During Black History Month, we celebrate Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler, the first African American woman to earn a medical degree in the U.S. Her efforts to confront “intense racism” and gender bias in medicine is a testament to resilience and determination. #DrRebeccaLeeCrumpler

Join the Movement with SIDM, shedding light on the urgent need for accurate diagnoses, especially for women and minorities. Let's break the chains of misdiagnosis together! nbcnews.com/health/health-ne…

Medical errors kill scores each year in the U.S., especially women and minorities

Hundreds of thousands of U.S. patients are harmed or die each year because of diagnostic errors. Women and minorities are up to 30% more likely to be misdiagnosed than white men.
