Mistreatment+discrimination in med school leads students to leave, a problem disproportionately affecting students of color already underrepresented. My story today with Dowin Boatright Mytien Nguyen Utibe R. Essien, MD MPH and Geoffrey Young of AAMC statnews.com/2022/05/31/med… via STAT

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 Mytien Nguyen, a Black-Vietnamese medical student, told me. statnews.com/2022/05/31/med…

#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 New study JGIM Journal of General Internal Medicine link.springer.com/article/10.100…

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!👇

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.

#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

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 National First Gen & Low-Income in Medicine Assoc.

#DearMedTwitter, does your medical school currently track attrition by gender, race, ethnicity, income, childhood spent in underserved areas?

Med training is traumatizing to underrepresented students, filled with glass shards, boulders, and glass walls ➡️MUST READ "Repaving the Pathway to Prevent the Loss of Students With Marginalized Identities" ja.ma/3PeCahe by Monica Lypson Cristina Gonzalez Paula Thompson, PhD

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. jamanetwork.com/journals/jamai…

New study from Mytien Nguyen & team found that approx 1 out of 12 low-income URiM students will not be placed in a GME program upon graduation ⬇️ jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

So honored & privileged to join Usha Lee McFarling & Dowin Boatright to discuss diversity in medicine at the 2022 STAT 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/st… Yale School of Medicine NYU Langone Health

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

Incredible📰from one of ours Mytien Nguyen & why FGLI chapters are so critical Adjusted med school acceptance rate by income: <$50k: 24% $50k-75k: 27% $75k-125k: 30% $125k-200k: 33% >$200,000: 37% Your family income should not affect your chance of acceptance into med school

The #SCOTUS decision to ban #AffirmativeAction is an injustice to our patient & families. Please remember that "class-based affirmative action" is an effective approach to increase diversity in medicine. Center for a Diverse Healthcare Workforce statnews.com/2023/03/07/how…
