    Excited to share that I found out I will be promoted to full professor at Mayo Clinic!! As a woman in medicine, this news is a meaningful step in breaking barriers & promoting gender equality in academia & medicine. Grateful for my wonderful mentors and sponsors along the way!!

    So proud of myself! After introducing myself as Dr. Strand to a patient, he looked at my name badge and said- oh, so Natalie. Usually I’m stuck feeling afraid to rock the boat... Not today! “Yes, but I go by Dr. Strand at work! “ I finally said it!!!

    In a meeting as the only female physician. Made a suggestion, senior colleague dismissed my idea. Male colleage then says the same exact thing, and it is accepted. Second speaker then gave me credit. In front of all, I said thank you for amplifying my voice. #genderbias

    👶🏼 No one has asked her how she will balance family & her career 😃 No one has asked her to smile more 💪🏼 No one has asked if she really wants to work this hard 👗 No one has said how lucky she is to be a girl, because she will get a ‘quota’ spot She just gets to dream...

    Interrupting your regular Twitter feed to let you know that I have been promoted to Associate Professor!! It is such a milestone achievement for me. I came to Mayo with TWO papers 5 years ago, 6 years out of fellowship, kinda feeing like I missed my chance.

    Breaking!! @DrJewelKling has been selected as Dean Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine AZ, & Vice Dean across all Mayo sites!! Only 16% of medical school deans are women!! According to my research, she is the youngest woman to hold a Medical School Dean position in the US!!

    Glitch in the @mayoclinic directory- defaulted to the oldest pics of all the staff. Since I did medical school at Mayo, here is what people see when they try to page me now! 22 years old!

    It’s never too late to start something new!! I turned 40 in 2018. Didn’t start publishing until 2020. Feeling late to the game stops a lot of people from pursuing their dreams! But we need to remember that is a self imposed limitation! #nevertoolate #getit #chaseyourdreams

    I earned a grade of ‘honors’ in a particularly tough rotation in medical school where most people earned ‘high pass’ or ‘pass’. “Must be nice to have boobs” said a male classmate. @womenMDinanesth @WomenSurgeons @physicianwomen @MedWomenWriters @PROWDWomen @AMWADoctors

    When I was in high school my dream was to attend Stanford. I applied early, and was flat out rejected. I kept that letter with me for a long time. Next week I am doing a lecture there. One of the professors just said they are “lucky” to have me. I am 🤯😭 Dream come true!!
