My friends in #AcademicMedicine. I am from Nepal. You must have heard and read regarding the state of affairs of COVID in India. Nepal is headed in the same direction. While India is a larger economy with more resources at its disposal Nepal is the exact opposite. #COVID #LMIC
Thinking of the possibilities in the coming weeks in Nepal wrenches my heart. There is already a short supply of Oxygen reserves, Steroids, Remdesivir, Anticoagulants, and basic resources. To date, only <5% of the country's population has been immunized. #COVIDNepal
I am sure the state is no different in other #LMICs. I would hereby urge for aid, urge for a global effort to pull countries like Nepal out of a disaster. A delay or a denial can be disastrous beyond imagination. We are already seeing the unfolding of events of #COVID19India.
Those who:
do not touch patients & never have
who maintain no clinical licenses
who feel free of any commitment to #ethics
are put in charge, by administrators, to control, often via fear & shame, clinicians.
This harms on many levels.
It is anti-#safetyculture.

We have lost >500,000 Americans to #COVID19 alone. Preventable deaths. These are mostly the marginalized, vulnerable.
Either document measurable work to save lives, or get out of the way and out of budgets that could be used to save lives.

I’ve seen SO much over the years, in the name of #compliance consulting to siphon off money to block &, ultimately, harm.
No this does not save money.
It harms families.
It monetizes coded racism.
There are a multitude of such vendors & consultants.

I went down a rabbit hole of women and academic productivity this morning...
Spurred by a recent Washington Post article (which buried the lede) showing that due to COVID19 academic women are losing 7.5 to 10 hrs/week of research if they have kids <7 yo

This is a CRISIS for academic promotion.
Pre-pandemic, studies showed disparities in publication rates between women/men.
There are 100s of articles describing this, but these 2 are pertinent to #AcademicMedicine

Unfortunately, since the pandemic started, the gender gap in publication seems to be worsening.

Good morning #MedTwitter! We are excited to share with you a new #MedEd Model!
Today our #Tweetorial covers Cognitive Load Theory (#CLT) with assistance from @GIMedEd!
Today our #Tweetorial covers Cognitive Load Theory (#CLT) with assistance from @GIMedEd!
We will define CLT & its 3 subtypes, relate CLT to ideas like stereotype threat & decision fatigue, and discuss teaching strategies that can help you optimize cognitive load for your learners.
Let’s get started!

Let’s start with a discussion of how memory works. There’s three components to memory: sensory memory, working memory, and long term memory. Longterm memory is limitless, but working memory is not.
Schemas help overcome the limits of working memory.

@AcadMedJournal @EricLehrer @DrEmmaHolliday @PennStHershey @penn_state Are metrics for promotion and tenure at academic institutions easy to understand?
@AcadMedJournal @EricLehrer @DrEmmaHolliday @PennStHershey @penn_state Most would say the requirements are nebulous.
e.g., here are requirements from top tier institution, for non-tenure track and tenure-track faculty.
Historically, some said:
Asst prof = regional reputation
Assoc prof = national
Full prof = international

Can we talk about this for a second?
This is really lovely and exciting and a privilege.
I appreciate the acknowledgment of hard work and energy.
And- I've had a really tough few months.
The burnout is real. 1/

I had a hard pregnancy.
Then the baby didn't sleep.
I kept thinking, if I can just sleep, everything will be fixed.
Sleep is better. But everything isn't fixed.

Apparently an early/mid-career crisis is very developmentally normal at this point. (Reassuring.)
It started to feel like all the decisions I thought were purposeful, were passive.
What of all of this did I actually mean to choose to do and be?

This is @TChanMD taking over the account this morning. Getting ready to live tweet the talk by Dr Gillian Hawker (@UofTDoMChair) who will be speaking on the important topic of #MindingTheGap in #AcademicMedicine!
Dr. Hawker starts with a great quote: "I'm not here to bash men."
This is VERY true, men are our allies in the fight for equity. - TC
