My daughter Vivian died
My heart is broken
👩🏼‍⚕️👨🏼‍⚕️ never listened to me ….
👩🏾‍⚕️I had to do my own research & discovered that she had #EDS #MCAS that required a different treatment plan.

The U.S. medical system is biased + broken #WeDeserveBetter #VivianMonroeStrong 🌈🌈🌈#Forever5

@benshapiro A predominately white physician work force has created a medical field where Black mothers are 3-5 x more likely to die. Clearly DEI is needed in medicine.

[Ashley Denmark, DO, MS (she/her) @DrAshleyDenmark]

Currently in the US:
93 Black Docs
126 Latinx Docs
13 Native Docs are in training to become dermatologists vs. 890 White docs.

However, the American Academy of Dermatology @aadskin is seeking to end ALL DEI initiatives

Let that sink in…..

I was this many years old when I realized the U.S. healthcare system is the equivalent to a narcissistic ex-boyfriend and will deny, deflect, blame and play victim to escape accountability for harm caused by racial bias in medicine

Cardiology has a #Diversity problem. Let's do something about it. If you are an IM resident & you belong to one of the groups below that are severely underrepresented in cardiology, we want to mentor you to be a competitive fellowship applicant. Apply now: https://t.co/R3U5kJCcbJ

Unfortunate but not surprising. Medicine is a group project that is being led by other non medicine folk who think pizza parties can solve centuries of structural racism …….

[Quinn Capers, IV @DrQuinnCapers4]

Back at ‘em and happy to meet Dr Garrett Smith, IM PGY1 @UTSWNews and graduate of @MSMEDU. Dr Smith is interested in Cardiology.

Oh yeah? Pull up a chair, young man, let’s chat …

TT/Tenured professors do not lose anything by adding undergraduate and grad students to papers that they helped with (organizing, lit search, data collection). I do not understand this reluctance to give authorship.

@factscadadia @macaac3 @LakotaMan1 What are you talking about Blacks and Hispanics are accepted at a lower rate compared to whites and Asians. Stop spreading propaganda

[Onc Doctress, MD 🍉 @OncDoctress]

I remember a white man in my masters program prior to med school telling me that it's hardest for his demographic to get into med school...

A reminder that I was one of 2 Black people who graduated in my med school class of 260.
