One of my main issues with medical training, and in particular the #Match, is the way we are forced into thinking it’s normal, ideal even, to separate from the communities we were born and raised in.

A thread on disconnection.

[Seattle PHM Fellows @SeaPHMFellows]

A must read for advancing equity in patient care by 2nd yr #phmfellow, Dr. Desiree Yeboah, on use of the term "LEP" @aap_hpeds @PHMFellowships @SeattleHER @seattlechildren https://t.co/7zrFm8GxnV

[Rep. Kim Schrier, M.D. @RepKimSchrier]

With 3/4 of pediatric hospital beds full, we must act to help kids & health care workers. That’s why both @seattlechildren’s Dr. Sperring and I are calling on @POTUS to declare a public health emergency. Read our Op-Ed here: https://t.co/f0jyP7IWIh

[Courtney Gilliam, MD @DrCourtneyAnn]

Racism continues to be perpetuated in medicine through our clinical practice guidelines. Let’s interrogate systemic racism and barriers to differences in outcomes…it’s racism, not race. https://t.co/GgtNDtL5BL @JAMAPediatrics @EdwinLindo @CalltheCNM @JoelTieder

[Sabreen /صبرىن @dakhterakhter]

When the weather gets hot, when wildfire season starts, & just in general- why do we see more kids w respiratory distress from certain areas?

As discussed in a @SeattleHER on Climate Justice, more evidence on the link btwn the h/o redlining & air quality.

[Assistant Secretary for Health @HHS_ASH]

Rounded out the tour at @seattlechildren. Their Psychiatry & Behavioral Medicine Unit serves 3 - 17 year olds in psychiatric crisis. As our mental health crisis continues, the wait list for these beds is long. Working w/ @SecBecerra & partners to do better for our mental health.

[ChiChi Mpamaugo MD, MPH @DrMpamaugo]

Today I learned: 1. Narcan needs to be easily accessible for everyone (including kids) it saves lives 2. I (every pediatrician) needs to complete SAMHSA so I can prescribe Suboxone and learn how to use it properly 3. Our system is failing to identify/prevent/treat kids w/ SUD.

[Heather Hsu, MD MPH @HEHsuMD]

So proud to have been a part of this All-Star team of black female doctors and nurses highlighting our experience for Health Equity Rounds!

[Nicole R. Jackson, MD, MPH, FASCP (she/her) @NicoleJacksonMD]

Currently attending #HealthEquityRounds and learning everything from disparities in mentoring and professional development in healthcare. I am shocked (but also not really) things aren’t that much better in nursing…🤦🏾‍♀️ #DEI

[Kasee Houston, MD/MPP @HoustonKasee]

Thank you ladies for an amazing talk at @SeattleHER in capturing the experiences of Black female heath providers. Definitely felt seen. Much work to do but I’m hopeful with awesome leaders like you in the game.

[Sabreen /صبرىن @dakhterakhter]

These are always phenomenal, and today’s was no different. The difference being the unseen emotional labor it takes to talk about your own experiences and how they impact greater systems. Because equity in health and healthcare spaces is personal.

Proud to know you all. 🤎
