“Everyone has the ability to show kindness, inclusion and empathy. As people in health care, we have the power to focus on the strengths of immigrant families.” - @ArianaHoet#DISCOVERYx2022
“Take some time out of your day to do something for someone that’s in a worse situation than you are. It starts by doing that one thing.” - @luckymeck13#DISCOVERYx2022
Got to watch #DISCOVERYx hosted by @nationwidekids this afternoon. It is a series of TEDx inspired talks by employees of the hospital. Really powerful stuff. This particular message really resonated with me. We need to do better.
#MedTwitter When have you ever seen so many Black Doctors and future doctors gathered in unison like this? #AMEC2022 would be the only answer. #VolumeUp#LiftEveryVoice Congratulations to all of us! @SNMA
Diversity and inclusion is so much more than just hiring a melanated face. IT IS NOT ENOUGH to hire Black/minority candidates when you offer no real type of support and protection for them at your institution.
Today on Peds Hem/Onc, I was on my first ever all black team!
Black Attending. Black Senior. Black intern. Black NP. Treating our Black patients with Sickle Cell Anemia.
Thank you @NCHPedsRes for making this the best start to Black History Month! 💪🏿 #BHM
Black MATCH 2022 applicants a word of advice: if your top programs are lacking melanin, think long and hard about if you want to be the only Black resident in that program; especially if they don't have Black faculty.
Yes, you MATCH there this year but that doesn't mean 1/2
30% of the U.S. is Black/African American, Latinx/Hispanic, Native American or Pacific Islander, yet <15% of U.S. physicians hold these identities. Changes to @NCHPedsRes recruitment are helping to close this gap: pediatricsnationwide.org/202…#URM#DEI@DrRayMD@MHoffMD@ClauMosquera
Going to medical school as a low income student meant taking on nearly $300K in educational debt. That's grown to over $400K thanks to interest. Want more doctors who come from disadvantaged backgrounds? Make higher education more accessible & #CancelStudentDebt
