This week, we speak with the 2019-2020 President of AWAEM,\nDr. Pooja Agrawal<\/a>, an Assistant Professor at Yale\nwho is an expert in global emergency medicine and refugee health. She talks\nabout the rich, diverse membership of AWAEM, and gives great advice on reaching\nout to potential mentors and sponsors early in one\u2019s career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell me about where you are in your career.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P Agrawal:        I’m an assistant professor at Yale. I’ve\nbeen there for about a little over 6 years now. My background is in global\nhealth and international emergency medicine as well as public health and so\nI’ve kind of transitioned over the years from doing fairly traditional global\nhealth work to more public health and domestic-based public health work with\nthe global health kind of theme to it. I work mainly with refugee populations\nand settlement and how the whole process affects their health and their health\nliteracy over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        I’ve been very active\nwith the residency and trying to get some of these themes involved in the\ndidactic trainings and getting people aware of some of the non-traditional and\npopulations that we serve, and also working directly with refugees and beneficiaries\nabout helping them to promote their health literacy and create a curriculum so\nthat they can understand and be a little more empowered to know more about\ntheir health and how to access it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you feel like gender has affected your career so far?\n<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P Agrawal:        When, as a resident, I think I was very\naware of it and then I would walk into a clinical shift and I would be mistaken\nfor a student, a nurse, and I very quickly realized that while I was most\ncomfortable wearing scrubs and a hoodie I kind of had to wear a white coat in\norder to kind of get that just even physical kind of acknowledgement of who I\nwas or potentially could be in that room. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        I’ve known counterparts\nthat can walk in wearing cargo pants and a scrub top, I wear a white coat every\nsingle day. It doesn’t matter if I’m hot or cold or whatever it is, and that’s\njust, I think I was very aware of that early on, just as how I presented myself\nand how I was perceived by patients and nurses. And I think that that part of\nit, the second part of it, the non-physician staff and even sometimes the\nnon-EM physician staff will treat women and men differently in the emergency\ndepartment. And it’s probably not intentional and it’s not malicious, it’s\njust, I think, the way that people perceive others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        I’ve had experiences\nwhere as an attending I will listen to a female resident try to present a\nconsult or ask for help from another service and be asked 15 questions as to\nwhy the consult is being called and why they’re being bothered while a male resident\nwill maybe make a very similar call and will get a 3 minute conversation like,\n“Okay, sure, we’ll be right down to see the patient.” And so I think,\nin my own personal experience as well as observing trainees and other people\nwithin the department, I think gender is a huge part of how we deliver care,\nand how we are perceived, and how patients and other non-EM physicians and\nsometimes EM physicians as well perceive us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Over time, I’ve changed\nthe way that I carry myself. I’ve changed the way that I walk into a room, the\nway that I run a code, or I watch residents run a code, and some of it’s been\nconscious, and some of it’s I think has just been a reaction to maybe not the\nbest interactions and not the best reception that I would’ve wanted to get. And\nso I think it’s huge. I think it’s a very big part of what we do. And I also\nthink that being female I probably realize it more, right. So I have many male\nEM colleagues who probably have no idea about the multitude of things that I’m\nprobably consciously and subconsciously thinking as I walk into a room, and\nthey don’t have to think about any of those things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

P Agrawal:        And that’s something that I think that\nwe do, I think we have to do. I think as we’re trying to assert ourselves and\nan equal partner, as an equal member of a team, we have to work harder. I think\nthat’s just what we have to do until we’re at a point where we’re just kind of\nautomatically given equal say, and equal voice, and equal visibility. I think\nwe’re going to have to keep working harder, and that’s just part of our jobs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did you first join AWAEM? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P Agrawal:        I’ve been part of AWAEM for, I think,\nprobably 5 years now. One of my colleagues, and I would say mentors, Basmah\nSafdar, she was an AWAEM president a few years ago and she was just trying to\nget more people within the department to be involved within AWAEM and asked me to\nstart as the global health committee chair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Which makes sense\nbecause that’s my background, and as I became more involved with that part of\nAWAEM and sitting in on calls and meetings and kind of hearing the conversation\nas to really the kind of women, and the conversation struck a cord with me\nabout how it is about advancement but it’s also about promoting each other and\nhaving a community, and having a network, and having people to kind of sound\noff ideas and talk about challenging experiences and I found AWAEM to be a very\neasy place to do that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        And so, I honestly I\nhadn’t really explored many other women’s groups within other parts of\nemergency medicine or outside of that, cause I didn’t really have a lot of\nexperience and just as a person I tend to shy away from, I just, I don’t tend\nto join things that’s just not what I do, but I found that AWAEM was just a\nvery easy place to feel like I have a voice and I have something to add, and I\nhave now access to people who have been where I am, who’ve become very\nsuccessful, and kind of help me navigate as I move forward in my career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How has AWAEM has affected your career in particular since\njoining 5 years ago? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P Agrawal:        AWAEM is constantly looking for new\ntalent and new people to join and I was kind of pulled in by someone that I\nrespect and that thought that I had something to add, and I think as I’ve been\npart and gotten more and more involved in different aspects of AWAEM I’ve\nrealized that it really, you add a lot of skills by just being part of different\naspects of what AWAEM does. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        So I started off as the\nglobal health chair, and I was the liaison between GEMA and AWAEM, getting\ntogether for events and didactics and things, and I kind of got a sense of how\nit’s, how groups can really collaborate. And then I moved from there to being\nthe treasurer for a year and I got a sense of kind of the numbers and the ins\nand outs of how things out and you really get a sense of what the mission of\nAWAEM is when you start to see where the money is allocated and I thought that\nwas very eye opening and fantastic to see that we really are trying to promote\nwomen by scholarships, and grants, and inviting people to meetings and trying\nto help support people who need that support, and I found that to be very\nhelpful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        And now as president,\nbeing involved in kind of all of the different other aspects of the committees,\nit’s just, it’s really helped in terms of understanding all the different kind\nof moving parts, and also how you keep a group like this moving forward and\nthinking about the future and as we’re moving towards another 10 years we’ve\ndone a lot, but I think our current political climate would show us that\nthere’s still so much more that we can do for women. And I think that’s what\nwe’re trying to do with creating some of these new efforts around how do we\npromote women, right? And how do we, who creates kind of mentorship groups, and\nhow do we really get our word and our colleagues out there and visible in a way\nthat sometimes is not as intuitive or not as easy for women to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        One– it’s given me this\nvery fantastic leadership opportunity, and two– it’s given me a great network\nof other women who I can now turn to and say, “How did you do this? How\ndid you navigate this difficult thing in your career, and what do you think\nabout some other options that I have?” I had people to bounce things off\nof and that’s, it’s much bigger than just where I work, which is really\nwonderful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you anticipate the professional needs of women in\nacademic emergency medicine AWAEM members changing in the next 10 years? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P Agrawal:        That’s a great question. Currently, I\ndon’t think our needs are being met. As women, forget academic or non-academic,\nfor women in medicine and emergency medicine I think our needs are not being met.\nI think, you know we, you know a theme from conversations we were having\nearlier today, I think we as women often, and to generalize a little bit, have\na hard time promoting ourselves, right. We have a hard time sort of showcasing\nall of the amazing things that we’re doing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        We’re all doing them but\nwe don’t really talk about it so much. We all have Imposter Syndrome, and I\nthink we have a hard time getting past that. And so, I’m sorry I forgot the\nfirst part of your question. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

P Agrawal:        But I think organizations like AWAEM and\nbeing able, being part of a committee of women who have either acknowledged\nthat challenge and passed it, or even gone over it which is amazing as well, I\nthink being a part of that community and having other women kind of, you know,\nkick you in the behind and say, “you have done great things and this is\namazing what you’re doing.” And kind of help promoting each other is a way\nthat women can advance themselves and advance each other, and maybe in not ways\nthat men do or even have to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What career accomplishment are you most proud of?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P Agrawal:        I don’t know that I have one yet. I\nthink I’m too early in my career to know that I have one career accomplishment\nthat I’m proud of. I think … I think being president of AWAEM is important I\nthink, and that’s a very important thing to me. In terms of career\naccomplishments, you know I’m really, I’m very proud of some of the research\nthat I’m doing, I’m proud of the population that I serve, and that I’ve chosen,\nI think it’s an important population to continue to acknowledge and affect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        And so some of the work\nthat I’ve done around creating a curriculum for health literacy and\nunderstanding what impacts their health outcomes over time, I think that’s\nimportant to me and that’s something that I’m proud of. But I don’t know that\nthere’s any one particular career accomplishment yet, but I’m young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What advice might you tell a younger version of yourself\nor, for example, an AWAEM member at an earlier stage in her career?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P Agrawal:        I think what I did not do enough of, and\nI probably still don’t do enough of now, is reach out to people who have been\nin my shoes in some way. I’m someone who kind of tries to keep her head down\nand kind of move forward and push through, but there are a lot of people who\nhave accomplished a lot and to have a lot to share, and who want to share even\nthough everyone’s super busy, but you know you find the time if you find a\nperson, many people are willing to kind of sit and talk with you about either\nissues that you’re having or career trajectory, and I think I didn’t do enough\nof that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        AWAEM is really a\nfantastic forum to me to even just hear about other women who have done great\nthings, that I would take better advantage of that. Reach out to people, pick\ntheir brains for, you know, recognizing that I may not get anything out of it,\nthey may not get anything out of it, but at least you’re sharing experience,\nand you create a network. A lot of what AWAEM does is, kind of, promoting other\nwomen, and that’s the way to do it. It’s just to create a connection, and\ncreate a mentorship, or even just a community of people outside of your small\ncircle. And I don’t think I did that enough, and I would, I’m working on doing\nthat more, and I would probably would’ve liked myself to have done that more\nwhen I was younger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please name 3 other AWAEM members we should consider\ninterviewing. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P Agrawal:        Kathy Clem is someone who has walked in\nmany shoes and has really accomplished a lot, and even just in the brief conversations\nI’ve had with her I think she has a lot to offer and is looking to offer that,\nand so I think she would be fantastic but I believe you’re probably already\ntalking with her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Eleanor Reed, she’s\nreally just kind of someone who’s been, just kind of handles a lot with grace\nand really kind of is figuring out her balance and I think she’s doing a really\ngood job of it, so that’s someone that I would recommend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anything else you’d like to add?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

P Agrawal:        I think I’ve said it. The strengths of\nAWAEM are in the members, and really in the spectrum of women from early to\ncareer to late career and everyone has walked a different path. Everyone’s had\ndifferent challenges and different successes, and I think that really is the\nstrength of the group. As we are looking at the next phase, thinking about how\nwe can work together to promote each other, is really one, something that I’m\ngoing to look to do more of as when I take over the presidency in a few months.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        We need to be supporting\neach other, we need to be promoting, elevating each other, and that’s really, I\nthink the best thing that anyone can do so, thank you for doing this. This has\nbeen, actually, eye opening for me too. Because I’m talking about myself which\nis of course hard for anyone to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
