Did you know nearly half of women we surveyed have been discriminated based on gender by patients? Or that nurses are the most likely to be sexually harassed by colleagues? These stats are an important reminder that it’s never been more crucial to support women in healthcare. If you know me well, you know that I’m big on women supporting other women and standing up to injustices. Thankfully I work with some amazing women who feel the same way and this project wouldn’t be possible without them. With the assistance of Krista McCourt and Christine Burke Evans, we launched this survey, had a beautiful guide created, and have plans to spread the data everywhere. Whether you recruit for healthcare roles, work in healthcare, or just interested in learning more about the experiences of female healthcare professionals, check out the data today. #WomeninMedicine #DEI

It was a great honor to participate in the RARE Revolution Magazine REV-inar alongside an incredible panel of women who have dedicated their work to advancing the care of people with rare diseases, worldwide. Wendy Erler, Yael Weiss and Professor Lara Bloom, CNE A few excerpts from my participation: On RD Caregivers: "The impact of caregiving on women is disproportionate. The economy of care is an important issue that needs to be addressed through policies that protect women." On Women in Science: "While representation is essential, I think our (women's) presence on boards, on teams, on publications, etc., should be predicated on the expertise and the insight we bring, rather than just because we're a woman or because we're a Latin American, or because we're a minority. It's important for it to be about meritocracy and ensuring that anyone's participation is based on their capacity to add value, and that they're acknowledged for their skills and contribution to the field."

Insights from Day 2 of the 2024 Health Sciences Conference! Today, we had the privilege of hearing from Sam Rapoport, the Senior Director of DEI with the NFL. She has been instrumental in creating an environment that empowers women to have a seat at the table within the organization. Her insights were incredibly valuable, and here are a few of my key takeaways: 1. Diversity: Recognize the need for change or lack of diversity. Start with the people who care and ignore those who don’t. 2. Equity: Create an environment that provides access to all. Be mindful of the language used and its impact on the culture. Evaluate policies to ensure they are inclusive. For example, consider flexible dress codes like “dress for your day” instead of restrictive ones that often restrict more of female standard dress. 3. Inclusion: Sam provided practical solutions for various situations. My favorite was the “spinach rule” – if someone approaches you about something you said, react as if they told you you have spinach in your teeth. Thank them, acknowledge the need to address it, and avoid defensive responses like “No I don’t” or “That was not my intent.” It’s about the impact on the person who received the message, not your intent. It was another great day filled with new information, connections, and ideas to bring back to our team. Excited for what’s next!
