In September of 2019,\na delegation of Australians from NoWEM, the Network of Women in Emergency\nMedicine, made the long-haul trip to NYC for our first experience at FIX \u2013 the\nFeminEM Idea Exchange. We\u2019d had the opportunity to host the FeminEM team at our\nown event in Sydney earlier in the year, so we were excited to meet up with our\nold friends and see what they had in store for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, we were\nabsolutely blown away – from the moment we walked into the welcome party on the\nHudson River, right up to the final farewells as the stage was packed up around\nus. It\u2019s hard to describe the powerful feeling of being surrounded by a\nthousand healthcare professionals from around the world, who have come together\nto exchange ideas and share inspiration for a more inclusive and just future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The content was rich\nand varied. There was a celebration of women\u2019s choices \u2013 the choice to work as\na long-term locum, the choice to abandon mommy-guilt and instead role-model\nprofessional success to our families, and the choice not to have children at\nall. We considered the importance of intersectional allies, and how to\nrecognise and overcome our implicit bias. We learned about the jumbo jet full\nof people that die due to structural racism every day across the US. We\nreflected on the enormous cost of sexual violence to the healthcare sector and\nthe women who work in it. There were raw and heartfelt stories of some of the\nprivate challenges that our colleagues have experienced including obesity,\npost-partum depression, pregnancy loss and family violence. We witnessed the\nimpact that climate change is already having on our practice in emergency\nmedicine and considered how to minimise our impact on the planet. The challenge\nwas issued for us to raise our voices against injustice, to unleash our inner\nwitches and to use our anger to effect change \u2013 even to run for public office!\nA phrase was coined that we hope will define the future of healthcare:\nhumanist-based medicine. The breadth and impact of the presentations was\nastounding – every speaker had an important message, and every speaker delivered\nwith poise and power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The foyer was packed\nwith pop-up stores featuring a carefully curated selection of socially\nresponsible and female-led vendors \u2013 with some seriously great products! The\ndaily breakfast was a healthy feast, and an opportunity to sit around the table\nwith our fellow delegates, sharing our stories and looking forward to the day\u2019s\ntalks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We met new friends\nfrom across the globe \u2013 including plenty of people we have admired from a\ndistance through Twitter, the FOAMED world and the EM literature. We also\nenjoyed spending time with old friends and each other, away from the\ndistractions of everyday life and work. The whole event was a genuinely unique\nand innovative medical education experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We came away feeling refreshed, inspired and empowered. We can\u2019t wait for Chicago 2020, and in the meantime,  we know we are connected to a huge raft of like-minded people across the globe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
