|
Speaking at the Noah Liff Opera Center on October 14, Dr. Nicole Schlechter, 2021 president of the Nashville Academy of Medicine (NAM), accepted her induction into Nashville Medical News' Women to Watch Class of 2021.
"I would like to work towards increasing equity in medicine and medical leadership at all levels," she said in her Women to Watch printed article. "I try to incorporate the issue into most everything I do." Addressing burnout is another key issue. "I want to bring the joy back into practicing hospital medicine," Dr. Schlechter noted. "When providers love and can focus on patient care, everybody wins."

| BME Adopts COVID Misinformation Policy. | |
|
Effective Sept. 21, 2021, the Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners (BME) adopted a policy whereby medical doctors could risk having their medical licenses disciplined for generating or spreading “misinformation or disinformation” about COVID-19 vaccines. Discipline could include revocation or suspension of one’s medical license. The BME goes on to state that physicians “have an ethical and professional responsibility to practice medicine in the best interests of their patients and must share information that is factual, scientifically grounded and consensus-driven for the betterment of public health.” Click here to review the BME’s complete COVID-19 vaccine policy.
