Looking for an ID PharmD to be my buddy... Come join our team at Southcoast Health!
Here are three starter packs to help you connect with #womeninmedicine!
I’ll continue to update so let me know if you want to be added. 🤗 #MedSky
Pack 1: go.bsky.app/J1wqwu5
Pack 2: go.bsky.app/QWPZiaj
Pack 3: go.bsky.app/5iN8fLP
- have the confidence to go for it, don't hold yourself back. We're not perfect, no one is... we need women to step up and lead
- be intentional, when you rise, don't close the door, keep it open and help others come with you, drag them with you!
- Don't let fear stop your growth
- It's great to have mentors, but you need sponsors who can help you navigate your path
- call out disrespect
- the middle is hard, but there's tremendous power there
- you can do all of the things, just pace yourself and choose when to do it
-There's no right or wrong, just a choice
- have a board of directors... your people, they will help you sort out your feelings
Posting these gems from the Women in ID lecture from IDWeek2024 #IDsky as they seem extraordinarily important today
-Look up, Look wide... see the bigger picture.
- opportunities come when they come, and they may not come again
Sending some good vibes to all my colleagues out there... these were distressed orchids i rescued a few months ago... now reblooming ❤️
My first #IDSky post will be a shameless promotion of our new UTI WikiGuideline!
jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
Of 37 questions, only 6 had enough data to fully meet criteria for a clear recommendation!
The final piece of advice I would like to give to new folks tonight is that Bluesky will be what you make of it. When I came over from the former Twitter, I resolved to be more kind to others here than I was over there. That choice has made being here so much better. Keep it in mind for yourself.
Would love one too!
More from IDWeek ❤️
Loving those snacks! Hopefully the stress gets better!

Dear IDTwitter refugees
I made an #IDSky starter pack which makes it easy to find accounts of ID clinicians, medical microbiologists, ID researchers, ID epidemiologists, ID focused reporters, and of course journals ahead of the curve. Let me know if I missed you!
