@soumya-goblue.bsky.socialI will say this is HIGHLY department dependent. not experienced this in my individual #Geriatrics division, by far majority women with woman Division Chair for last 4 years. But, let's just say, I'm...not surprised this is happening in other Departments (also universal in US #academicmedicine)
@soumya-goblue.bsky.socialYikes. Moral of the story, Answer all 600 questions I guess. (It’ll be 1200 cuz I’ll be maintaining #Geriatrics) as well. Sorry you are going through that, the ABIM is ass at communicating this
@jhospmedicine.bsky.socialA dementia-focused hospital unit reduced constant observation, benzodiazepines, and PRN antipsychotics, shifting care from reactive to proactive. 🧠

@soumya-goblue.bsky.socialI just thought, as #medicine has become a more female coded profession, the toxic #misogynists are self-selecting out. Which is good for the profession and for patients. Already the case in specialties like #Pediatrics, #OBGYN and #Geriatrics. But med school as a whole has become “women’s work”

@macesari.bsky.socialIn our paper, we cautioned that multiplying #frailty subtypes could dilute the concept's holistic intent
...Just saw it cited to justify a new subtype: #vascularfrailty
Not quite the takeaway we had in mind... 😅

@soumya-goblue.bsky.socialFor context, the President of Mexico has almost the same H-index (35) as our new #Geriatrics division chair at a top 10 US research university who was at the top of the National institute of Aging of #NIH until she came here.
33 is an extremely productive scholar.
@soumya-goblue.bsky.socialNot the only reason I chose a majority #women #medical specialty, but it certainly contributed. The cishet men who go into #Geriatrics (<30% of Geris), especially in last 10 years are...not like this. They are comfortable around women, most I've known grew up in households with mostly women.
