Gender equity (or in truth, inequity) in medicine has come under the spotlight with an increasing focus on a culture of fairness, improving female practitioners' access to leadership roles, and moving away from the "good ol' boys club" medicine is sometimes prone to being.
In this guest lecture we have Dr. Kimon Ioannides talking on Mansplaining in the ED, a talk he gave at AAEM scientific assembly in 2019.
WHAT IS MANSPLAINING?
Merriam Webster defines Mansplaining as “to explain something to a woman in a condescending way that assumes she has no knowledge about the topic.” Kim Goodwin, however, may better encapsulate what mansplaining is through her now famous flow diagram (right).
HOW DO I AVOID MANSPLAINING?
Have you ever mansplained? If so, how do you avoid doing it again? To learn the answers to these questions, please listen to Dr. Ioannides talk and our Q&A afterword.
