PgY3: opens email from most widely read med journal in the world.

NEJM: residents these days don’t stay late for patient care time, want wellness days, and have cognitive dissonance between work and wellbeing. Nothing we do makes them happy.

PgY3: closes laptop.

Y’all are tough on residents. I was researching prior articles from the past 30 years. Yes articles were tough on every generation of residents. In my *biased* opinion, the current articles seem more like hit pieces than realistic narratives. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The insinuation that “well being days”should make us “happier” and we should “be grateful for them” defines how disconnected thought processes are. As a 30 yo physician working for a hospital system, we should be able to see physicians within the system we work.

Wellness days are defined differently by each program. It’s frustrating when broad & misleading information is printed in NEJM regarding these definitions.

When we are infantilized, it is frustrating.

when we are told we are not staying late *when we ARE*, it is frustrating.

Believe it or not, NEJM, I would trust my coresidents with any of my family members. We literally adapted our training amid a global pandemic, have increased dictation demands, and are applying in increasingly competitive fields.

When duty hours are broken some residents r questioned re their “efficiency”. When duty hours are lied about, NEJM tells residents they are not staying late enough. lol Literally, I have never seen a coresident leave an unstable patient b/c shift change.

I bring this up because the way to improve our “happiness” is not by making monolithic statements and gross generalizations based on ivy only experiences.

It’s by creating microcosms of improvement within individual programs. I am grateful my program recognizes that. Some don’t

... current residents have been through quite a bit. My current class of 2024 was the first to have completely virtual resident interviews amid the pandemic. We had entire med school disrupted. We can’t afford homes. Many can’t have kids. But that’s still not enough. 🤷🏻‍♀️ by @wokedoctors

Randall Woodfin (@woodfinforbham) the mayor of Birmingham, Alabama, said on social media that if state lawmakers passed a bill barring diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs in the state’s public schools and universities, he would encourage parents of minority student-athletes to select colleges in states “where diversity and inclusion are prioritized.”

Woodfin was reacting to the state Senate’s approval this week of a bill that would also bar public schools from affirming “a divisive concept,” such as teaching that “slavery and racism are aligned with the founding principles of the United States” and that “fault, blame, or bias should be assigned to members of a race, color, religion, sex, ethnicity, or national origin, on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, ethnicity, or national origin.”

The bill would require a House vote before it can be signed into law by Gov. Kay Ivey, a Republican.

In Alabama, which is nearly 27% Black, college football is big business, with rivals the University of Alabama and Auburn University historically among the top programs in the country. In his post, Woodfin asked the “leadership, athletic directors and coaches” of those colleges whether they supported this proposed law. As of Friday, the schools had yet to publicly respond.

Woodfin continued: “To the parents of minority athletes who are helping their children decide if they want to play sports at those institutions: Would you be cool with your child playing at schools where diversity among staff is actively being discouraged?” by @wokedoctors

“The University of Florida has eliminated all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) positions at the university, according to an administrative memo that was released Friday.

The memo cites a recent state ban on the use of public funds for diversity, equity and inclusion programs, activities and policies — as well as activities for “political or social activism” — in the public college system. The Florida Board of Governors passed this restriction in January, shortly after the Florida Board of Education passed a similar ban.

The University of Florida has closed the Office of the Chief Diversity Officer, “eliminated DEI positions and administrative appointments, and halted DEI-focused contracts with outside vendors,” the memo states.

The Board of Governors defines DEI as “any program, campus activity, or policy that classifies individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, gender identity, or sexual orientation and promotes differential or preferential treatment of individuals on the basis of such classification.”

DEI, as defined by DEI professionals, is aimed at correcting inequities within an organization — this could include implementing accessibility measures for people with disabilities, correcting discriminatory hiring practices, addressing gender and racial pay inequities, anti-bias training, and more.

DEI practices have their roots in the anti-discrimination legislative movement of the 1960s of which the Civil Rights Act and Age Discrimination in Employment Act were born, according to ABC News’ past interviews with DEI professionals.”
