To all the un-matched m4’s:

You are brilliant.
You are needed.
You deserve a place to develop your skills and serve your communities.

Dig your heels in and FIGHT like hell. You can do it.

@TTimeTatum Let’s talk about it! Cuz med school was just the warm up. Residency as a URM has been a monster as well

[Ayana Worthey, MD @ScrubCapShawty]

@fleming_ii Its absolutely infuriating. I’ve been mistaken for wait staff at multiple residency events, once by a faculty member.

[Ayana Worthey, MD @ScrubCapShawty]

This piece hits home! Bias is REAL and so are the consequences.
