Spending an afternoon with the best group of @uoftmedicine medical students & co-tutor @JMayYXE is a surefire way to make me feel inspired and renergized. So lucky to know them!

Where's that @uoftmedicine ? We're looking really hard to find it, and we can't seem to. Are we only tokens to you? Does excellence only come through equity when it is convenient for you?

Remember when @uoftmedicine posted this story documenting Black History in the Making? applymd.utoronto.ca/news/black-his… and the time where they put my face on their financial aid/fundraising campaign? Or the time they created BSAP to pioneer excellence through equity?

Although I appreciate the approach Queen's has begun to take, I do wish more was addressed on how these Black and Indigenous students will be properly supported at a school that is known to have blatant issues with racism especially for undergrads: instagram.com/p/CC1NDO9BUqo/
Queen's Health Sciences@QueensUHealth
Queen’s Accelerated Route to Medical School is unique in Canada, providing a pathway to med school for high school students. Going forward, its 10 seats will be designated for Black Canadians & Indigenous peoples. Read about this exciting change: bit.ly/30Nc6BU

Writing is healing and I'm grateful to have shared my honest reflection with @NEJM
NEJM@NEJM
A lack of competency in engaging with Black patients is the reality in Canada, where Black communities have been undertreated for their pain and have reported barriers to Covid-19 testing. Reforming medical education and addressing institutional racism are the answers. #COVID19

"The restriction of debate... invariably hurts those who lack power and makes everyone less capable of democratic participation."
The irony is that "debate" and "democracy" are already hurting those who lack power, they've just never noticed or cared until they were offended.

A statement signed by 150 people incl. Bill T. Jones, Wynton Marsalis, Jennifer Finney Boylan, Noam Chomsky, J.K. Rowling, Margaret Atwood, and Salman Rushdie expresses concern over the illiberal trend intensified by our national reckoning. harpers.org/a-letter-on-ju…

@tomasrdiaz @uoftmedicine It lead to a significant increase in the number of Black students at UofT Med. There will be 50+ Black medical students next year!

Dx: Racism (a story thread)
Today, I met Mama and my patient B. It had been awhile, Mama sighed. There was so much to share, she said, and the stories tumbled out.

this verdict shows how difficult it is for Black people to get fair decisions through the courts. they can't provide justice for us. the abolition of police AND our court systems will allow us to build systems of true accountability
I know this hurts--let's hold each other today
