"Choosing not to revise antiquated policies, reinforces the racism that has been built into our healthcare system. We need to work together to dismantle these colonial systems" important words cited in @SamirS_H's CFMS Advocacy session on #MedicalColonialism #Fighting4aHand2Hold

Q: What's a lesson we should take from this as medical students?
#Patientcenteredcare! Get to know their context and what is important to them. Prioritize that in the care plan.
This includes individualized care, holistic care, collaborative care, & therapeutic relationships.

McGill University medical students are calling on @MTL_Ville to act against racism and police violence and treat it like a public health crisis—with evidence-based interventions developed in collaboration with Black and Indigenous communities.

Des étudiants en médecine de l'Université McGill appellent @MTL_Ville à proposer des actions pour contrer le racisme et la violence policière qui sont à la hauteur d'une crise de santé publique : appuyées par les communautés noire et autochtone et soutenues par des preuves.
