Martín is a farm worker who works under a ufw contract and he wanted to share, "In this elections I am going to vote for Kamala Harris, because she is going to support us for immigration reform. ¡Sí se puede! with Kamala Harris!" #Vote

An incredible story from an incredible person. Please take a moment to read - it will provide the perspective and humanity needed to often get us through hard days as healers

I'd be willing to bet that nearly every minority resident has shared a meaningful moment with a cafeteria worker, administrator, greeter, janitor, engineer, or another healthcare adjacent worker in the hospital. Let's be honest, diversity in medicine is still lacking. – at Indianapolis, IN

I felt VERY uncomfortable sending this email…but working on normalizing compensating Black women for their labor and acknowledging that I need to prioritize rest to do this important work (and therefore have to stop agreeing to give talks at 4:45 or 5am)

"There's only so many times you can walk into a room and tell someone they're not coming home tomorrow. It breaks your heart when you hear someone screaming mommy or daddy. It just becomes too hard day in and day out." - Dr. Jason Smith on the toll of gun violence in Louisville

Thank you Admiral Levine for visiting our hospital!
Straight from a doctor on the front lines of the pediatric bed shortage: “If people would get their flu vaccine and get everyone six months and older their updated COVID shot, we could take care of everyone who’s coming in. We need to take pressure off our pediatricians.”

If the goal of being a physician is serving our patients (unanimous head nod). . . then prioritizing diversity is CRITICAL to the purpose of our profession. Think of the patients! Representation matters!! #nationallatinaphysicianday

📣 It is very important to have these convos before taking on a new #DEI role. You also want to share a vision that shows why you need the resources you want! This is what I asked about before taking on an inaugural Asst Dean for Diversity in #GME➡️ teapawt.net/LahiaYemaneMD/status/1…
In the last yr I’ve heard from several jr faculty offered #DEI positions. They are intrigued but skeptical. My advice: “if they are serious about #DEI there will be a budget & FTE release.” This ad bluntly states “No FTE will be provided.” C’mon #AMCs, we can & must do better. 🤦🏾‍♂️
