[Doctoring Differently | Naomi Lawrence-Reid, M.D. @DocDifferently]

Physicians belong in politics
Physicians belong in policy
Physicians belong in tech
Physicians belong in pharma
Physicians belong in finance
Physicians belong in the C-suite

Physicians belong at every table where decisions about human health are made.

So many times I find that when we write personal statements, especially those of us of “non-traditional” backgrounds, we pull on tragedy and provide trauma porn to display our “grit” and “resilience”. We are coached to do this to improve our ability to “stand out”. /1

[Annie Hernández, MD, MPH @annmhdz]

@Enrique_Acevedo @CrisAlexJimenez I think many people, including myself, are calling for resignations as a step towards accountability, but I agree it won't solve the issue. I'm curious what you (and others) think accountability would or could look like. Genuinely curious how we can address the root causes.

(1/3) My heart is full with the AMAZING love and community of our Latino/a physician familia!

Next steps? We need DATA for next year!

1. What is your incoming medical school Latino/a demographics? % #NationalLatinoPhysicianDay #NationalLatinaPhysicianDay @MichaelGalvezMD

[Gualberto Muñoz @doctorgmunoz]

20% of the US pop. is Latina/o/x but make up only 6% of physicians!

Today we celebrate our 1st ever National Latina/o/x Physician Day! We won’t rest until ALL patients receive quality care that is language concordant, culturally sensitive, and reflective of our population #NLPD

[Annie Hernández, MD, MPH @annmhdz]

@DrMaga @wendy_ruggeri @TaninLA @dr_shaps @LPOC_LatinxMDs @NHMAmd @MiMentorOrg @MichaelGalvezMD @TheMillennialMD These faces make me so happy! What a treat to see so many latina/o physcians on my feed!! 👩🏽‍⚕️🔥

[DoctoraMorales @morales_doctora]

Representation matters! Daughter of immigrant 🇲🇽parents, born&raised in East LA.
6% is not enough and we owe it to our patients to diversify our physician population so that it is more representative of the communities we serve. #NLPD @LatinxOncology @LatinasInMed @lmsa_west

[AMA @AmerMedicalAssn]

California Surgeon General, @DrDianaRamosMD, shares the importance of representation in medicine and why it's crucial that our health care workers reflect the diversity of their patients. https://t.co/ZqkkXektqe #LatinoPhysicianDay #LatinaPhysicianDay
