1/ Paper of the week. Been waiting for a while on this one. Thanks Yannis Valtis Evan Michael Shannon, MD, MPH & BWH team for putting the data to what we sadly suspected.

Minorities are held to higher standards & are promoted less often than non-POC faculty. It is our duty as mentors & leaders to ensure that academia is a safe place where EVERYONE has the same opportunity to thrive #meded #antiracism #blackintheivory #facultydevelopment

Thanks Los Angeles Times for highlighting disparities - by insurance and race - in interhospital transfer of patients from community to tertiary hospitals. Clearer guidelines that incorporate impact of systemic racism are needed to guide clinicians on IHT best practices Stephanie Mueller
