In the early 1990s, a group of five women— Diane Boykin (M’98), Leah Matthews (M’97), Sylvia Morris (M’98), Jessica Osborn (M’97), and Angela Walker (M’97) —developed a friendship as students at Georgetown School of Medicine. Their book, "The Game Plan: A Woman’s Guide to Becoming a Doctor and Living a Life in Medicine," offers a comprehensive, practical guide for aspiring women physicians, from taking the MCATs and applying to medical school, to choosing a specialty, to making a job change. https://bit.ly/49nodYv

  Harvey's Early Years: From Folkstone to Medical Frontiers Embarking on a journey that would redefine our understanding of the human body, William Harvey, born in 1578 in Folkstone, Kent, England, was not your average physician. Steeped in the teachings of Galen, an ancient medical luminary, Harvey's early education set the stage for a curious mind eager to challenge the status quo. #Bloodcirculationin17thcentury #Cardiologyandcirculatorysystem #Curiositydrivenmedicaladvancements #Heartandbloodcirculation #Historyofanatomyrevelation #ImpactofHarveyswork #Medicalrevolutionimpact #Modernmedicinebreakthroughs #Understandinghumanbodymechanisms #WilliamHarveydiscoveries

💡Educator Spotlight💡 Meet Alex Chiu (Houston ‘22), a second-year corps member in Houston who is our featured Educator Spotlight for December. "Humans did not get to today because we put our resources solely on the few. It's due to the collective minds that we were able to discover the effects of gravity, to revolutionize medicine, and to have such prosperity. Just think about how much more humans can achieve when we have more brilliant minds thinking together. How beautiful society will be.“ Learn more about why he chose TFA, what he has learned in his time as an educator, and his hopes for educational equity in the future at https://bit.ly/3RO54c9

Abstract submission is open for The Society for Humanies, Social Science, and Medicine's 10th biennial meeting, set for April 13th-14th, 2024 at the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill. The theme is Advocacy and Accountability: Navigating the Boundaries of Modern Medicine. A diverse set of emerging issues – including the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the criminalization of gender-affirming care, global trauma and displacement, and an increasingly inhospitable climate – is impacting the communities in which we work and live. By bridging disciplinary divides across the social sciences and humanities, we can not only improve our advocacy for patients, but also contend with the role that medicine has played in broader histories of structural violence. http://shssm2024.org

Day 2 of the Stellenbosch University, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Annual Academic Research Day Today I delivered an oral presentation entitled 'Needles, benches, guns, nature, and me: What spaces and things do to young women and their health' Three key takeaways 1. We need to rethink linear models of health and embrace alternative theoretical frames to understand complexity 2. Health research needs alternative and multidisciplinary epistemologies and ontologies 3. Remember that every piece of research has real world impact no matter where it takes place. Don't forget for who and why you are doing the work.
