Great ideas! We do have a shared Teams doc to post in the moment comments…some times we’re great, some times not so much. The thought is that the faculty submitting the eval can cut and paste these comments

Yes, evals have taken on an onerous reputation but feedback so important. I’m just trying to figure out how to ease the burden a tad as I’m the number 1 “gentle reminder”-er for clinic. 😒

Hmmm…we get them every quarter…does more frequent help you remember or cause more angst?

And to be honest, allows the faculty to hammer them out all at once instead of being a source of stress with constant Nee Innovations reminders. 😏

Those in GME #MedEd:
What are your best ideas re collecting continuity clinic feedback on your IM residents to eventually include in quarterly evals? No consistent attending per resident. @colleenchristmas.bsky.social @paulnwilliams.bsky.social @cjchiu.bsky.social #ProudtobeGIM

Can’t believe #IM2025 is next week. Looking forward to NOLA and seeing #IMProud colleagues soon. Will you be there?

Who here is going to #IM2025? Who has reserved tickets for the Welcome Reception? I'm excited to see folks, chat, hang out, and learn!

I'd go with either Adele or Kelly Clarkson!

Curious and not looking for a “right answer.”

What do you think is the difference between #tradition and “exclusionary privilege?” Is “tradition” by definition non-inclusive?

E.g. Med school grads can be hooded only by those w doctorate degrees.

Buzzy Bars, Cool Shops and Chile-Everything: Why Tucson Is the Desert Destination to Visit Now Tucson’s known for natural wonders. But for snowbirds after a different side of the Southwest, the dynamic downtown is emerging as a destination in its own right.

I couldn’t agree with you more. And if you didn’t know already, I have the utmost respect for you!

Love when collaborating w colleagues ➡️change in #MedEd. This paper highlighted the need for us to do a better job teaching about caring for ppl w disabilities.

Interesting! Is this a case akin to PTA volunteering: the ones who do are the ones who do?
Are the physicians who address social needs of pts the ones who are also engaged in everything else at their institutions? One can only do so much helping…

I think I’m getting close to calling it. 😞

All these weeks in, what’s your verdict on Bluesky, #MedSky?

⭐️I love it!
⭐️I just can’t get into it.
⭐️I’m going to keep trying.
⭐️I’m giving up on it.

I think that book “I Don’t Know How She Does It” (pub 2002) fueled a lot of the “you can have it all” falsehoods.

Thoughts? What trends in #parenthood are you seeing? #WomenInMedicine (6/6)

She thought ppl (esp women) are more cognizant of the amt of work it takes to raise kids & poss secondary harm to career. Women now look around and think “if I do everything, it’s going to have to come at the expense of something, and I don’t want that something to be me.” (5/6)

Ppl def agreed that there was less pressure to have kids than my generation did. Even in the #SouthAsian popultn-trad very into the whole married w kids thing. I really appreciated insight from a friend who shared that women nowadays no longer feel that it’s reality to “do it all.” (4/6)

The poll revealed two major themes:
💰Kids were expensive
🌎The world’s not a great place to bring a kid into

In my 20s/30s, all I was concerned with was if I could get pregnant. I did not have a world view.
(3/6)

And then I asked, if you agreed with me, what do you think was the reason behind this shift in our culture. I gave some options to vote for and others messaged me. (2/6)

🧵Asked on IG if ppl were noticing, like I was, that there seem to be more people opting to not have children. This was a huge departure from when I was in my 20s and 30s, when it just seemed like that is what everybody did. #Childless (1/6)

#Tucson sunsets. Oft imitated but never duplicated. #WhyILoveWhereILive

So happy to read this publication in @journalgim.bsky.social ! Congrats to the team for this important work.
