Looking forward to a great collaboration with NOSM with these two new residency positions in Ob/Gyn!

@julie_maggi My son received his #2 at Scotiabank Arena at 7:15. So efficient- in and out in barely 25 minutes. bravo to everyone involved- what a feat!

I went down a Twitter rabbit hole and came upon some very problematic comments about my friend and colleague, @BogochIsaac. Isaac is a phenomenal leader and educator, and I want to acknowledge all of the work that he has done and continues to do during this pandemic.

@dr_mmorais @MedCouncilCan @cpso_ca I am shocked. This is a very enlightening and damning thread. Agree- credibility= zero.

Am I reading that SPs with extremely limited training were advised they would be independently evaluating learners on a high-stakes exam? @MedCouncilCan has lost all credibility at purporting how “valid”the LMCC2 exam process is. Cancel this licensure requirement @cpso_ca

"He was raised in a racist city that pretends it isn't" Incredible statement from the Jeff Bennett, who ran for Ontario Progressive Conservative party in London in 2014, on the London terrorist attack.

Maybe one day we’ll get there, with a lot of work. As our residents do some of this work today with @NaanaJumahMD and the @NurtureNorth curriculum I will be thinking of shattered families from all communities grieving the murders of loved ones. 💔

A month full of despair at the hatred and violence inflicted upon so many people, here and now as well as far away and long ago. I have tried to believe in the essential goodness of humanity but this month has challenged that hypothesis.

@DocElovitz 1000%. I work enough weekends already.

@RandyAwdish @RanaAwdish I mean, she’s not wrong.

Today I had to say, “No, I don’t think it technically qualifies as abandonment if the neighbors don’t stake their peonies and the blooms sag. No, I don’t think you can take them into protective custody.” I am now hiding the shovels from someone... @RanaAwdish

@julie_maggi Puppy at the lake...

@StephLapinsky @dason_shirin @EmilyDelpero @EmmaSkolnik @PavanGillMD @shirajgold @KrKinshuk @alisha_vo @ChelsWarshafsky and others not on Twitter!

What a joy to let everyone know that 💯of the @uoftobgyn residents passed their @Royal_College exams! 14 newly minted FRCSC coming at you soon! A testament to their hard work and dedication in a challenging year!

@GLSilvermanMD But your trainees learn so much more! Pretty convinced anesthesia and oh, maybe OB, require some ADHD .... hey wait can we screen our applicants for that??

In 2018 we started the Diversity Mentorship Program @uoftmedicine - with over 100+mentoring relationships established, we're happy to announce our 1st paper has been published. Thank you to my co-authors Anita, Joyce, Imaan & @DrLisaRobinson #MedEd #EDI doi.org/10.1108/EDI-12…

@StephenLap @EmilyDelpero @StephLapinsky Pretty sure you could be doubly certified prn!

@EmilyDelpero @StephLapinsky Thanks! Looks like my answers were probably correct then? 😁

🍾 💃 @StephLapinsky

@NEngleHardy My camera crashed after too many zooms..... 🤷‍♂️

After nearly 15 months of WFH and banging out who knows how many emails, facta, written arguments, affidavits, on this laptop, it finally happened. “I” quit.

Way to go @DrDogra18, resident @uoftobgyn !

What item was in your childhood bedroom that kids don't have today? 🤔🧸

@ganbare_amechan In the OR!!!

聖マリアンナ医大病院の勤務犬ことセラピードッグのモリス、めちゃめちゃお利口さんで涙が出そうになる🥲わたしも癒されたい、、、、

@DrAmandaSelk @cwimconference I agree with point two. On point one, well, no matter how great the company or inspiring the talks we clearly have different ideas of the meaning of vacation.....🏝🍹

@m_farruge @cwimconference It’s the best meeting. A total vacation. I love everything about it actually. Happy to have a weekend for this. I’d rather we stop dept/team meetings off hours. Replace grand rounds once a month with dept meeting

Getting so excited @cwimconference is this weekend. I think of it as a meeting about everything important to #WomenInMedicine that’s not medicine. I’ll try any Tweet pearls for you all. Missing the energy of in person events like this.
