🩺🏁 As #WomenInMedicine #WomenInSurgery we are often “late” to the party of major life events, compared to others who are not in the medical field ! We are later grads, later in the workforce, later to build a family …. & that’s ok 😄 we are just stretching the fabric of time, after 15+ years of education and training 👯But it can be more insidious & destructive when you compare your journey to other women in medicine, specially to those with higher visibility or leadership role Don’t compare copy or compete ! We each have our timeline, our priorities & our style in creating a journey of our own- So what if some get “there” faster than you? 🤷🏽‍♀️ You need to get where you need to be ! 🎯The most important step is to define what is your most important “why & where” at diffent stages of your life: build a family? Discover the world? Get promoted ? Train for that shiny marathon medal? Take care of your mind & body? …. And go for it , not for what everyone else is doing ! It is your journey & it’s #NeverTooLate you are #NeverTooOld to define & pursue your goals 💡Create your journey ! 🚫 Don’t Compare Copy or Crave someone else’s life #RealLife @womeninmedicine @wimedicineorg @womensurgeons @healiowio @awirgroup @blackwomenphysicians @womeninpeds @blackingastro @womeninendosoc @womensdermsociety by @dcharabaty

On #NationalDoctorsDay sharing things I wish someone taught me as an early career physician 🩺 Work HARD: yes, I know it feels “old school”, but trust me, work hard to become the master of your craft ! Build a solid foundation as you start defining your career ! 🚫 Working hard does not mean exhausting yourself or ignoring other aspects of your life (been there, done that, not recommended !) 🚨Spoiler alert- working hard does not get your promoted & does not advance your career 🏎️That’s why you need to also 🌟Work SMART 📌Tip1 Develop a niche AND diversify your reach within this niche : publish manuscripts, get on your practice committees, become active in GI societies and advocacy … 📌Tip2 Create Visibility and Value for yourself = develop & nurture a professional network and then leverage this network to advance your career 🚨Leadership will not notice your hard work & promote you: put your value on paper and discuss it at regular meetings with your Chief 🚨Don’t limit your networking efforts to those senior to you ⬆️, think about peers & those more junior to you & beyond (nurses, industry partners, staff… ) ↔️ & ⬇️ 💎Solid foundation + visibility will allow you to create opportunities for yourself (& for others!) & move your career (not just a job) forward 🏎️ 🌼Bonus advice🌼 Medicine is hard - but also so rewarding - if we intentionally keep joy & gratitude at the forefront of what we do ! Take the small & the big wins at work & don’t forget to explore life outside medicine ! #NeverTooYoung #NeverTooOld to kick off your career & achieve work & life integration ! #NoGateKeeping by @dcharabaty

My mindset at the start of 2025 was to Reflect Reassess Reset and Reconnect. The need for that inner work came along as a package deal with the reading glasses & eye creams 😉 I naively thought that it would lead me to kick-start the stable smooth sailing of that “next stage of life”, where everything is supposed to fall into a place of wisdom, content & stability, reaping the benefits of years of stackingup building blocks 🙃Instead, this mindset led to deep quiet decisions & shifts in my professional & personal life; with no splash or drama, like self-evident changes waiting to manifest themselves until I was ready…. Life indeed meets you at your level of audacity & readiness: There’s actual power & strength in recognizing the finite nature of life- & subsequently loosing the fear to start over, change environment, leave what no longer serve you behind, get out of the comfort zone, dream again & re-discover what we aspire to & are capable of & truly need & want 🧧This year it’s all about Protecting my Peace, Optimizing my Health, De-cluttering & Prioritizing whom and what adds Significance, Joy & Prosperity to my life. It might sound selfish, but for me it is an intentional & necessary mindset in my renewed commitment for an aligned life #ItsNeverTooLate #YourAreNeverTooOld #PressStart #ThisIs50 #thisis50something by @dcharabaty

IBD-related stigma is one of the most significant challenges that hinders open conversations about IBD care.     Dr. Aline Charabaty (@dcharabaty), a gastroenterologist and contributing author of our white paper, “The Power of Community in IBD”, is a champion of creating safe spaces to foster well-rounded IBD care. She emphasizes the role care teams and providers play in destigmatizing IBD and creating supportive environments for patients.     Learn more about the role that stigma plays in IBD care and how supportive care teams can help in our white paper – link in bio. 🔗    #CrohnsDisease #UlcerativeColitis #InflammatoryBowelDisease #CrohnsAndColitis #IBDAwareness by @dcharabaty

The Morning after …. What no one tells you in medicine : your grandmother was right - the biological clock is real, but the work clock is not - if you decide to have kids, do it, don’t delay until the “right time” , it doesn’t exist in medicine - but there will always be time to grow your career In a field focused on health, reproductive health, pregnancy & #Motherhood can be a a complex & challenging journey for #WomenInMedicine in a system that doesn’t support them 🎙️I recognize my story is not unique, but I am sharing it because: 🤫There’s still so much taboo around #infertility, #IVF, egg freezing, post-partum, women with no children, adoption, single moms … in medicine - as if we, healthcare professionals should be immune to this - in fact, we are at ⬆️ risk of all these realities because of the demands and stress of our career 🤫If we don’t talk about it, if we stay silent & isolated in our own experience then the status quo remains; we need to challenge the system and change the narrative for the next generation of physicians 👩🏽‍⚕️I wish someone reminded me early on, that the biological clock is real; and I now know there is NO career clock (despite what others may convince you of and the pressure to put personal plans on hold to keep the career “going”); if you choose to have kids, plan it, do it, don’t postpone it; partner or no partner - I assure you, you can take a career time out & jump right back into the race & excel doing it 🏎️🏎️🏎️ 🔥We got the power ! You are NeverTooYoung #NeverTooOld to negotiate & advocate for yourself or others, for fair parental leave , flexible work schedule, path of re-entry into the work force 💙It’s time we normalize the fact that women in medicine can have kids , or may choose not to have any, & whatever personal journey they are walking, they are phenomenal physicians & amazing human beings by @dcharabaty
