Excited to share our study on sex & race/ethnic inequities in research experiences and publications during medical school w/ @DowinHugh in @JAMANetworkOpen, ja.ma/3W46kYo
Main findings: women, URiM, ESPECIALLY URiM women students have the lowest publication rates

So honored & privileged to join @ushamcfarling & @DowinHugh to discuss diversity in medicine at the 2022 @statnews Summit. We will have a critical conversation on why there aren't more Black doctors. We hope you can join us in Boston! statnews.com/2022/summit/sta… @YaleMed @nyulangone

Another great📰by Hill et al @JAMANetworkOpen on medical honor societies
Sociodemographic disparities exists in both AOA & GHHS membership, but disparities were larger, more prevalent, & increased with multiple marginalized identities in AOA

In this new @jamanetwork study of more than 33,000 allopathic MD-only medical students who identified as underrepresented in medicine race and ethnicity, had low income, and were from under resourced backgrounds were more likely to leave medical school.

1/ Let's look at racial and ethnic identity:
1 in 20 of Black and Hispanic students leave medical school
1 in 10 (‼️) of American Indian/Alaska Native, Hawaiian Native/other Pacific Islander leave medical school
This is not OK. @LmsaNational @anams1975 @SNMA @ajcalac

#DearMedTwitter, every Black, Hispanic, AIAN, HNPI student who leave medicine hurts not just the medical institution, but also our patients and the communities that medicine professes to serve
Diversity, equity, and INCLUSION doesn't end at admission

Med training is traumatizing to underrepresented students, filled with glass shards, boulders, and glass walls

#DearMedTwitter, does your medical school currently track attrition by gender, race, ethnicity, income, childhood spent in underserved areas?
National First Gen & Low-Income in Medicine Assoc. retweeted
Students with one or more marginalized identities are more likely to leave medical school, even after adjusting for academic performance. There's so much to digest from this work that I will tweet (read: rant) about in the next couple of days. Stay tuned!👇
This cohort study found that the prevalence of inequality in attrition rates across individual and structural measures of marginalization warrants systemic and structural reform. ja.ma/3NSifDu

2/ Low-income students (incl students who were previously low-income) & students who grew up in medically underserved neighborhoods experience 2X the rate of attrition compared to their peers @FGLIMed

#MedTwitter, it's time to talk about attrition & the persistent leaky path for Black&Hispanic men
3% of med students are Black men, & this leakiness does not stop after matriculation‼️We need to admit AND graduate more men of color

Why are students of color leaving medical school? Mistreatment and discrimination is one reason. It just compounds the issue when you are already asking ‘Is medicine right for me?’ study author @MytienTNguyen, a Black-Vietnamese medical student, told me. statnews.com/2022/05/31/medi…

Mistreatment+discrimination in med school leads students to leave, a problem disproportionately affecting students of color already underrepresented. My story today with @DowinHugh @MytienTNguyen @UREssien and Geoffrey Young of @AAMCtoday statnews.com/2022/05/31/medi… via @statnews

Medical students who experience mistreatment & discrimination during the first 2 years of medical school are more likely to leave.
