 | Megan (Meegan) R. Gerber, MD, MPH, FACP @meggerber @PoojaLakshmin @womeninmedchat @petradMD @DrPoorman Hi Megan Gerber General internist med educator fellowship director VA/BU #WomenInMedicine critical topic tonight |
 | Erin Lincoln, MD @LadyEMSMD Oooh I’m late for #WomenInMedicine Chat! Howdy everyone, I’m a new EM intern and had an outstanding shift today! |
 | Shahrzad Tehranian (Shar) @SharTehranian @womeninmedchat @petradMD @DrPoorman Hi, my name is Shar, an MD, current research trainee @Mayoclinic. Will apply to IM residency this year. Hope my dream come true 😊. Happy to be here. 🙂#WomeninMedicine |
 | Hasan Shanawani MD @hshanawaniMD @DrPoorman @CoherenceMed @Mud_Fud @docs4docs @Adamhill1212 @laxswamy @PoojaLakshmin @ahmedhankir @ShreyaTrivediMD @thecurbsiders Hi all! Invited by @DrPoorman. Not a trainee but i was one. Also related to #WomenInMedicine by marriage. A #patientsafety person mainly |
| Indu Partha, MD FACP @InduPartha @womeninmedchat I think knowledge, and a clear "plan of action" are keys. (2/2) #WomenInMedicine |
 | Lizbeth Alvarez @Liz_Alvarez_MPH @womeninmedchat I think programs should de-stigmatize seeking mental health counseling and allowing for time off to make those therapy appointments. #WomenInMedicine |
| Janae Sharp @CoherenceMed Would love to hear about resident mental health programs @andrewintech @KBDeSalvo @boissyad @drjessigold @ShereesePubHlth @DrSimpsonHSR @sacjai @ShannonOMac @laxswamy @BurgartBioethix #womeninmedicine |
| Priyanka V. Chugh, MD, MS @AntiWheatGirl @womeninmedchat A1 From what I’ve seen so far, a program should foster a culture where residents take mental health seriously and support each other. Especially where seniors and PDs speak up and don’t tolerate bullying or a malignant culture. #WomenInMedicine |
| Erin Lincoln, MD @LadyEMSMD @womeninmedchat A1: My program is particular about strongly enforcing duty hours. Also, my attendings have made sure I’ve taken a break for food mid-shift every shift so far. They ask me if I’m overwhelmed. I get enough days off. #WomenInMedicine |
| Ali Mientus @amientus04 @womeninmedchat A1: Programs should encourage meaningful connection between residents, decrease "busy work," and ensure that administrators are aware of signs/sx and supportive of residents! #womeninmedicine |
 | Stephanie Miaco, M.D. @StephMiaco @womeninmedchat Good Morning everyone! Great topic! Dr. Stephanie Miaco, tweeting from the Philippines. A1 In my opinion, having a non-judgmental workspace environment and readily available mental health protocol should be in place.Help-seeking is the hard part. #WomenInMedicine |
| Shreya P. Trivedi MD, MHPE @ShreyaTrivediMD @womeninmedchat A1. No easy solns and requires multiple approaches. If I had to pick 1, easy access to #mentalhealth help. I wish there were more options for #telehealth for therapy #WomeninMedicine |
| Janae Sharp @CoherenceMed RT @Liz_Alvarez_MPH: @womeninmedchat I think programs should de-stigmatize seeking mental health counseling and allowing for time off to make those therapy appointments. #WomenInMedicine |
| Joumana Chaïban @JoumanaChaiban @womeninmedchat A1: encourage residents to speak and seek help as needed, early recognition, have a plan of action in place #WomenInMedicine |
| Janae Sharp @CoherenceMed @Liz_Alvarez_MPH @womeninmedchat Yes! Having resources that you can’t use is stupid. #womeninmedicine |
| Leena Mathew MD @lmathew9001 @womeninmedchat A1. Open door policies, safe zones for residents to have open conversations re: mental health + about available resources. We have a psychologist on staff and we do screening/ CBT and coping exercises atleast once a month. There’s so much more that can be done #WomenInMedicine |
 | Alan J. Card @AlanJCard RT @CoherenceMed: Would love to hear about resident mental health programs @andrewintech @KBDeSalvo @boissyad @drjessigold @ShereesePubHlth @DrSimpsonHSR @sacjai @ShannonOMac @laxswamy @BurgartBioethix #womeninmedicine |
| Pooja Lakshmin MD @PoojaLakshmin @womeninmedchat A1. There are so many things that programs can do. Two of the biggest barriers to getting treatment in residency are cost and time. Some programs make a point of allowing residents an hour a week for therapy. This is great. #Womeninmedicine |
| Priyanka V. Chugh, MD, MS @AntiWheatGirl @womeninmedchat I also have really felt so far that it’s best when a program acknowledges that residents have lives and families outside of the hospital and helps residents take time to prioritize those things sometimes too #WomenInMedicine |
| Janae Sharp @CoherenceMed @womeninmedchat I think programs should proactively give residents training in coping with stress - plan it in their schedule. Make it mandatory. Also/ consider changing how you teach to account for a healthy workforce. #womeninmedicine |
| Mariah Robertson MD MPH @MLRobertsonMD @womeninmedchat A1 - more personalized residency training - hard to do when trainees are primary workforce for hospitals, but residency isn’t 1 size fits all & more control over ur experience might allow for more happiness (w/ core competencies of course) #WomenInMedicine |
| Marie Reilly, MD @MarieReillyMD @womeninmedchat A1: I agree with @InduPartha; I think that a good first step is even just to recognize that #depression can be common in residents and in carers in general. Awareness, recognition, and actionable steps can help decrease the #stigma. #womeninmedicine |
 | Jennie Foster, MD MPH @DrJenFos @womeninmedchat A1. Echoing what others have said: increasing awareness, de-stigmatizing, and giving residents protected time to go to appointments #WomenInMedicine |
| Marguerite Duane @mduanemd @womeninmedchat A1. Adequate sleep & regular exercise is so important as is a solid support network & providing space to process some of the challenges of being a doctor. At @LGFamMedRes we had a regular Balint group that met giving us space to discuss difficult cases #WomenInMedicine @aafp |
 | Dr. Unburnt Poorman @DrPoorman RT @ShreyaTrivediMD: @womeninmedchat A1. No easy solns and requires multiple approaches. If I had to pick 1, easy access to #mentalhealth help. I wish there were more options for #telehealth for therapy #WomeninMedicine |
 | Yaolin Zhou, MD @YaolinZhouMD @womeninmedchat A1 I think it’s important to recognize our humanity and “life” happens throughout medical training. I talk about my own struggles as a #physician mom and #WomenInMedicine and hope that I don’t lose respect by sharing my own vulnerabilities |
| Stephanie Miaco, M.D. @StephMiaco I agree with this, because patient load can be overwhelming, and residents would be torn between the sense of duty and self care. #WomenInMedicine |
| Pooja Lakshmin MD @PoojaLakshmin @womeninmedchat A1. I also know some programs like Northwestern and others have designated separate mental health providers (who are not medical school faculty) that can see residents for low fee. This ensures that residents can get confidential help.#WomenInMedicine |
| Janae Sharp @CoherenceMed RT @PoojaLakshmin: @womeninmedchat A1. There are so many things that programs can do. Two of the biggest barriers to getting treatment in residency are cost and time. Some programs make a point of allowing residents an hour a week for therapy. This is great. #Womeninmedicine |
| Alan J. Card @AlanJCard RT @CoherenceMed: @Liz_Alvarez_MPH @womeninmedchat Yes! Having resources that you can’t use is stupid. #womeninmedicine |
| Indu Partha, MD FACP @InduPartha @CoherenceMed @womeninmedchat I think also training on how to ask for help, and say, "hey not doing so good today." #WomenInMedicine |
| Janae Sharp @CoherenceMed A1- agreed- #telehealth solutions are smart. #womeninmedicine |
 | Dr. Kayla @DrKaylaB A1: I think one of the most important thing is to have supports in place. So often, programs wait until a resident is in trouble before reminding them of item 285 they learned during orientation - the place to go if they are struggling with mental health. #WomenInMedicine |
 | Jane Liebschutz (she/her) @liebschutz @womeninmedchat @petradMD @DrPoorman Jane Liebschutz #WomenInMedicine internal Medicine, Addiction Medicine, precentive medicine. Clinician investigator in all things opioid, physician wellness and proud @PittGIM chief |
 | Lakshman Swamy (laxswamy@bsky.social) @laxswamy RT @womeninmedchat: Please feel free to keep introducing yourselves as we get started with Q1: Please feel free to keep introducing yourselves as we get started with Q1: 40% of interns screen positive for depression. What do you think programs should do to protect their residents? #WomenInMedicine https://t.co/PiSQbbo8pp |
 | Dr Kirsten Connan @TassieObGyn @womeninmedchat @petradMD @DrPoorman Kirsten ObGyn in Tasmania, Australia #WomenInMedicine ⭐️ |
 | Jamee Walters, MD @jamee_walters @womeninmedchat We need to own that residency causes depression and instead of treating it, find ways to prevent it. #WomenInMedicine |
 | Shereese Maynard, MS; MBA 😷 She/Her @ShereeseMayMba Hello all. Sorry to be late. #womeninmedicine https://t.co/yCWg3vTcYV |
 | ♫Margie Arnett, MS @MargieArnett RT @womeninmedchat: In 10 mins! Plz join us 2nite, July 14/19 @ 9pm ET, 4another great #WomenInMedicine chat on resident mental health with @DrPoorman. Plz share! #girlmedtwitter #medtwitter #medstudenttwitter #meded #FOAMed #hcsm #SomeDocs #HeforShe #Ilooklikeasurgeon #shemd #PROWD #medstudentchat https://t.co/26j4JkPUie |
| Lakshman Swamy (laxswamy@bsky.social) @laxswamy @womeninmedchat Protection and prevention are important, but we should be proactive and find depression among residents and connect to services too. #WomenInMedicine |
| Janae Sharp @CoherenceMed @PoojaLakshmin @womeninmedchat Yes- having anonymous help is important. There’s a lot of risk for medical students and residents. #womeninmedicine |
| Priyanka V. Chugh, MD, MS @AntiWheatGirl @DoctorKelsey @womeninmedchat They did that for us at @The_BMC @BMCSurgery with PCP appointments! It was so great to be able to establish care with someone who also counseled me about mental health during residency. @J_SchneiderMD #WomenInMedicine |
| Dr. Kayla @DrKaylaB A1: I also think it speaks to a larger issue -- PDs can influence change in the way state medical boards ask questions about mental health. They, and the rest of us, need to work harder to eliminate questions that stigmatize and punish those who seek help. #WomenInMedicine |
| Jamee Walters, MD @jamee_walters @womeninmedchat A1: advocating for the question about mental health to be taken off credentialing. People won’t seek help if they think it will hurt their careers. #WomeninMedicine |
| Lizbeth Alvarez @Liz_Alvarez_MPH RT @womeninmedchat: Please feel free to keep introducing yourselves as we get started with Q1: Please feel free to keep introducing yourselves as we get started with Q1: 40% of interns screen positive for depression.

 | Sanjana Mathur @teaandreverie @womeninmedchat @petradMD @DrPoorman Hi everyone! Sanjana here 🙋🏻♀️ Baby’s asleep after a long day of playing and I have my tea 😌 hope everyone had a great weekend #WomenInMedicine https://t.co/q9lq9lERjc |
| Janae Sharp @CoherenceMed @InduPartha @womeninmedchat I’ve started being more honest about this. It’s - weird. You definitely have to learn balance. I’ve also started saying “I don’t want to talk about it” #womeninmedicine |
| Marguerite Duane @mduanemd @faithfulMDcoach @womeninmedchat A1. This is so critical. During my 3rd year of residency I delayed seeking treatment for #mentalhealth issues because I did not feel comfortable seeing someone at the hospital where I trained but never had much time away from the place to seek care elsewhere! #WomeninMedicine |
| #WomenInMedicine Chat @womeninmedchat Great ideas everyone, now it's time for Q2: Residents seeking care are afraid of being labeled and discriminated against. If you are worried about a colleague etc., how can you reach out while protecting their privacy? #WomenInMedicine https://t.co/t9ka8GE18H |
 | The Feelings Doctor @talkpsychtome @womeninmedchat @petradMD @DrPoorman So excited to be here, as a psychologist interested in improving mental health for all! #WomenInMedicine |
| Janae Sharp @CoherenceMed @teaandreverie @womeninmedchat @petradMD @DrPoorman I WANT THOSE SHOES. Wait my baby hates hates hates shoes. What is your secret?#womeninmedicine https://t.co/T02EUKU8SC |
| Annie Massart @Annie_Massart_ @womeninmedchat In addition to reducing stigma, programs should have faculty development to help faculty recognize the struggling trainee (or colleague!) AND have the communication skills to broach the situation in a non-threatening, non-judgmental way. #WomenInMedicine |
 | Kristen Young @kristenyoung @womeninmedchat @petradMD @DrPoorman Hi there, Kristen, rheum fellow, excited to be able to join in on this #WomenInMedicine chat tonight! |
| Shereese Maynard, MS; MBA 😷 She/Her @ShereeseMayMba @CoherenceMed @womeninmedchat Adding more mandatory programs could add to the stress of some residents. That said, I do believe self-care, and stress-reducing activities should be encouraged through the curriculum #WomenInMedicine |
 | Dr. Ruthi Landau @ruthi_landau @womeninmedchat @petradMD @DrPoorman #ObAnes at @ColumbiaObAnes interested in all of it #wellness #meded #postpartumdepression #labordoesnthavetohurt #pain #opioids #WomenInMedicine |
 | Brinda Desai, MD @mdbdesai @InduPartha @CoherenceMed @womeninmedchat I think being open about this is key! As I am navigating a new position in my career, I am learning the impact of sharing my personal experiences and struggles; I try to be as transparent as I can because I wish someone was that way with me #WomenInMedicine |
| Ali Mientus @amientus04 @womeninmedchat A2: Reach out to them outside of work and be aware of resources that are available. Find out what they need most that you can realistically provide. Assure them that they aren't alone. #womeninmedicine |
| Janae Sharp @CoherenceMed RT @womeninmedchat: Great ideas everyone, now it's time for Q2: Great ideas everyone, now it's time for Q2: Residents seeking care are afraid of being labeled and discriminated against. If you are worried about a colleague etc., how can you reach out while protecting their privacy? #WomenInMedicine https://t.co/t9ka8GE18H |
| Leena Mathew MD @lmathew9001 @ShreyaTrivediMD @womeninmedchat So true. All else is useless if the trainee can’t access the resources #womeninmedicine |
| Jamee Walters, MD @jamee_walters @womeninmedchat A2: it’s hard. i would go to the person first bc my group is small. For residents, going to the chiefs. #WomeninMedicine |
| Mariah Robertson MD MPH @MLRobertsonMD @womeninmedchat A2. It starts with building connections b/f someone needs help. Right when they match. This makes a convo over a walk or ☕️ so much easier and comfortable. Ensure confidentiality and follow through in the support. It doesn’t end when then get a provider. #WomeninMedicine |
| Janae Sharp @CoherenceMed @womeninmedchat I- tried to reach out without success when my (then) husband was in school. Everyone said the stress was normal. I think it needs to come from school leadership assuming many students are struggling as a setpoint. Assume medical students can be happy. #womeninmedicine |
| KaraPepperMD @KaraPepperMD @womeninmedchat A2. Speaking to them directly. “I’m worried about you. How can I help?” People want to be seen and heard and validated. Depression is so lonely, and colleagues need a lifeline. #WomenInMedicine |
| Stephanie Miaco, M.D. @StephMiaco I agree with this...most definitely. #WomenInMedicine |
| Dr. Kayla @DrKaylaB A2: As chief resident, I faced this very scenario. I learned a lot. You have to acknowledge the colleague's autonomy and be mindful that your concern may be unwanted. Reach out certainly, but respect the boundaries. #WomenInMedicine |
| Indu Partha, MD FACP @InduPartha @womeninmedchat Hopefully, it would start a conversation. I would be honest and let them know I was going to try to get them help. #WomenInMedicine (2/2) |
| Shreya P. Trivedi MD, MHPE @ShreyaTrivediMD @womeninmedchat A2. Reach out with careful attention and plan with how you will #preface the convo and create a safe space I often normalize with my own struggles to help them feel more comfortable being vulnerable #WomeninMedicine |
 | Ren @rendocrinology @womeninmedchat A1: Let them sleep, have hobbies, eat well. Let them find meaning in their work. Provide counseling for ALL residents, at least one session per quarter. The ACGME should also work to eliminate invasive mental health Qs from state licensure apps. #womeninmedicine |
| Lakshman Swamy (laxswamy@bsky.social) @laxswamy @CanadianKayMD @TaraRHEE @womeninmedchat Old model: work all the time, your wife will take care of that stuff Current model: everything is different, but actually that's still the expectation. For everyone. 🙄 #WomenInMedicine |
| Stephanie Miaco, M.D. @StephMiaco RT @ruthi_landau: @womeninmedchat @petradMD @DrPoorman #ObAnes at @ColumbiaObAnes interested in all of it #wellness #meded #postpartumdepression #labordoesnthavetohurt #pain #opioids #WomenInMedicine |
| Jane Liebschutz (she/her) @liebschutz @womeninmedchat A2 #WomenInMedicine Make a safe place to seek help that is divorced from the program directors and supervising faculty physicians. University of Pittsburgh SOM has therapists on retainer free of charge for SOM students |
| Shereese Maynard, MS; MBA 😷 She/Her @ShereeseMayMba A1 A way we can reduce stress is by lessening the required hours for residents. With innovation, this is entirely possible. A recent study showed that lessening hour did not negatively impact patient care. https://t.co/giIsH8zm7B #WomenInMedicine |
| Brinda Desai, MD @mdbdesai @womeninmedchat A2: I think reaching out directly, sharing your personal story (but only if you are at that point), and helping them navigate the various practical ways to get the care they need is how I approach it. #WomenInMedicine |
| Janae Sharp @CoherenceMed @ShereesePubHlth @womeninmedchat Yes- schedule it- not an extra thing. Not having it built in ensures that many students won’t do it- they don’t have time. #womeninmedicine |
| Shereese Maynard, MS; MBA 😷 She/Her @ShereeseMayMba RT @CoherenceMed: @ShereesePubHlth @womeninmedchat Yes- schedule it- not an extra thing. Not having it built in ensures that many students won’t do it- they don’t have time. #womeninmedicine |
| Pooja Lakshmin MD @PoojaLakshmin @womeninmedchat A1. As a psychiatrist I’m lucky to be well connected with other mental health clinicians in my community. I will usually reach out to the individual personally & privately and let them know I can give them names of therapists or other psychiatrists. #WomeninMedicine |
| Alan J. Card @AlanJCard RT @laxswamy: @CanadianKayMD @TaraRHEE @womeninmedchat Old model: @CanadianKayMD @TaraRHEE @womeninmedchat Old model: work all the time, your wife will take care of that stuff Current model: everything is different, but actually that's still the expectation. For everyone. 🙄 #WomenInMedicine |

For everyone. 🙄 #WomenInMedicine |
 | Sonja @sonjashining @womeninmedchat A2. I don’t think there is the answer. Every one is different. Ideally, approach & offer support - if you can provide it - only go to chiefs or others if VERY worried. It can gave serious fallout. It shouldn’t but it can #WomenInMedicine |
| Janae Sharp @CoherenceMed @laxswamy @CanadianKayMD @TaraRHEE @womeninmedchat Yep. #womeninmedicine |
 | Dr. Catherine Lott @doctalott During my first clinical rotation in med school: You should go into Family Medicine (not Surgery or EM) because it’s time for you to start having children (I’m 32 and this was 6 years ago)... #WomenInMedicine #misogyny |
| Dr Kirsten Connan @TassieObGyn @womeninmedchat A2: In Australia we have this great opportunity to use telehealth with both psychologists and psychiatrists (who specifically support medical practitioners) so you can choose to maintain anonymity but receive excellent care. Such a valuable and valued system. #WomenInMedicine ⭐️ |
| Joumana Chaïban @JoumanaChaiban @womeninmedchat A2: I would ask general questions first like how are they doing? How is work? How is family? What did you do this week end? Any plans a social life ? Then tailor my questions.... #WomenInMedicine |
| Ren @rendocrinology @womeninmedchat A2: Approach them outside of work with the goal to listen. Ask how they’re doing and really mean it. Be vulnerable with your own struggles to create a safe space. Offer to help find resources, or be a resource yourself. #WomenInMedicine |
| Sanjana Mathur @teaandreverie @womeninmedchat A1. Be open to listening to & aware of what the residents have on their plates and from what I gather- a little understanding goes a long way. Most residents are extremely hard working and the time to make it to important events or self care is very appreciated #WomenInMedicine |
| Shereese Maynard, MS; MBA 😷 She/Her @ShereeseMayMba @Connankf @womeninmedchat I've been trying to get something like that funded here in the states. Anonymity is a vital component and on-demand access to services. #WomenInMedicine |
| Lakshman Swamy (laxswamy@bsky.social) @laxswamy @CanadianKayMD @TaraRHEE @womeninmedchat Exactly - many w/o partner, many with working partners. Also once you have kids it is totally unreasonable to say OK you just do all that stuff and I'll do my important doctor job. #WomenInMedicine |
| Sonja @sonjashining @womeninmedchat A2. Also, if you’ve created an environment of a team - a collective - then there is inherent support. Recognize that groups tend to isolate individuals, loneliness increases depression. Be cognizant of that and foster inclusion outside of work #WomenInMedicine |
| Sanjana Mathur @teaandreverie @AntiWheatGirl @DoctorKelsey @womeninmedchat @The_BMC @BMCSurgery @J_SchneiderMD I saw you tweet about this and honestly that’s when @The_BMC became my dream program #WomeninMedicine |
| Sanjana Mathur @teaandreverie RT @AntiWheatGirl: @womeninmedchat A1 From what I’ve seen so far, a program should foster a culture where residents take mental health seriously and support each other. Especially where seniors and PDs speak up and don’t tolerate bullying or a malignant culture. #WomenInMedicine |
| Shahrzad Tehranian (Shar) @SharTehranian @womeninmedchat A2: Being supported by the program, few people should involve to protect the privacy and self-confidence of the resident. They might be scared that every behaviours are labeled as a sign of depression and it will be frustrating and shameful over time. #WomeninMedicine |
| Sanjana Mathur @teaandreverie RT @AntiWheatGirl: @womeninmedchat I also have really felt so far that it’s best when a program acknowledges that residents have lives and families outside of the hospital and helps residents take time to prioritize those things sometimes too #WomenInMedicine |
| Alan J. Card @AlanJCard RT @ShereesePubHlth: A1 A way we can reduce stress is by lessening the required hours for residents. With innovation, this is entirely possible. A recent study showed that lessening hour did not negatively impact patient care. https://t.co/giIsH8zm7B #WomenInMedicine |
| Shreya P. Trivedi MD, MHPE @ShreyaTrivediMD @womeninmedchat The interesting part of these convos if often you don’t know how it’s going to go and how much the individual has #processed what’s going on - medicine fosters playing/acting your role and not pausing as much #WomeninMedicine |
| Indu Partha, MD FACP @InduPartha @AliMientus @ShreyaTrivediMD @womeninmedchat I worry that I don't have stories to share...don't want my words of understanding/concern to come across as superficial or lip service. #WomenInMedicine |
| Leena Mathew MD @lmathew9001 @womeninmedchat A2. ok to have private conversation w/ trainee “i noticed that you .... how can I help.” Then point him/her to available resources+ assuring confidentiality. I also like having peer support groups /small pods of trainees ( intern, 1st 2nd 3rd years) #WomenInMedicine |
| Alan J. Card @AlanJCard RT @Connankf: @womeninmedchat A2: @womeninmedchat A2: In Australia we have this great opportunity to use telehealth with both psychologists and psychiatrists (who specifically support medical practitioners) so you can choose to maintain anonymity but receive excellent care.

| Leena Mathew MD @lmathew9001 @talkpsychtome @womeninmedchat I agree and I find having a psychologist on staff to be an invaluable resource for my patients and my staff. #WomeninMedicine |
 | Susan Li, MD @susanli0888 Please help out this beautiful friend, colleague, and new mother-- who is enduring the most difficult time of her life. She has demonstrated incredible strength and courage in this, but she needs all of our love and support. #womeninmedicine https://t.co/mYB8hEZwpP via @gofundme |
| Marguerite Duane @mduanemd @CanadianKayMD @DrPoorman @womeninmedchat This was a fabulous thread! Thank you for sharing again with #WomenInMedicine such important information! @faithfulMDcoach @DonnaChacko @petradMD |
| Kristen Young @kristenyoung @womeninmedchat So many great answers, & am inspired by what other programs are doing. Program level changes: 1) access to care- accessing the EAP and allowing for time off rotations to see providers, ideal: on call psychologists, 2) 100% agree with de-stigmatizing, it works. #WomenInMedicine |

| #WomenInMedicine Chat @womeninmedchat Amazing insight everyone, now it's time for Q3: What are some best practices for individual residents concerned about their risk for mental illness in training? #WomenInMedicine https://t.co/ym8PhZLGKm |
 | Carol Pak-Teng, MD FAAEM @CPakTengMD @womeninmedchat @petradMD @DrPoorman Hey everyone, EM attending and advocate through AAEM Board of Directors and multiple #WomeninMedicine and #DiversityandInclusion groups through @aaeminfo and @ACEPNow |
| Sanjana Mathur @teaandreverie @womeninmedchat A2. Don’t be known as the program or colleagues who stigmatize residents who need help. Be known as the program who supports the residents first of all. If worried about a colleague, talk to them first then support them in acquiring help, time off etc #WomeninMedicine |
| Sonja @sonjashining @womeninmedchat When I figure it out, I’ll share... #stuckinresidency #WomenInMedicine |
| Jamee Walters, MD @jamee_walters @womeninmedchat A3: setting up care early. We have a healthcare professional they can go to routinely for free. Keeping primary care appointments. Trying to keep one with a hobby or sport you liked before residency. Don’t give everything up. #WomeninMedicine |
| Sonja @sonjashining RT @womeninmedchat: Amazing insight everyone, now it's time for Q3: Amazing insight everyone, now it's time for Q3: What are some best practices for individual residents concerned about their risk for mental illness in training? #WomenInMedicine https://t.co/ym8PhZLGKm |
| Brinda Desai, MD @mdbdesai @DoctorKelsey @womeninmedchat I agree, reaching out to loved ones subjective. At the beginning of the year, I reached out to the spouses of our residents and stated that the family unit's well-being is a top priority for me and that if they are ever worried, I was a resource. #WomenInMedicine |
| The Feelings Doctor @talkpsychtome @womeninmedchat A2. Watch how you talk about other people. If you gossip about other people’s mental health or judge people for struggling.... you are not a safe person. This includes how we talk about our patients. If you call someone crazy, am I going to trust you? #WomenInMedicine |
| Shreya P. Trivedi MD, MHPE @ShreyaTrivediMD @womeninmedchat A3. concerned about their risk of being discriminated against? Not sure the best practices but id have reach out to ppl 1-2 years ahead that had mental health issues and ask how they navigated interviews and/or state licenses, etc. #WomeninMedicine |
| Shereese Maynard, MS; MBA 😷 She/Her @ShereeseMayMba Q3. Have scheduled self-care time. Understand your triggers and design coping mechanisms with the assistance of a counselor. Don't think, "this will just pass;" ask for help. #WomenInMedicine |
| Sanjana Mathur @teaandreverie @womeninmedchat 3. Do not send them on a yoga retreat or lecture about wellness. Have readily available resources for counseling and seniors who *listen* #WomenInMedicine |
| Erin Lincoln, MD @LadyEMSMD @womeninmedchat A3: I’m just starting residency training, but I have already figured out that me-time is important. I’ve promised myself that I will go for a run at least once per week with my doggos. I also prioritize sleep. Looking forward to hearing the other responses! #WomenInMedicine |
| Shreeya Popat, MD @SPopatMD @womeninmedchat A1: Loved @jenniferrenu series on resident wellness, particularly part 2 that focuses on the importance of systemic cultural change and not just going after "low-hanging fruit." https://t.co/VTkJB2UVeN #WomenInMedicine |
| Stephanie Miaco, M.D. @StephMiaco A1 Having a work colleague who you trust and who can check on you (because oftentimes we are not aware of ourselves) and see your regular progress (or problems) and whether you are burnt out or not is essential. #womenInMedicine |
| Alan J. Card @AlanJCard RT @teaandreverie: @womeninmedchat A2. Don’t be known as the program or colleagues who stigmatize residents who need help. Be known as the program who supports the residents first of all. If worried about a colleague, talk to them first then support them in acquiring help, time off etc #WomeninMedicine |
| Carol Pak-Teng, MD FAAEM @CPakTengMD @womeninmedchat If I had know the risk ahead of time, I would have set these plans up beforehand. Power of the knowledge the risk is there for every person is key. You are not alone and everyone is at risk. #WomenInMedicine |
| Janae Sharp @CoherenceMed @womeninmedchat 1. Have a support system 2. Have a counselor 3. Research the residency/ some are known to be antagonistic 4. Know your rights. You shouldn’t be put in situations that make it impossible to be healthy. #womeninmedicine |
| Dr. Kayla @DrKaylaB Yes, legislation is needed and programs need to provide access to mental health care. It should be a national mandate, not up to the whim and convenience of the program. #WomenInMedicine |
| Pooja Lakshmin MD @PoojaLakshmin @womeninmedchat A3. What worked for me in residency was finding a therapist who had a flexible schedule. This was huge for me. There were some weeks I could go ever weeks# & some months I didn’t make it. But knowing that I had *someone* made a huge difference. #WomenInMedicine |
 | Danielle Blais PharmD BCCP @blais_danielle RT @susanli0888: Please help out this beautiful friend, colleague, and new mother-- who is enduring the most difficult time of her life. She has demonstrated incredible strength and courage in this, but she needs all of our love and support. #womeninmedicine https://t.co/mYB8hEZwpP via @gofundme |
| Brinda Desai, MD @mdbdesai @womeninmedchat A3: I do not know that I have it figured out but I now try to admit the struggles I am facing to myself vs pretending everything is okay, I try to stay active with my yoga practice, I allow myself to get the sleep I need on my days off, and talk about bad days #WomenInMedicine |

| Annie Massart @Annie_Massart_ @womeninmedchat A3: Take time to periodically reflect on your work and life to see what is filling your tank and what is draining your tank. Learn how to recognize your own cues for when your tank is starting to run low. Make a plan for how to increase self-care when its low. #WomenInMedicine |
| Indu Partha, MD FACP @InduPartha @womeninmedchat There was a certain bit of naivete/ignorance=bliss. #WomenInMedicine |
 | Tomas Guerrero @DrTomasGuerrero RT @susanli0888: Please help out this beautiful friend, colleague, and new mother-- who is enduring the most difficult time of her life.

| Janae Sharp @CoherenceMed @teaandreverie @womeninmedchat Omg someone send me on a yoga retreat. And watch my kids and do my work for me and have my house actually be clean when I get back. Is that a thing? #womeninmedicine |
| Dr. Kayla @DrKaylaB This. And please, for the love of God, don't give them wellness modules they have to spend precious time watching and taking quizzes on. It totally defeats the purpose. #WomenInMedicine |
| Leena Mathew MD @lmathew9001 @womeninmedchat A3. Encourage self care and encourage speaking up #WomenInMedicine |
| Mariah Robertson MD MPH @MLRobertsonMD @womeninmedchat A3. I got advice to reflect on my clues I was heading ➡️ depression b4 it was full blown. Give examples of what that might feel like (emotionally disconnected, snapping @ loved ones) Help residents preempt it & LISTEN/have a plan to help when they are there. #WomenInMedicine |
| Alan J. Card @AlanJCard RT @DrKaylaB: Yes, legislation is needed and programs need to provide access to mental health care. It should be a national mandate, not up to the whim and convenience of the program. #WomenInMedicine |
 | CJ McAdams MD PhD @carriejm007 @talkpsychtome @womeninmedchat A2. Talking about how mental wellness is spectrum is critical. Language that fosters a continuum rather than a dichotomy (sick/well them/us patient/provider) is important. Verbalizing your own challenges can encourage others to share. #WomenInMedicine |
| Joumana Chaïban @JoumanaChaiban .@ENDOUNO .@eternalkota .@jackie . @aryatweeting .@sorabh_kothari in @womeninmedchat about resident mental health. Something to consider? Need to get coverage funding though. |
 | Apoorve Nayyar @apoorvenayyar RT @AntiWheatGirl: @womeninmedchat A1 From what I’ve seen so far, a program should foster a culture where residents take mental health seriously and support each other. Especially where seniors and PDs speak up and don’t tolerate bullying or a malignant culture. #WomenInMedicine |
 | Iman Mohamed @ImmohMD @womeninmedchat Part of mentoring is observing early signs of depression. Interns should also feel safe enough to share their difficulties with their mentor. This phase of #MedEd is about apprenticeship. I often share my personal experiences especially with #WomenInMedicine. You are not alone ! |
| KaraPepperMD @KaraPepperMD @womeninmedchat A3. Establish with a counselor (in med school, too!) Schedule time with family and friends. Maintain exercise and hobbies. Tell your loved ones to check in on you and just listen. #WomenInMedicine |
| Janae Sharp @CoherenceMed @DrPoorman @ShreyaTrivediMD @womeninmedchat That’s a great point. #womeninmedicine |
 | Jeff Schneider, MD @J_SchneiderMD @teaandreverie @AntiWheatGirl @DoctorKelsey @womeninmedchat @The_BMC @BMCSurgery It was an important first step for us, and I admit I had no idea if there would be interest, or if it would work...but more than 80% of our interns participated! Much more work to do, but it’s a start @The_BMC! #WomenInMedicine |
 | Shannon Scott-Vernaglia, MD @ScottVernaglia @womeninmedchat @petradMD @DrPoorman Joining late because I was @DearEvanHansen in Boston. Seems relevant. Thanks for this important topic #WomenInMedicine #EndStigma |
| Alan J. Card @AlanJCard RT @DrKaylaB: This. And please, for the love of God, don't give them wellness modules they have to spend precious time watching and taking quizzes on. It totally defeats the purpose. #WomenInMedicine |
| Jeff Schneider, MD @J_SchneiderMD RT @teaandreverie: @AntiWheatGirl @DoctorKelsey @womeninmedchat @The_BMC @BMCSurgery @J_SchneiderMD I saw you tweet about this and honestly that’s when @The_BMC became my dream program #WomeninMedicine |
 | Arnold Morales @moralesarnold_5 RT @LatinasInMed: Our next #LatinasInMedicine mini-interview features @DrTeresaMC! Join us on Wed July 17 at 7:30 PM EST #MedTwitter #SoMeDocs #WomenInMedicine https://t.co/dE1BEtlBvR |
| Jeff Schneider, MD @J_SchneiderMD RT @AntiWheatGirl: @DoctorKelsey @womeninmedchat They did that for us at @The_BMC @BMCSurgery with PCP appointments! It was so great to be able to establish care with someone who also counseled me about mental health during residency. @J_SchneiderMD #WomenInMedicine |
| Kristen Young @kristenyoung @womeninmedchat A3. Stay connected, value relationships, spend time doing things that make you happy (whatever they might be), get rest, and take care of your health. Neglecting the above led to some of my tougher moments in residency. #WomenInMedicine |
| #WomenInMedicine Chat @womeninmedchat Wondering ideas everyone, now it's time for Q4: What national changes are needed to prevent mental illness and suicide in residency? #WomenInMedicine https://t.co/Iw5gfZVm1P |
| Carol Pak-Teng, MD FAAEM @CPakTengMD @womeninmedchat A2: come from a place of caring & make sure to follow through. Find time to really “see” that person while trying not to to come off as judgey. “Hey, I just want to check in with you in case you may be struggling. I am struggling at times too. I am here to talk.” #WomenInMedicine |
| Sanjana Mathur @teaandreverie @J_SchneiderMD @AntiWheatGirl @DoctorKelsey @womeninmedchat @The_BMC @BMCSurgery The first step. That’s all it takes! I hope more and more programs follow suit #WomeninMedicine |
| Brinda Desai, MD @mdbdesai @womeninmedchat A4: Commitment by all programs to create a space for residents to seek the care they need, make it to their doctor appointments, de-stigmatize mental health, and open conversations about the not so glamorous realities of this job #WomenInMedicine |
| Indu Partha, MD FACP @InduPartha @womeninmedchat A4: Getting back to the medicine, the focus on good/compassionate patient care. Not $$, not stress from childhood to "perform" at every step so that they can eventually get into med school only to take on $200K debt. Alleviate the stressors that are changeable. #WomenInMedicine |
| Erin Lincoln, MD @LadyEMSMD @womeninmedchat A4: Not sure national “mandates” will work. It’s about local org culture and seeing all residents/employees as first human, with human feelings and human needs. If human needs aren’t met, nothing else works right. #WomenInMedicine |
| Shreya P. Trivedi MD, MHPE @ShreyaTrivediMD @womeninmedchat 1/ A4. !! Big Q Each person needs to BELIEVE/care about this issue & ask themselves, based on their sphere/space of influence, what they can do differently/help? #WomeninMedicine |
| Mariah Robertson MD MPH @MLRobertsonMD @womeninmedchat A4. Change the structure of residency from just a work-based model to a LEARNER centric model. Yes, we learn by doing but we also learn with time and mental space and opportunities for flexibility in our training. We aren’t all the same and we aren’t robots. #WomenInMedicine |
| Pooja Lakshmin MD @PoojaLakshmin @womeninmedchat A4. At the national level addressing state medical boards that still ask discriminatory questions should be the number 1 priority. Studies have shown this is one of the top reasons physicians don’t seek out mental health treatment. #WomenInMedicine |
| Janae Sharp @CoherenceMed Remove all mental health questions from medical license questions. Actually track resident work hours. Mandate better pay for physicians and better loan forgiveness. Pay them enough to live well where they live. #womeninmedicine |
| Shannon Scott-Vernaglia, MD @ScottVernaglia @womeninmedchat Q4 we MUST abolish questions about history of mental health treatment from all licensing and credentialing paperwork. #WomenInMedicine #EndStigma |
| Janae Sharp @CoherenceMed RT @MLRobertsonMD: @womeninmedchat A4. Change the structure of residency from just a work-based model to a LEARNER centric model.

| Carol Pak-Teng, MD FAAEM @CPakTengMD @womeninmedchat A4: the list is extensive but continued culture change towards less stigma. Public awareness for buyin at corporate level for systematic changes. More leaders sharing their experiences candidly. #WomenInMedicine https://t.co/QQoDN4QAYK |
| Dr. Kayla @DrKaylaB A4: Prevention is difficult, even with the best policies. But prevention before it gets critical is key. Legislation is first and foremost. Get rid of questions about mental health on licensing apps. Completely overhaul PHPs. The current system is corrupt. #WomenInMedicine |
| Dr. Ruthi Landau @ruthi_landau @womeninmedchat A3 1/ Share challenges & struggles with mentors 2/ Create a ‘family’ you trust at work that will support you 3/ Find the time to do things that make you feel good (at least twice a week) 4/ If negative emotions build up, seek help #WomenInMedicine |
| Mariah Robertson MD MPH @MLRobertsonMD RT @ScottVernaglia: @womeninmedchat Q4 we MUST abolish questions about history of mental health treatment from all licensing and credentialing paperwork. #WomenInMedicine #EndStigma |
 | Marjorie Stiegler MD @DrMStiegler @ShreyaTrivediMD @choo_ek @darakass @reshmajagsi @PoojaLakshmin @dr_uche_bee @InduPartha That's a tough spot, Shreya. Reading this makes me feel fortunate that I can't personally relate to that experience. But remember, her words say everything about her and nothing about you. #WomenInMedicine |
| Annie Massart @Annie_Massart_ @womeninmedchat A4: Largely the same changes that senior docs also need: less bureaucratic BS, more autonomy, decreased censuses.Also, cutting the cost of medical education. Being depressed and needing time off is difficult, combining that with delays in loan repayment is awful. #WomenInMedicine |
| Alan J. Card @AlanJCard RT @MLRobertsonMD: @womeninmedchat A4. Change the structure of residency from just a work-based model to a LEARNER centric model.

| Shreya P. Trivedi MD, MHPE @ShreyaTrivediMD @womeninmedchat 2/ I say each person bc it cant just be the #programdirectors problem, its the hospital's problem, its the insurance companies @MedicaidGov @MedicareGov problem, its the @CDCgov, @NIH etc. #WomeninMedicine |
| Shereese Maynard, MS; MBA 😷 She/Her @ShereeseMayMba A4.The suicide rate among male & female Drs is 1.41 and 2.27 times higher than that of the general male & female pop., respectively. This is increasing & it needs to be treated as an epidemic. #womeninmedicine |
| Marguerite Duane @mduanemd @mdbdesai @womeninmedchat A4. It’s important we address the issue long before residency, ie/ encouraging self-care & supporting use of mental health services as students if necessary. Residency is so demanding, like running a marathon, that it is best if people are prepared in advance #WomenInMedicine |
| Alan J. Card @AlanJCard RT @CPakTeng: @womeninmedchat A4: @womeninmedchat A4: the list is extensive but continued culture change towards less stigma.

| Jamee Walters, MD @jamee_walters @Wickersham_Eliz @womeninmedchat Would be interesting to see that data. The support from co-residents is strong. I loved residency. But when you go out into the “real” world, you are more alone. Makes sense it would put you at risk. #Womeninmedicine |
| Leena Mathew MD @lmathew9001 @womeninmedchat A4. Decreasing medical school debt would be one place to start. Establishing resources in all training programs for confidential / easy access to mental health care and screening for training physicians. #womeninmedicine |
| Dr. Kayla @DrKaylaB A4: I can't reiterate enough that we need to overhaul PHPs and reinstate them to do what they were always meant to do -- offer help and support to doctors. They've missed a huge opportunity and we've allowed them with our silence. #WomenInMedicine |

| Sanjana Mathur @teaandreverie @womeninmedchat A4. Tough one.

| Shereese Maynard, MS; MBA 😷 She/Her @ShereeseMayMba Q4 Student debt & low wages also contribute to suicide ideation.

| CJ McAdams MD PhD @carriejm007 @Wickersham_Eliz @womeninmedchat A4. This seems true to me. Residency has more time and backup systems and limits than practice. The intensity of clinical care seems much higher out of residency in my area. #WomenInMedicine |
