I couldn't agree more. Joining the @ALiEMFac has literally helped me get where I am today and continues to be a big part of my professional life. If you're a medical educator, take a look at the program and consider joining us for 2022-2023.
Without a doubt, @ALiEMFac was one of the most career-changing experiences of my life. This is a must-do for all budding medical educators looking to build their network, portfolio, and knowledge base.

When you punish failure, people are quick to deny it. They strive to convince othersāand themselvesāthat they haven't failed.
When you normalize failure as part of growth, people are quick to recognize it. They strive to learn from it and rectify it.

Compliment, for sure! But then I am also the person who asks each patient "what is good in your world today?" to refocus and redirect to a more positive view, so...
Saying "I was wrong" isn't an admission of incompetence.
It's a sign that you have the humility to recognize your mistakes and the integrity to learn from them.
The faster you are to acknowledge when youāre wrong, the faster you can move toward being right.

Medical education: there are two types of people in this world- āI had to go through it, so you should tooā and āI had to go through it, so Iāll work to make sure you donāt.ā
Please donāt be the first. You can receive great training AND not suffer. #MedTwitter
To medical students:
Time takes many things away from you as it passes.
Life is often a difficult lesson in letting go.
But Time also gives you one gift; a precious, powerful gift.
A gift that can alter your very reality.
The gift of perspective.
So hereās mine. 1/

Fighting our feelings undermines our wellbeing and hinders our progress.
You canāt rebuild a city when itās still under bombardment.
The same goes with our internal world: When we stop fighting what is, we can move on to efforts that will be more constructive and rewarding.

Tokyo Olympics chief: "with a lot of women, the board meetings take so much time."
Data: it's usually men who won't shut up.
(1) Men tend to talk more in meetingsāeven if more women are there
(2) Power leads men but not women to talk more
(3) Men interrupt more intrusively
Remembering that one time I overheard a patient say, āMy pain scale isnāt your assumption scaleā
I remember that often.
And how it applies to almost everything in this life.

Letās set the record straight. The health care workers taking pics and posting/tweeting about receiving their vaccine arenāt bragging and being boastful about being first. Weāre saying we trust science. Weāre grateful for the glimmer of hope in this pandemic, 1/x
The resident I'm working with said "one of the best ways to learn is by making a mistake. So don't ever feel bad about making a mistake around me" and that might be the most comforting thing I've heard in medical school.
Medicine is a struggle.
Understand the depths of your knowledge, and its limits. Bear witness. Communicate.
Be vigilant.
Be humble.
Be strong.
Be human, but not too human.
Walk this sharp line, until your feet bleed, then keep walking. 18/
