• Women in medicine: Providing higher quality and better patient outcomes?

  Christina Thielst Medical & Allied Healthcare

  In 1973, Billy Jean King changed the way the world felt about women in sports. Today, a new analysis of patient outcomes might begin a shift in how we view the contributions and value of women in medicine. The gender gap in medicine is closing. In 2016, female physicians accounted for 46 percent of U.S. medical school graduates and one-third of the U.S. physician workforce.

  If you could see me now, you'd see the droop in my shoulders. It wasn't the first time someone demeaned what I have been doing with my professional life for the last 25 years. She's a friend, and she really didn't mean to. We were talking about credentials and continuing education required in various professions. When I told her the amount of continuing education I must take to maintain the three credentials I've attained, she smiled and wondered aloud why I'd need continuing education to decide what color the flowers should be and where they should go.

  Brian Stack Education

  ​As a high school principal, one of the things I dislike to hear from parents is when they tell me they don't know what their child is doing in the classroom. While we have a sophisticated communication plan for schoolwide news and announcements, we fall short as a school in a systematic common approach to how we handle classroom-level communication between teachers and parents. In the new year, it is a personal goal of mine to work with my staff to improve in this area.

  Dr. Abimbola Farinde Pharmaceutical

  Each year, the approval of new prescription drugs offers the medical community and the general population access to a larger pool of therapeutic options to choose from.
