@cmallarino @justalisongrace What a dream team! 🙌🏼

[Anna Coronata @acoronata]

Here for this whole reflection on privilege and equity in medicine. 👏🏼We have a long way to go....

[L.N. West-Livingston @LWestLivingston]

If you have any doubt that the medical field does a disservice to low-income patients, look no further than the way physicians treat their colleagues and trainees from low-income backgrounds. 1/8

This episode! 🔥 Such required listening for all in medicine.

“The racism in medicine isn’t just a piece of the conversation, it is—in some ways—at the base of the conversation.”

[The Clinical Problem Solvers @CPSolvers]

#MedTwitter, we're proud to present the 2nd episode of our new Antiracism in Medicine series.

Dismantling Race-Based Medicine Part 1: Historical and Ethical Perspectives

Join us for a deep dive w/ @EdwinLindo, @LashNolen, @rohankhaz & @dereckwpaul: https://t.co/WEhyMQVwGd

[Tamorah Lewis, MD, PhD @TamorahLewisMD]

It's 2020.

Words matter.

I hope to use my privilege and platform to change the way we discuss health inequities (while I stand on the shoulders of giants who have been in the trenches of this work).

Following is a 🧵on #RacismNotRace

This is our lane.

It will always be our lane.

And we will continue to fight for the rights of ALL our patients, always.

White gays: "We can now get married on Sunday and NOT be fired on Monday!"

Black gays: "We can now get married on Sunday and NOT be fired on Monday... but still be shot to death by a cop on Tuesday."

Race matters.

Such an important decision from the Supreme Court for all of us today! 🏳️‍🌈

[Lambda Legal @LambdaLegal]

"We do not hesitate to recognize today a necessary consequence of that legislative choice: An employer who fires an individual merely for being gay or transgender defies the law."

🎉🎉🎉🎉

[Anna Coronata @acoronata]

An important reflection about about how we can, and must, get started addressing racism in medical education. Thanks @AbouS_K for sharing. This has to be just the beginning.

The environment of academic medicine is suffocating for Black medical students.

We can’t breathe.

“Now is the time for medical institutions to demonstrate our presence means more than brown faces on pamphlets.”

My thoughts here in @medpagetoday.

Yes, yes, yes. Link to full article below.
“Among the most concerning practices is the use of race as a heuristic in medical education, which encourages physicians-in-training to adopt shortcuts in diagnosis and other aspects of clinical care that could harm patients”

[Utibe R. Essien, MD MPH @UREssien]

As physicians, we are trained to have difficult conversations. We share the news of a terminal illness. We call family to inform them of the death of a loved one.

I promise you this moment is no different. Your friends, colleagues, peers, and patients are looking for your words.

[LaShyra Nolen, MD, MPP @LashNolen]

Every day this week I have been asked by professors:

“How’s it going?”

Today, I decided to no longer pretend I’m okay. The truth is Black students are NOT okay.

We are hurting, our community is suffering and we need space to grieve.

All educators need to hear this message.

Linking here @gradydoctor’s Grand Rounds, “From Bystander to Upstander: Advocacy in Action”, an inspiration. 4/4

I like clinical reasoning because it illuminates the underlying connections between pathophys and symptoms. This reflection by Trevor Noah is just that: making extraordinarily explicit the links between structural racism and Amy Cooper’s actions, George Floyd’s murder. 1/

[The Daily Show @TheDailyShow]

(1/2) Trevor on George Floyd, the Minneapolis protests, Ahmaud Arbery & Amy Cooper:

“While everyone is facing the battle against coronavirus, black people in America are still facing the battle against racism… and coronavirus.”

[Anna Coronata @acoronata]

Yes, medicine is about clinical reasoning. But it’s also about this. Racism is a public health issue.

I’m planning on being a lot more uncomfortable this year. #BlackLivesMatter #MedTwitter 3/

[LaShyra Nolen, MD, MPP @LashNolen]

If you’re white and not ACTIVELY thinking about how to identify, leverage, and/or relinquish your privilege, you are part of the problem. Anti-racism is an ACTIVE process.

Running 3.23 miles and social media posts aren’t enough to dismantle racism.

True allies will do the work.

I am squatting in a corner with my hands over my ears.

Noise. It is too much noise.
About us. About me.

Because us is me.

It is inescapable.
So much noise.

Make it stop.

[Anna Coronata @acoronata]

@krobz Thank you!! So special to share today (virtually) with so many wonderful people!
