Affirmative Action isn’t the only approach to diversifying schools and work places. Other proven tools can help—read about them in my The San Diego Union-Tribune op-ed:

California bill AB 470 would allow language courses to qualify for CME! Please support this bill for our Spanish speaking patients in California. Article written by CMA president Dr. Donaldo Hernandez laopinion.com/2023/08/17/los…

Great idea! Much better CME than many “required” CMEs.

The rigid path to board certification unfairly impacts women. Some delay pregnancy. Delivering can mean a year's delay. It doesn't have to be that way. Please share your thoughts on my Viewpoint in

Female plastic surgeons are at high risk for infertility, miscarriage, congenital malformations, and obstetric complications.
WHEN will this change?

Congrats Heather Furnas, MD & team - Thx for exploring Implicit Gender Bias among Plastic Surgeons! Many or most - (all?) - of us are affected by beliefs around traditional gender roles. Better understanding helps us reap benefits of talent & improve job satisfaction! #MedTwitter

In her new Forefront article, Heather Furnas, MD from Stanford University discusses how surgery residencies are not adequately structured to support women surgeons who want to have children, which has negative implications for children and patients. bit.ly/3zxJwqq
