Some data to chew on today from @AAMCtoday - only 4% of US med school faculty in 2019 were black. Only 2% of full professors are black, with only 0.7% being black women. Full breakdown by sex, race/ethnicity & rank in the link. aamc.org/system/files/2020-0…

Recently the media has taken to sounding the alarm over a “second wave” of COVID-19 cases. Such panic is overblown. Thanks to President @realDonaldTrump’s leadership & the courage of the American people, we’re winning the fight against the invisible enemy. wsj.com/articles/there-isnt-…

Change must come from the top. We are starting to see academic institutions step up slowly to acknowledge the past and #JuneteenthDay would be a start. Urge your institutions to do the same. @ColumbiaEM @ColumbiaPS @Columbia @thedoctormaz @DrTsion @kat04747 @tomasrdiaz

Please read this great piece by colleague @smcdonaldMD in @nytimes . He is an African American NYC Emergency physician who breaks down the intersection and complexities of being a black EM physician in the middle of 2 pandemics. Pause , take a step back, and listen.

Another Black man was shot and killed by police. This time it was in #Atlanta.
Please don't say anything about how he resisted. Or took a taser. Or ran.
Instead, look in a mirror and ask yourself this:
Would deadly force have been used if this were you?

As a physician We must ALWAYS fiercely commit to opposing racism through active allyship, continuous unlearning, learning, listening and teaching. Always stay woke. Nominating 5 other colleagues who know the deal @bernardchangMD @MVMadhavanMD @andrewchanMD @bjag787 @IOEmeruwa
