |
| Darilyn Moyer @DarilynMoyer RT @womeninmedchat: Plz feel free to keep introducing yourselves while we get started w/ Q1: Plz feel free to keep introducing yourselves while we get started w/ Q1: Beyond the "traditional" family, what different support systems exist for healthcare workers? How can we be more inclusive of those colleagues who may have chosen/non-traditional families? #WomenInMedicine https://t.co/yzCoePTbmW |

| Sue Bornstein @sue_bornstein @DarilynMoyer @womeninmedchat Thank you @DarilynMoyer @womeninmedchat. You are one of the people who give me strength and courage. #WomeninMedicine |
| Farrah @fairyburger @womeninmedchat A4: Using more inclusive language + trying to remember more little details in the lives of everyone I meet & asking about them. (I try to do that with my pts so no reason why I shouldn’t do that with coworkers/others!) #WomenInMedicine |
| Shreya P. Trivedi MD, MHPE @ShreyaTrivediMD @KariSampsel @womeninmedchat A4. Continuously being open to learn from other's experience of family, priorities and appreciating the diversity. Hoping we can keep embracing and making visible the growing range of experiences of being a #WomeninMedicine |
| Kari Sampsel @KariSampsel @ShreyaTrivediMD @womeninmedchat Yes! Making this the norm rather than the exception! #WomenInMedicine |
| Jen Readlynn, MD, FHM (she/her) @jenreadlynn @womeninmedchat A4: I work with a lot of parents and we are great about recognizing the community it takes to raise our families, but often don’t think to ask more about those without children. I will be more mindful of this and do it more. #WomenInMedicine |
| Suzan White, DO @suzanwhitedo @womeninmedchat A4. I’m going to try to learn the names of all the partners, children and dogs connected to the entire clinic staff! #womeninmedicine |
| Shreya P. Trivedi MD, MHPE @ShreyaTrivediMD @aoglasser @womeninmedchat Agree! I work hard to keep a no shame culture before working with anyone. We are all hardworking people; we don't need to walk around with an even larger cloud of guilt of things we are not or someone we are letting down #WomeninMedicine |
| Kari Sampsel @KariSampsel @ccardyDNP @Annie_Massart_ @womeninmedchat Sometimes it feels a bit weird - like you are being nosy or intrusive. I think if it is asked with genuine interest or concern it is worth doing! #WomenInMedicine |
| Darilyn Moyer @DarilynMoyer @womeninmedchat A4 #WomenInMedicine chat- 🏳️🌈 Expanded definitions of family/parental leave 🏳️🌈Improved Flex Time Benefits 🏳️🌈 Review of recruitment/retention policies to promote DEI 🏳️🌈 Support of an employee who sought advanced training in DEI to teach back and implement new programs |
| Farrah @fairyburger @womeninmedchat Also, I’ll likely still be volunteering for extra call around holidays and spring/fall breaks in the future if my coworkers need it anyway. I just like the idea of it not being assumed that the ones without kids will do it. 😅#WomenInMedicine |
