The #SCOTUS decision to ban #AffirmativeAction is an injustice to our patient & families. Please remember that "class-based affirmative action" is an effective approach to increase diversity in medicine. @UCDavisCDHW statnews.com/2023/03/07/how…

Incredible📰from one of ours @MytienTNguyen & why FGLI chapters are so critical Adjusted med school acceptance rate by income: <$50k: 24% $50k-75k: 27% $75k-125k: 30% $125k-200k: 33% >$200,000: 37% Your family income should not affect your chance of acceptance into med school

#DearMedTwitter, every Black, Hispanic, AIAN, HNPI student who leave medicine hurts not just the medical institution, but also our patients and the communities that medicine professes to serve Diversity, equity, and INCLUSION doesn't end at admission

#DearMedTwitter, does your medical school currently track attrition by gender, race, ethnicity, income, childhood spent in underserved areas?

Students with one or more marginalized identities are more likely to leave medical school, even after adjusting for academic performance. There's so much to digest from this work that I will tweet (read: rant) about in the next couple of days. Stay tuned!👇

#MedTwitter, it's time to talk about attrition & the persistent leaky path for Black&Hispanic men 3% of med students are Black men, & this leakiness does not stop after matriculation‼️We need to admit AND graduate more men of color New study @JournalGIM link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Why are students of color leaving medical school? Mistreatment and discrimination is one reason. It just compounds the issue when you are already asking ‘Is medicine right for me?’ study author @MytienTNguyen, a Black-Vietnamese medical student, told me. statnews.com/2022/05/31/med…

Mistreatment+discrimination in med school leads students to leave, a problem disproportionately affecting students of color already underrepresented. My story today with @DowinHugh @MytienTNguyen @UREssien and Geoffrey Young of @AAMCtoday statnews.com/2022/05/31/med… via @statnews
