Vida and Marisol, UCSF residents, met during health equity & racial justice week. They’re talking about how hard it’s to be Latinaenmedicina or residency & how it becomes even more challenging the higher up you go. An idea turned into @lacomunidad_enmedicina. Thanks to @md_latina

The PLUS program was founded in 2004 by Dr Anda Kuo who saw a gap in the way leadership skills and advocacy were taught in pediatric training

Congratulations to PLUS alumnae Camila @cribbfabersunne and Dannielle McBride for publishing their PLUS project on racial and ethnic disparities in school discipline 👏🏾👏🏽👏🏼
Camila Cribb Fabersunne, MD MPH@cribbfabersunne

Black, Latine and American Indian students experience racial and ethnic disparities in exclusionary school disciplinary events, and can be considered an adverse childhood experience (ACE). jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

We were thrilled to welcome artist & activist, Michelle Browder, who came to our hospital to tour our recently opened BLOOM: Black Baby Equity Clinic. During the visit, she met with pediatrician Dr. Dayna Long, to discuss plans for opening a similar clinic in Alabama!

The PLUS crew is at it again! We were welcomed to the Hummingbird Farm, a beautiful 6-acre community garden in the Excelsior. We got our hands dirty and learned about many plants and their benefits. Be sure to check out the incredible community Justice work being done by @PODERSF

The goal is Justice and the majority opinion of this Supreme Court is once again complicit in a grave injustice. It's not just about college.
Kamali Thompson, MD, MBA@Kamali_Thompson

Let’s talk about Black physicians (5% of all physicians). We have statistically lower MCAT and Step scores. However, Black physicians taking care of Black patients decreases mortality. If we let less Black applicants into medical school, more patients will die. Period.

We are heartbroken about the death of Dr. Nakita Mortimer. We hope to follow her example and continue the fight for justice and kindness in the residency experience. Thinking of her and all those who loved her.
Rehema J. Thomas, MD@RadiantRehemaMD

This is my dear friend, Nakita. Nakita and I were medical school classmates and both interns in New York City. Nakita tragically took her own life on May 26. She is such a beautiful soul. She was so fun to be around. She was intelligent, charismatic, and confident. (1/x)
