The disproportionate infection & death rates of #COVID19 in communities of color and low-income populations have highlighted the impact of health inequity and the importance of #BuildingTrust. Society and U.S. health care can and must do better. #ABIMF2020 youtu.be/cHHJ_tKO8aM

Healthcare in the US before COVID-19 was catastrophically flawed. This virus subsequently exposed the insufficiencies & inequities we’ve known about for too long. We desperately need a drastically different system that puts people - and people’s health - above everything else.

We will never forget Ruth Bader Ginsburg, U.S. Supreme Court Justice. #RBG was a champion for justice and she cleared the way for gender equality so other women can have a seat at the table. Her legacy will live on. Rest in power 🖤

In a training session, a doctor said “just because your patients are resilient doesn’t mean they aren’t suffering.” This concept of coexistence struck me. Resilience is often out of necessity, and doesn’t mean someone is “okay.” #MedTwitter

Every time a learner says, "I don't know," it should be a celebration. For the educator, it's a chance to do one of the most important things we've all come here to do - teach. For the learner, it's an opportunity to do the most important thing we've all come here to do - grow.

Beyond grateful for the support and guidance!
