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?
Maclite Tesfaye retweeted
Remember when @uoftmedicine posted this story documenting Black History in the Making? applymd.utoronto.ca/news/bla… 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?
We regret to announce that one of us is going to be forced to take a leave of absence due to an inability to meet tuition payments during COVID-19. Please help us and share her GoFundMe widely. She's an amazing student @uoftmedicine. We need her.

Let's amplify this #MedTwitter
Donate to support a brilliant medical student at UofT and a member of the BMSAC family, Noroh. Finances should not be the reason an amazing student and person does not achieve their goals.
Donate, share, amplify!

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 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
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.

The change !!! It’s coming!!! Congrats to those working relentlessly to make this happen. We all know diversity in HCPs is fundamentally better for medical care - excited to see this happen. Who’s next!!!!!
The BMSA team is excited to announce the introduction of BAAP! This is a historic day for the BMSA and CSM. Congratulations to @aya_ebdalla @ChideraNwaroh @KeriiMc, & Mursal Mohamud for leading this initiative. Thank you to our allies and CSM leaders for commiting to action!

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

for everyone interested in what the phrase “defunding the police” means, where it comes from, and how it is different from reforming the police, please watch the above recorded webinar and look at this graphic from @C_Resistance.
Maclite Tesfaye retweeted
as more medical students and physicians join discussions about defunding the police, it is absolutely critical that we learn from the experts & take every opportunity to credit and amplify their work #8toAbolition #DefundThePolice #DefundTheRCMP #MedTwitter
If you missed our teach-in today with the folks from #8toAbolition, you can find the whole video here: haymarketbooks.org/blogs/182…

Here it is. Plainly stated: we are prepared to accept the deaths of migrant farm workers in order to maintain the “integrity” of the supply chain and the profits of a few.
