The DEI pivot has been robust as radonc has ended up in the proverbial toilet of specialty competitiveness, match wise.I’d like to be to see data on amount of research in DEI per medical specialty based on competitiveness of residency spots . I have no framework outside of radonc to know if this is par for the course or are we an outlier.
Many more of them are out in practice... Not sure a greater %To be fair, I have seen a lot more minorities in fields like med onc… now ortho would be interesting.

Master Class: Centering on Equity: Reflecting on Unconscious Bias, Dominant Culture and Privilege
Saturday, October 22 | 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
$25 - Members/Nonmember/Residents/Students
So, for 25 dollars you get to be a superstar champion?

They give you pictures of 10 people (it’s still ok to use that word, right?). Then you “contour” (aka circle) the ones you think fit into the appropriate gender and race categories. Then, they tell you what a bigoted and pan gender phobic person you are and educate you on your unconscious biases.
After you leave this seminar you should be more enlightened. Like these two boys here who learned about their white privilege:
Those were the Good ol days! This might be from the new series though. I can’t afford another streaming app so I wouldn’t know.Oh, boomer cartoons!
GenX 😁Oh, boomer cartoons!
They did a new b&b too? Gotta say new DuckTales definitely isn't anything as good as the originalThose were the Good ol days! This might be from the new series though. I can’t afford another streaming app so I wouldn’t know.

I've been enjoying it so far. Not every episode is great but there are several that are top notch.They did a new b&b too? Gotta say new DuckTales definitely isn't anything as good as the original
Have been liking the new ST series, wish they would still continue with the movies, I guess it was financial decision for them.... half a trillion box office max won't cut it anymore.I've been enjoying it so far. Not every episode is great but there are several that are top notch.

From what I heard, it’s a “white old man say bad thing”.Does anyone know what happened at RRS meeting? Seems like there were some “incidents” questioning the trend toward DEI in our field… multiple mass emails in my inbox today from leadership.
I remember in one of the ASTRO histories from I think Beryl McCormick how she “jokingly” told of a story where she and Jay Harris had a disagreement at a meeting over a breast treatment issue technicality. She said he didn’t speak to her for years. I don’t know if this is learned behavior in our field, or that our field attracts people with cancellation tendencies.From what I heard, it’s a “white old man say bad thing”.
I think it was an actual legit sh*tty comment that instead of listening and finding common ground, the fella got castigated. Why learn when we can cancel ??

Don’t know the comment, but several academics trafficking in wokeness claim to have “diversity labs”. Maybe they showed up at rrs and tried to pass this off as benchwork?From what I heard, it’s a “white old man say bad thing”.

Socioeconomic Diversity of the Matriculating US Medical Student Body by Race/Ethnicity and Sex
paging @OTN
I think you've posted about this before but I have seen this first hand at my rinky dink state med school and more so at the prestigious ivory tower med school where I did residency.
socioeconomic diversity should be considered. my wife and i were talking about how the people from the lowest SES at our med school were actually non-hispanic whites from rural areas.
This is probably going to cause a sh****orm, but I thought WeWhoCurie was restricted to women?
I am getting cancelled...
VaccinesDear Lord.
Where are their masks? Shame Shame Shame. I don't even see the just incase masks "I was holding my breath" around the wrists. Don't they know covid still exists and is killing people? My news feed on my work computer launch screen (which I don't remember signing up for) is constantly informing me of the incoming"tripledemic" which means, we need at least 4 masks right?
Funny how that stopped being a thing a few weeks ago all at once once the important people decided it should stop being a thing 2 years after it should have rightfully stopped being a thing.
The ones that came out 2 years ago?Vaccines
Yes + boostersThe ones that came out 2 years ago?
We finally got the all clear to interact with patients without face coverings on a few weeks ago, which is just fantastic, because we can behave as, you know, normal human beings again the way doctors and patients have always done, and from what I have heard many of my colleagues did the same at the same time, which cannot be a coincidence.Yes + boosters
It’s just the natural course of a pandemic, a new highly contagious virus, no adaptive immunity. People get it, develop immunity, new vaccines help to develop an immune response. The virus becomes endemic and less people die. I still wear masks by the way.We finally got the all clear to interact with patients without face coverings on a few weeks ago, which is just fantastic, because we can behave as, you know, normal human beings again the way doctors and patients have always done, and from what I have heard many of my colleagues did the same at the same time, which cannot be a coincidence.
But your comment is interesting to me. So it wasn't the vaccine, which was was found to not really be effective at protecting against transmission or infection but rather just serious illness/death, and came out out 2 years ago, nor the booster, which again same story and about a year ago was it novel, so what exactly changed over the past month? Curious why you are jumping to defend this obvious ridiculous nonsense?
MDACC, I love you and all your shameless masklessness. Go for it! Be an inspiration for us all. Antimask and womenwhocurie, I support both!
I do too if a pt requests it.

Patient facing of course.I do too if a pt requests it. Moon, khe, turaco etc might be surprised that happens more often than you think
We are voluntary pt facing as well. Easiest rule of thumb is probably to wear one when patient wearing onePatient facing of course.
I think poster means in non-required venues ?
It’s just culture now. Masks have essentially reached pants status.We are still wearing masks over here in all areas where patients have access to. Patients and visitors also have to wear one.
I do hope, noone will think about abolishing pants.It’s just culture now. Masks have essentially reached pants status.
I hear this argument all the time. And I think it's a wrong argument. Yes, neither masks nor boosters can exclude covid transmission, but both considerably limit covid transmission.Neither vaccines nor boosters prevent covid transmission and never have.
It has certainly been thought about...I do hope, noone will think about abolishing pants

At some point during the pandemic, the whole value of vaccines was questioned since all the anti-vaxxers were like "Look, all the vaccinated people still get COVID! Vaccines are wortless!".
I caught COVID myself this spring despite 3 vaccines, but I firmly believe that I would have caught it earlier on, had I not been vaccinated. It is evident that high levels of antibodies will neutralize virus and decrease the chance of becoming infection. At some point, it's probably all a matter of level of antibodies and viral load you are exposed to, when you reach some ratio (+ other intrinsic factors) you simply get COVID.
I also presume that in the future we will have to endure some sort of regular immunization (perhaps with an "easier" vaccine) or simply catch COVID every year.
There is no available data which supports the "both considerably limit covid transmission" statement.
Given that my cousin died from a vaccine-related heart injury at the age of 41, I will not be undergoing any further covid immunization.

At this point I don’t think it really matters anymore. You are either for or against it. Good news is that less people are dying from it and I have a way to protect myself and my family. I live in an area where it’s acceptable to either wear a mask or not and there really isn’t any judgment.
COVID vaccines slash risk of spreading Omicron — and so does previous infection
But the benefit of vaccines in reducing Omicron transmission doesn’t last for long.www.nature.com
Pretty much how i handle it, or if i have symptoms.I wear a mask intermittently around clinic based upon rates of cases of covid (and now flu!) in my area and/or on patient request. If a patient is wearing one I typically throw one on.

I'm not sure where you got the idea I would be combative with patients over masks. It's a very recent thing that policy has allowed maskless (can we just say normal?) patient interactions so this hasn't come up yet, but I'm sure it will (like the college professor patient I had who could not stop talking about politics at every OTV and insisted covid would be eradicated if everyone got the vaccine. Mmmmm-hmmm, yes, I agree, can we talk about your bowel movements though?). I have about as much interest in debating a mask-demanding patient as I do for coming into a 7AM meeting to discuss Press Ganey scores. The customer is always right, and I'd rather not have my name smeared on ratedoctors or the local reddit page by a i-want-to-talk-to-your-manager type.I do too if a pt requests it. Moon, khe, turaco etc might be surprised that happens more often than you think
What will you do when the hospitals mandate getting injected with Pfizer's next permutation of the shot lest you lose your privileges? You will suck it up and get it because our job market doesn't really give us any other choice but to let them inject us with things we may not want to be injected with.There is no available data which supports the "both considerably limit covid transmission" statement.
