My former residency program matched 3 women this year. For those of you who don't know Orthopaedics currently has less than 5% of women in practice with current resident statistics at 11%. I'm grateful to see more women choosing #orthopaedicsurgery. It's time to #change the landscape.

Honestly this is quite frightening to me. Especially with all the private equity gobbling up Emergency Rooms and rearranging staffing with NPs and PAs. I'm not an ER physician but I think about this all the time. If myself or my family member were to need true emergency care whose actually delivering it. Patients have no idea who they are seeing. We have to start somewhere. I know Physicians for Patient Protection https://www.physiciansforpatientprotection.org/ is an organization who advocates for this, but there is so much more at the root of this. I feel like those in the ER trenches are best suited to comment.
