medical student - decolonising the curriculum - the revolution must be perpetual. she/her @structureandth1 @raceandhealth

[Nivethitha Ram @NivethithaRam2]

Because #MedEd should be more like jazz. Disruptive.

Medicine prides itself in patient centred care. Which patients are centred? Which patients are relegated to the margins? What systems - historical and present – influence where patients find themselves?

This week’s GroupThink Piece is Your Queen Is A Reptile, @SonsOfKemet third album. With each track named after different women of colour - Mamie Phipps Clark, Angela Davis, Yaa Asantewaa - this album challenges patriarchy, British nationalism, colonialism, and the monarchy. 1/3

[Nivethitha Ram @NivethithaRam2]

@KavKula I wonder whether a critical questioning of the research question itself (in a way that centres and unpacks the philosophical/ontological foundations of race/gender/class) could be knitted into the ethics protocol of biomedical research practice?

[Amaka Eneanya, MD, MPH @AmakaEMD]

I'm proud to share this press release from @PennMedicine today. We will stop using #race with #eGFR reporting. I'm thankful for the advocacy of so many individuals in @PennKidney @UPenn_OID and many other stakeholders. We look forward to also aligning with @ASNKidney @nkf soon.
