Incredible anti-racism resource list. Title of this project coined by Dr. Roxane Gay (roxane gay). Time to get to work, especially if you hold positions of power and privilege (I.e. my education and career afford me privilege). Start here. yourblackfriendsarebusy.com

Protests save lives y’all. This multi-racial uprising IS the reason change is happening. It is what makes this moment different than those that came before. We, as a nation, owe these protestors an enormous debt of gratitude. And we owe them the changes they are calling for.

Newly minted R2 Dr. Christina Warner dominates this PTA drainage. Like. A. Boss. UC Davis Health Department of Emergency Medicine #entprocedures #EmergencyMedicine #MedEd

When I was a Med 1, a well meaning URM Peds resident said, re: my interest in Cardiology, “It saddens me when URMs don’t realize that primary care is where they are needed.” I sighed ... Thanks for this great thread, @SBowersMD!

If you're interviewing this fall, ask the residents: What is your relationship with your program coordinator like? How long was your orientation and did you get paid for it? Tell me about a time where you were sick or had an emergency and how you got the support you needed.

The outrage surrounding #MedBikini is justified. At the ROOT of this, is the idea that all surgeons should ‘conform’ to a predetermined definition of surgeon. This puts women, BIPOC, religious & gender/sexual minorities at significant disadvantage in Academia

15/ Lessons you taught me: Take a chance. Ask for help. Be yourself. Stay ready. And hustle. Whew. Study the books. Read the journals. But never, ever forget where the most meaningful wisdom is. It’s with the patient, man. All day and all night, baby. Yeah. #HumanismAlways

No amount of vaccine education to overcome medical mistrust will address the structural bias in place when there are no vaccine sites in minority communities.

I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but the United States is a racist country.

Saw a pt last night who had bilateral wrist pain after a fall 24 hours ago. XRs looked negative to me. He had good ROM. So I discharged him. Reads came back this AM with very small fractures in *bilateral* distal radii. Needed to have removable splints put on.

Spent the morning sitting at a table in the lobby next to this sign. I know a lot of people feel too tired for this. But we made a difference today. I KNOW we did. Thank you GradyHealth and also our residents for helping make this idea a reality!👊🏽🥲🏥❤️ #imjustgladtobehere
