#HerTimeIsNow
Women in medicine have waited long enough for gender equity, and the time is now to address longstanding, well-documented disparities. We are calling on women and allies to join us on social media to get the word out that now is the time to support all women in medicine and underrepresented women in medicine.
ELAM is excited to work with Julie Silver, MD, and the American Medical Women's Association on this year's Harvard Medical School Leadership Course's Gender Equity initiative. Check out the #HerTimeIsNow campaign here and join us on 9/1 to support women in medicine and on 9/30 to elevate URM women in medicine by tweeting or posting a photo of yourself wearing a #HerTimeIsNow facemask or other sign/gear. Masks can be purchased at http://bit.ly/hertimeisnow.

Award-Winning Nomination Letter
Join us this September 21, 8:00 - 9:00 pm ET, to learn best practices for creating a letter of nomination that increases the likelihood of success. Learn more and register here.

American Journal of Medicine, Volume 133, Issue 8, August 2020:
Women are underrepresented in health care with few women in influential positions, leadership roles, and promoted to the highest academic ranks compared with men.
Increasingly, efforts are being made to address systematic barriers and sources of bias that are at the core of the gender gap in science and academic medicine. Reforms to written and unwritten policies and structures that have maintained the gender gap in science and academia are expected to shepherd in a more inclusive academic environment in the future. Based on personal experiences and reflection, I compiled a list of 10 ways that women academicians can empower themselves in the interim.
The Chronicle of Higher Education, Academe Today, August 12, 2020:
Setbacks in a senior-leadership search usually have less to do with the applicants and more to do with the institution - a case of "it's not you, it's us."
AAMC CFAS News, August 14, 2020:
Fortune profiled Uché Blackstock, MD, a former associate professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine at NYU Grossman School of Medicine who left academic medicine and is now committed to speaking out and raising awareness of racism and sexism in medicine, in part because Black women account for less than 3% of doctors in the United States.
The Chronicle of Higher Education, Academe Today, August 19, 2020:
Too many institutions have no maternity leave.
Knowledge @ Wharton, August 19, 2020:
Pandemic confusion, police brutality, corporate corruption and unchecked elitism have eroded our faith in leaders. In this opinion piece, Wharton's Greg Shea offers 10 steps that can help remedy that.
Inside Higher Ed, August 20, 2020:
Women's journal submission rates fell as their caring responsibilities jumped due to COVID-19. Without meaningful interventions, the trend is likely to continue.
An administrative position, especially during a chaotic period, can give you the opportunity to focus your passion and institutional knowledge in a different and deeper way, Bradley Fuster writes.
If faculty want to reclaim the university, we must be willing to take on some leadership roles, write Susanna Throop and Matthew Gabriele, who provide some guidance on learning how to lead. The Chronicle of Higher Education, Academe Today, August 21, 2020: As senior administrators, we have to say no a lot. But sometimes we are the ones who must learn how to take no for an answer.

NPR, August 18, 2020:
For Lynette Gabriel, it started with a dressed-up Zoom brunch with girlfriends. She called in from her home in Oakland, Calif., in a leopard-print long-sleeve gown from the back of her closet. Snacking on smoked-salmon potato hash and sipping on a glass of rosé, Gabriel found her new house fashion.
"We actually now call ourselves 'The Real Housewives of Quarantine' in our house dresses," Gabriel says and chuckles.
