Thrilled to announce that Dr. Emelia Benjamin is the 2020 Recipient of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Award from the Alliance for Academic Internal Medicine!! This award is presented to an individual who has effectively improved diversity within a medical school! Bravo!

Presenting our diversity recruitment efforts at @BMCHealthEquity 2nd annual Health Equity Symposium - with the implementation of a diversity committee, we saw overall increase in URM applicants, URMs interviewed and URMs ranked to match #HES2019 #diversityinmedicine

@BMCHealthEquity symposium on racism and representation in the health sciences. Proud to be a part of such a great program and inspired by so many great people. But most of all, so much more work to be done!

Dr. Lydia Villa Komaroff giving a riveting presentation about implicit bias! #HES2019

Thank you to our Panel for having "A Conversation About Racism" Special thanks to the facilitator @haroldcoxsph . #HealthEquity @BMCHealthEquity @BUSPH

Associate Dean @BUSPH, Harold Cox, MSSW kicks off our @BMCHealthEquity Symposium panel on racism with important questions: "What does racism look like in Health and Sciences? How is it displayed? And what do we do about it?" #HealthEquity

I tell applicants this all the time. As important as having a socially-minded EM program is being part of a hospital system that is dedicated to health equity and advocacy. So impressed by the work being done by my @The_BMC colleagues to fight racism and promote representation

Thank you all for coming today to @BMCHealthEquity Symposium. Looking forward to great poster presentations and discussions. #healthequity @The_BMC #HealthForAll
