What happened to their commitment to merit based immigration? Or was that just an excuse for a stop-ALL -immigration policy?

"Your role as a surgeon is to focus on care, not curiosity." ~ Dr. @GeolaniDy. Many of our care delivery resources, like our EMRs, are not designed to lend patients the respect and autonomy they deserve.

"One of the biggest ways to be an ally is creating more inclusive spaces. You can start by being affirming, and sometimes that's simply listening - no opinions, no judgment, no 'dissection' of their situation." Dr. Harveshp Mogal on allyship. Assoc4AcademicSurgery

"Be empathetic and accountable. Don’t focus on the technical terms. Listen. And when you make a mistake, apologize, then go read to educate yourself. People are not as fixated on the technicalities as they are on a genuine feeling of care." ~Harveshp Mogal Assoc4AcademicSurgery

A more nuanced picture of "the minority tax" from Harveshp Mogal. Assoc4AcademicSurgery

"It boils down to being intentional. Leaders must be aware that while everybody struggles, there are added layers, nuances [for LGTBQ+ faculty]. When you have people at the highest levels telling you it's a safe space, it sends broad message.” ~Harveshp Mogal Assoc4AcademicSurgery

Dr. Nova Szoka, MD compares studies on the experiences of LGBTQ residents from 2014 and 2020. Inclusion is still lacking, and experiences of residents and faculty may be quite different. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24974336/ Assoc4AcademicSurgery
