It was really wonderful to do an operation with three African American Women Surgeons and one Latinx Surgeon. Never thought I would see this ever happen to me in my career. #BlackwomeninMedicine, Society of Black Academic Surgeons, #BlackmenInMedicine, UCSF Surgery, UC San Francisco, #ZFSG, UCSF School of Medicine

So nice to ‘see’ our #ucsfGI fellows at @zoom_us HH, complete with crazy virtual backgrounds! Proud of all of them for their willingness to help out where needed and adapting to these unprecedented times! UC San Francisco

My statement on the death of George Floyd:

(1/2) Trevor on George Floyd, the Minneapolis protests, Ahmaud Arbery & Amy Cooper: “While everyone is facing the battle against coronavirus, black people in America are still facing the battle against racism… and coronavirus.”

It’s about respect & human decency and how we share that with each other. #ShowYouCare latimes.com/opinion/story/…

“if we want to bring about real change, then the choice isn’t between protest and politics. We have to do both. We have to mobilize to raise awareness, and we have to organize and cast our ballots to make sure that we elect candidates who will act on reform.”

“This is not a black problem, but a structural issue built on white supremacy and centuries of racism. It’s your problem. And until you understand that, we are doomed to relive this week’s tragic events over and over again. What changes will you make in your own life?”

The more we see one another, the closer we get to healing. Thank you Journal of Hospital Medicine and Editor-in-Chief Samir S. Shah for making support a verb.

When assessing #medical trainees we often love name-brand med schools/high board scores. Must remember that not everyone has advantage of background/$$ to get in and pay $$ for test prep. To me, HOW and WHY you got where you are is important too. #DiversityandInclusion #MedEd

Moved by recent events, I wrote this piece on how we can address systemic racism in #academia and #STEM. Please read and share. Let's turn Words into Actions! shorturl.at/fpDNT #MedTwitter #BlackandSTEM #AcademicTwitter #BLM #BlackintheIvory Thank you Healio Gastroenterology!
