I did not receive Honors in my surgical clerkship. In my feedback I was told I was not “aggressive” enough – sexist language when it comes to women in surgery. I appealed the grade for several reasons and lost. I came to learn that in the last 20 years only 4 students (1/2)

have appealed a grade at my institution and all have lost their appeal. We must do better if we want to fix the blatant disparity of women in surgery (2/2)

Since the beginning of medical school @DamianTeasley and I have been on the path to neurosurgery together. Today we finished our home SubI. I couldn’t have asked for a better friend and Co-SubI throughout the process. I can’t wait to see the amazing things he does in his career!

I got my Internal Medicine evals back & an Intern took the time to write 800 deeply kind words about me. Their thoughtfulness will stick with me for years to come & is a reminder to myself as I move forward in my training that a thoughtful eval can make a world of difference.

This morning my brother overslept and missed the bus to the swim meet so they drove to our house to pick him up...

@BenElderMD Thank you for sharing your perspective and experience, Dr. Elder! It is encouraging to hear that grades are not always viewed as a completely objective measure in the residency application process.

@WillyRamiro92 Well, I don’t believe that medical school is any better than nursing school. It is just frustrating that women are never assumed to be doctors or pursuing an MD/DO.

How Columbia Ignored Women, Undermined Prosecutors and Protected a Predator for More Than 20 Years

For decades, patients warned Columbia about the behavior of obstetrician Robert Hadden. One even called 911 and had him arrested. Columbia let him keep working.

@MLVision4Health Ming, I am so sorry! I know that many of my Asian classmates have faced similar discrimination to what you have described, especially in surgical fields. I am white and therefore will never understand your lived experience, but I am deeply sorry that this has happened to you.
