Some data to chew on today from @AAMCtoday - only 4% of US med school faculty in 2019 were black. Only 2% of full professors are black, with only 0.7% being black women. Full breakdown by sex, race/ethnicity & rank in the link. https://t.co/W1kNDB9vML

Change must come from the top. We are starting to see academic institutions step up slowly to acknowledge the past and #JuneteenthDay would be a start. Urge your institutions to do the same. @ColumbiaEM @ColumbiaPS @Columbia @thedoctormaz @DrTsion @kat04747 @tomasrdiaz

Please read this great piece by colleague @smcdonaldMD in @nytimes . He is an African American NYC Emergency physician who breaks down the intersection and complexities of being a black EM physician in the middle of 2 pandemics. Pause , take a step back, and listen.

[Jeremy Faust MD MS (ER physician) @jeremyfaust]

My friend and emergency medicine colleague @DrTsion Firew....

-fought ISIS by being a physician on the ground in Iraq.

-worked in NYC during covid.

-got covid.

-beat covid.

-flew to Ethiopia to help with covid there.

If that’s not the definition of badass, nothing is.

Another Black man was shot and killed by police. This time it was in #Atlanta.

Please don't say anything about how he resisted. Or took a taser. Or ran.

Instead, look in a mirror and ask yourself this:

Would deadly force have been used if this were you?

Excellent article written by my colleague @TiffChioma discussing actionable items for police reform. 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

Wow just learned so much more about how academic medical centers create and perpetuate racial and economic disparities in medicine. Great thread. We gotta do better. @DrTsion @SteflonMD @AngelaMMills @LemaPenelope

[Stefan Flores, MD @SteflonMD]

@thedoctormaz @DrTsion @AngelaMMills @LemaPenelope It’s something we always must work to promote and work for. Awareness and recognition is the first step

[Tsion Firew, MD, MPH @DrTsion]

I am an emergency doctor & I support the protests. Thank you @TIME for featuring our story. We do it for our patients & to end the structural racism and injustices in medicine. This is why doctor’s protest!
