New in @NEJM. “Black residents training face ⬆️ rates of both remedial interventions & dismissal from their programs than do their White counterparts. This disproportionality raises concern that Black trainees are being overpoliced in medical education.” nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
@UREssien @NEJM @AdairaLandryMD @AMLandryMD @OnyekaOtugo @NnekaUfereMD @QuentinYoumans @LindaSuleimanMD @DrQuinnCapers4 @TaisonBell @gradydoctor @EKNduom I would love to see a study of the intersection of race and AMG/IMG
@UREssien @NEJM @AdairaLandryMD @AMLandryMD @OnyekaOtugo @NnekaUfereMD @QuentinYoumans @LindaSuleimanMD @DrQuinnCapers4 @TaisonBell @gradydoctor @EKNduom Facts! I called out a couple of preceptors and of course they were “shocked”
@UREssien @NEJM @AdairaLandryMD @AMLandryMD @OnyekaOtugo @NnekaUfereMD @QuentinYoumans @LindaSuleimanMD @DrQuinnCapers4 @TaisonBell @gradydoctor @EKNduom Continues throughout training well into P&T. Being Black in a field where you are greatly outnumbered layers the toll of being hyper-visible for criticism & invisible for recognition/promotion. It’s a tightrope that leads to increased burnout, worse yet suicide, & has to change.

@UREssien @NEJM @AdairaLandryMD @AMLandryMD @OnyekaOtugo @NnekaUfereMD @QuentinYoumans @LindaSuleimanMD @DrQuinnCapers4 @TaisonBell @gradydoctor @EKNduom Reported the hate speech that followed my comment
@UREssien @DrRayMD @NEJM @AdairaLandryMD @AMLandryMD @OnyekaOtugo @NnekaUfereMD @QuentinYoumans @LindaSuleimanMD @DrQuinnCapers4 @TaisonBell @gradydoctor @EKNduom Black folks: We been knew that All of my Black residents (and the others of color) were more qualified than their white counterparts. Ours was a military hospital so blatant racism was rare, thank God. They had many micro aggressions though.
