They say to study what makes you most frustrated… this paper, including patient voices, was born from being tired of seeing blatant inequity in LA in care for pts with Medicaid. Work on internal improvement and policy change is critical and ongoing!🚨

There have been 385 mass shootings in the US this year. Just last week the Apalachee shooting in GA took innocent lives, and schools in Kentucky shut down on Mon due to a mass shooting on a major highway. I expected more conversation around gun control.
We need #gunviolenceprevention so that our children can go to school safely, and so that active shooter trainings in places of work, education, and worship are no longer the norm.
Speaking of immigrants eating pets, let’s talk about how Kamala Harris ATE Trump up and chewed him out. #KamalaHarris
Dear Grandma Brenda,
1. We are protesting the injustices that so many black bodies have faced in light of police brutality. Exhibit A…your grandson.
2. No, we don’t care!
3. Take your prayer and sympathies to Sean’s jail cell and stop writing nonsense in the muddy rivers
Letter to the Editor: Does anyone care about Sean Grayson's family or what horrifying reality they are dealing with? #SonyaMassey muddyrivernews.com/opinion/l…

Thank you @statnews @ushamcfarling and Karen Pennar for your support with this article written by @OnyekaOtugo and myself.
Sonya Massey should be alive today.
Opinion: Crisis Intervention Trainings should be mandatory for all police officers, and mental health crisis teams should be funded and deployed for de-escalation. trib.al/BdIggBD

Join us for an empowering discussion with a panel of IMGs and non-traditional students. From current doctors and incoming medical students to an incoming podiatrist medical student who serves in the Navy, our panelists represent diverse paths in healthcare.
Officially graduated from the longest standing EM program at the #1 Trauma Center in New England. 🏥 I am so proud of how far I’ve come in this journey, and it has been a privilege to serve at the People’s Hospital with My People 💛👩🏾⚕️ #emergencymedicine

AAEM recently released an official statement on DEI programming in medical education.

Listening to the LIVE coverage of Roger Fortson’s shooting, a US Airman robbed of his life and future by our failing criminal justice system. Killed in his own home. How many more black bodies need to be massacred….how many…
It is absurd that this man will speak at LAC…we must do better for our nations health than to give the politicians that falsify data airtime. How can you have logical discussion with individuals who are not logical. Make it make sense.
The Educate Act is a misled representation of what it means to truly have DEI efforts in medical school and it intentionally misconstrues the language of equity leaders to build its platform and misinform the public. This is unacceptable and a detriment to our healthcare system.
📣 EMRA responds to the Educate Act addressing DEI in medical education.
