The number of female physicians has surged, with women now making up 38% of all physicians in the U.S. and over 55% of medical students! Many are leading the charge in primary care fields like pediatrics, family medicine, internal medicine, and OB-GYN. And while a significant number are entering surgical specialties, we still see fewer women in non-surgical areas like cardiology, gastroenterology, and neurology. As we celebrate this progress, let’s encourage even more women to explore all specialties! Together, we can build a more diverse and inclusive healthcare system. 💪✨ #WomenInMedicine #DiversityInHealthcare #FutureOfMedicine

Last month, the Ontario Medical Association (OMA) released the Stop the Crisis report to bring light to the family doctor crisis in health care. The report quotes that “there are more than 350 unfilled physician vacancies in northern communities, including more than 200 family doctors. That number does not factor in retirements that may take place over the next five years.” What should be done? Here are OMA’s solutions, summarized: 1. Northern Ontario needs a plan- now. Aside from family medicine, special attention should be provided to areas like psychiatry, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, anesthesiology, and internal medicine. What the government must do: 📌 Work with the OMA immediately to develop and implement a Northern Physician Workforce strategy similar to the Rural Co-ordination Centre in British Columbia. 📌 This will include a Co-ordination Centre for Northern Ontario that gathers data on system capacity, identifies emerging workforce issues, and supports recruitment and continuing education. 2. Break down barriers that keep doctors from working across multiple hospitals. Different approaches to credentialling across hospitals and facilities creates barriers for physicians to provide coverage across multiple sites. As a result, shortages and Emergency Department closures remain. What the government must do: 📌 Implement a seamless regional credentialling system to enable physicians to provide care across sites where they are needed most. 3. Understand communities’ unique needs. Northern and rural communities requires different skills and understanding of unique issues to provide adequate care. For example, the needs and issues of communities like Indigenous peoples should be recognized. What the government must do: 📌 Fund opportunities for educational development that builds local knowledge and targeted skills suitable for the unique challenges of medicine in northern Ontario. #StopTheCrisis hashtag#familydoctor hashtag#familymedicine

#Burnout is the manifestation in an individual of dysfunction in that person's workplace. 63% of ED docs burned out - and ED residencies can't fill. 9 other specialties at or above 50% burnout. 15% more women physicians are burned out compared to their male colleagues, and the percentage of the physician workforce who are women is growing rapidly. As this survey shows, there is a glimmer of hope, but these levels of burnout remain unacceptable. #Healthcare #CEOs who are focused on the future will take more significant action - investing more in fixing the workplace than enhancing clinician resilience.
