I was blown away by the #ANES20 Rovenstine lecture from @JoanneConroyMD
She initated a call to action for anesthesiologists by acknowledging the biggest issues for our specialty:

Disruption sums up 2020. Our lives will never be the same. But disruption can make things better. Let& #39;s embrace it & lead periop medicine. Telehealth connects us to pts out of the OR, for preop eval & postop follow-up. Working remotely creates innovative practice structures.

#Equity focused on gender, drawing attention to the #genderpaygap & #motherhoodpenalty, 2 real elements that are often dismissed. There hasn’t been much progress around eliminating them, even after identification years ago! As @JoanneConroyMD said:

Only 5/59 Rovenstine lecturers were https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="♀️" title="Weibliches Zeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Weibliches Zeichen">, all in the last 30 yrs. 1st in 1993 was Betty Bamforth, for the 32nd lecture, entitled “Learning From Our Past.” Let& #39;s Do It! Like RBG’s dream for 9 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="♀️" title="Weibliches Zeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Weibliches Zeichen">Supreme Court Justices, we should aim for ALL keynotes to be given by https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="♀️" title="Weibliches Zeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Weibliches Zeichen">. #ANES20

Patient safety: this has always been a focus of our specialty, & Dr. Conroy challenges us to step up & lead the charge for all of healthcare. Support multidiscinplinary organizations like @APSF. Use the multitude of data we have to make change. Inspiring! #ANES20
