2 yrs ago, I posted a TikTok video about Pulse Oximeters. For decades, they haven't worked as well on darker skin tones. My video received over 200K views and started my "Racial Bias in Medicine" series.

Today a FDA advisory committee is finally convening to address the problem!

Let’s stop using the word professionalism.

If you mean:
-punctuality, bedside manners, work ethic, etc.

Just say that.

The p-word is too often used as a disguise for discriminatory practices.

This is brilliant.

People who try to 'protect' kids from homosexuality will ask kindergartners if they've got a girlfriend yet.

This headline is supported by the countless texts, DMs and emails that I receive on a weekly basis from Black women asking for recommendations for Black physicians. There simply aren’t enough Black physicians to meet the demand. Pipeline programs, govt investments are needed.

On this Mother’s Day, I’m thinking of all the Black mothers who died in childbirth due to racism in healthcare. This day belongs to those mothers, too — and not just to the mothers who survived. Let today be a reminder of the work still left to do.

in honor of Black Maternal Health Week, here’s your reminder that Black women are 3-4x more likely to die giving birth.

we need change not a week showcasing birth as a death sentence for Black women.

...cops aren’t supposed to kill guilty people either...

[Jozya @jozyaaa_]

maybe one day pre-health professions will stop teaching students that Black people are predisposed to certain diseases *because* they are Black......

one day

Are trans rights human rights?

Yes Yes Yes

Allowing med schools to relegate health disparities/antiracism education to “elective” courses and curricula is just as incendiary as allowing the Utah school to let kids “opt out” of Black History Month education. Teach the full picture. Medicine without equity is bad medicine.

[Carlos A. Rodríguez @CarlosHappyNPO]

“I see no color” is not the goal.

“I see your color and I honor you. I value your input. I will be educated about your lived experiences. I will work against the racism that harms you. You are beautiful. And I will do better.��

... That’s the goal.

college is so funny bc everyone ALWAYS talks like they’re presenting a ted talk 😭

[Carlos A. Rodríguez @CarlosHappyNPO]

Stop pretending “not choosing a side” is somehow a virtue.

It’s privilege.

[Jozya @jozyaaa_]

I don’t really want to “unite” with racists idk that’s just me tho

Organic chemistry and physics courses are requirements for admission to medical school, when systemic racism and the social determinants of health have the largest impact on health outcomes.

[uché blackstock, md @uche_blackstock]

Remember when I tweeted that health equity work is love. Today, another Black woman MD and I shed tears on a call discussing racial inequities in breast cancer. In the US, BW are 40% more likely to die from breast cancer than WW.
In Memphis, TN, Black women are *70%* more likely.
