Why 'merit' is flawed:
Women aren't offered career building opportunities, so when the promotion comes, of course women aren't qualified.
This is a self perpetuating lack of diversity amplified for under-represented groups in medicine. In group bias is a powerful force.

Gender equity requires redefinition of 'success' for all. The UK though seems to be well ahead of Australia with 'return to work', but this is only improved in the last 10 years.

Tremendously excited to be a part of this work-congratulations to the Gender Equity Subcommittee ANZCA and to co authors. Thank you to 𝘈𝘯𝘢𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘢 and Seema Agarwal for coordinating and promoting our work. #genderequity #returntowork Critical Care at UniMelb UniMelb MDHS

I rarely post papers on which I'm an author
But the first author of this one is a junior colleague launching a #meded career
Louise Allen is a FULBRIGHT SCHOLAR & a new faculty member at University of Melbourne

Fun working w/ Louise & @dorenebalmer

This should be morally embarrassing for ABC News #4corners and Adele Ferguson. The public deserve quality journalistic fact-checking, not extrapolation & unconscious incompetence from commercially vested sources like Margaret #Faux . Like GP 'rorting', they wrongly damaged again.

Huge thanks to coauthors A/Prof Kate Reid UniMelb MDHS and A/Prof Neville Chiavaroli ACER and the women who generously gave their time and experience to this work. Also a huge thank you to the CrashCourse faculty who are passionate about helping drs return to work.

'The #Qualitative Analysis Trap (or, Coding Until Blue in the Face)' - Coding is less about the deconstruction of interview or discussion data and more about ensuring that each participant’s lived experience related to the research question remains intact bit.ly/2XAlERZ

I've started teaching my daughter effective learning techniques. Here's what the evidence tells us

Best: practice testing, distributed practice

Moderate: self-explanation, interleaved practice, elab interrogation

Worst: summarizing, highlighting, rereading, mnemonics
