The #SCOTUS decision to ban #AffirmativeAction is an injustice to our patient & families. Please remember that "class-based affirmative action" is an effective approach to increase diversity in medicine. @UCDavisCDHW statnews.com/2023/03/07/how-ā¦

Incredibleš°from one of ours @MytienTNguyen & why FGLI chapters are so critical
Adjusted med school acceptance rate by income:
<$50k: 24%
$50k-75k: 27%
$75k-125k: 30%
$125k-200k: 33%
>$200,000: 37%
Your family income should not affect your chance of acceptance into med school

Another greatš°by Hill et al @JAMANetworkOpen on medical honor societies
Sociodemographic disparities exists in both AOA & GHHS membership, but disparities were larger, more prevalent, & increased with multiple marginalized identities in AOA

In our latest @JAMANetworkOpen on the leaky pathway in medicine, we found that URiM, esp low-income URiM students are significantly more likely to go UNMATCHED, even after adjusting for USMLE Step 2 scores @acgme @LmsaNational @anams1975 @SNMA @FGLIMed shorturl.at/oQW03

1/ Let's look at racial and ethnic identity:
1 in 20 of Black and Hispanic students leave medical school
1 in 10 (ā¼ļø) of American Indian/Alaska Native, Hawaiian Native/other Pacific Islander leave medical school
This is not OK. @LmsaNational @anams1975 @SNMA @ajcalac

#DearMedTwitter, every Black, Hispanic, AIAN, HNPI student who leave medicine hurts not just the medical institution, but also our patients and the communities that medicine professes to serve
Diversity, equity, and INCLUSION doesn't end at admission

#DearMedTwitter, does your medical school currently track attrition by gender, race, ethnicity, income, childhood spent in underserved areas?

Students with one or more marginalized identities are more likely to leave medical school, even after adjusting for academic performance. There's so much to digest from this work that I will tweet (read: rant) about in the next couple of days. Stay tuned!š

This cohort study found that the prevalence of inequality in attrition rates across individual and structural measures of marginalization warrants systemic and structural reform. ja.ma/3NSifDu

#MedTwitter, it's time to talk about attrition & the persistent leaky path for Black&Hispanic men
3% of med students are Black men, & this leakiness does not stop after matriculationā¼ļøWe need to admit AND graduate more men of color

Why are students of color leaving medical school? Mistreatment and discrimination is one reason. It just compounds the issue when you are already asking āIs medicine right for me?ā study author @MytienTNguyen, a Black-Vietnamese medical student, told me. statnews.com/2022/05/31/mediā¦

Mistreatment discrimination in med school leads students to leave, a problem disproportionately affecting students of color already underrepresented. My story today with @DowinHugh @MytienTNguyen @UREssien and Geoffrey Young of @AAMCtoday statnews.com/2022/05/31/mediā¦ via @statnews
