There is a lot of work that needs to be done, and that work cannot begin unless an institution is willing to address the reasons why some students thrive and others do not.

Until there is equity for URM students at this institution, Netter LMSA will continue to press forward.

Recently at Frank Netter SOM's annual State of School address, representatives of Netter LMSA and SNMA put on an event called "Netter Crossroads," in which an acting troupe acted out personal testimonies of microaggressions that happened to them while at the school.

One comment that speaks to the need to continue these conversations came from an anonymous member of our clinical sciences faculty, who when prompted in the "Additional Comments" section of the form, replied with two words:

"Never again."

What is the justification for firing essential workers during a pandemic? There are so many people who are struggling, and large institutions should be aiding and NOT be contributing to that struggle. @QuinnipiacU @judyolian

[Netter SOM White Coats for Black Lives @NetterWC4BL]

We said this over the summer, but we will say it again: Laying off essential workers without advance notice in the middle of a pandemic while also hiring C-suite level administrators is exceptionally cruel #QuinnipiacUniversity

@NetterWC4BL @LMSA_Netter As much as we talk about primary care and its importance, I want you all to know we will help you pursue any specialty you love. The world needs you and your brilliance in any specialty that will make you happy.

[LMSA National @LmsaNational]

It not just MD students at risk. According to AACOM statistics, there are over 200+ 1st and 2nd year DO students studying in the U.S. with student visas. We’re asking all MD and DO students to call @AOAforDOs, @AACOMmunities, @AAMCtoday, and @AmerMedicalAssn to stand with us.

[Lynn Copes @lynnepithecus]

Thank you, SCOTUS, for ruling in favor of DACA recipients. #HomeIsHere

[Christian Ugaz Valencia, MD 🇵🇪 @FutureUndocuDoc]

I’m a #DACA recipient and this feels unreal. Grateful that undocumented healthcare providers get to keep their job + continue to help people heal. Today we celebrate, but tomorrow the fight continues. #DACA is the bare minimum and we DESERVE better. Sending 💗 to All, we did it✊🏽

Dream on. #HomeIsHere
