Learned so much working and writing with law colleagues - read our article for some perspective on guardianship and institutionalization of patients, especially when considering identity and bias

As a Black med student, it’s been great to see conversations about racism in medicine become less taboo.
Hopefully we can also address how wealth continues to be a de facto gatekeeper for a career in medicine. I share my thoughts and a few solutions here: medscape.com/viewarticle/949…

A few of us from MD++ (mdplusplus.org) are starting a #socialEM working group to (1) share playbooks across institutions and (2) organize community stakeholder roundtables - would love to join forces with other #MedStudentTwitter folks at other schools! cc @aneeqahnaeem

1/2 I’m not going to reveal who wrote this, but it’s one of my scientific & personal idols who redefined cancer : “Human creativity is best defined as joining two fields that have not been joined before. All those who are truly creative have “mastered the art of non-expertise”

In my first blog post ever (!), I discuss using #criticalracetheory as a framework for addressing racism through Medical-Legal Partnerships. Indebted to #CRT scholars. Inspired by #healthjustice league & colleagues @DickinsonLaw. #socialdeterminantsofhealth #medleg @National_MLP
"MLPs are generally more oriented toward addressing the effects of racism as a SDoH, rather than as the cause of poor health," @MedhaD writes. "But considering the cross-cutting nature of racism as a SDoH, MLPs can and should address it directly." blog.petrieflom.law.harvard.…

“Why do you want to be a doctor?”
I answer without hesitation, “I want to help people.”
“There are many ways to help people.”
“I want to save lives.”

“Because I believe in it.” 1/

12 years ago when President Obama was elected, I naively believed we were close to a post-racial America. In this piece, I discuss why that's impossible & why we need politicians like @JoeBiden and local/state officials to do more than say #BLM - show us. tinyurl.com/y83a8o92
