True! Part of the reason that to change culture we must start from the top down (attending, leaders) as well as the ground up (trainees) #SurgSky

This is great news: the scientific community is finding its way to BlueSky. We can all help by finding and amplifying all of these specialists, from #MedSky to #BookSky. Give them the audience and reach they had on the bird site.

When I was 8 yo I wondered why grown-ups treated me in such a childish way - I understood perfectly what they were saying! Same vibe in medicine now—how are the first 10 years still considered 'early career' when we already spent 5+ years in training? #MedSky #EarlyCareer

I've been asked to detail the 'how' of #PsychologicalSafety in teams. But first I have to explain the 'what'. Firstly, what it is not. Psychological safety is NOT everyone 'being nice'. Psychological safety IS allowing everyone to more equally share necessary discomfort. 🧵...

Diversity, equity and inclusion improves care experiences and patient outcomes. Teams are more productive. Solutions are better architected. It's a win-win-win, except for people who live in fear of losing their power. But those people shouldn't' have power to begin with, so. :) #medsky

The entire healthcare team is suffering from repeated trauma in the 2nd victim phenomenon. This topic needs extensive reporting and more research — Healthcare kills daily - but we can’t quit watching the airlines do why we have seen in healthcare forever 😒😔

In karate, kids can earn half-color belts (stripes) to practice testing and celebrate smaller wins. Why don’t we do the same as adults? Recognizing progress in smaller steps keeps us motivated! Even small things can feel like a celebration. 🥋🎯 #QISky #Healthcare #ContinuousImprovement

The 'Dark Ages' only affected part of the world; China and the Arabic world made many cultural and technological strides in that time. That's what the rest of us can do now- provide spaces for flourishing, because this WILL pass. (Though hopefully faster than 500 years!)
