Published by Heather Logghe, MD

In 2019, sexual harassment and discrimination in medicine prevent patients from receiving the best possible care. We all deserve better.

This is why I’m proud to be a founding member of TIME’S UP Healthcare.

Women live in a world of fear.

A Story of Artistic Reclamation (2019)

Published by Michael Barbato, MD

Here I am, come and get me! A playful provocation we have all used with much more than literal meaning as a mantra. But going through the rigors, chills and metaphorical bacteremia of medical education, I lost some of the pieces that made me confident to be myself.
