It's important to acknowledge that the current medical education system has its flaws and biases. We need the right data to create a more equitable and diverse medical workforce. #DiversityInMedicine #MedEd #HealthEquity . #SOAP2023 #Match2023 @Alvarezzzy @AdairaLandryMD.

"I don't think I can ever advise another premed or med student without letting them know that they can get a whole. medical degree and STILL not become a doctor. No one should take on this pursuit and all the debt without knowing this reality." @QaaliHussein1.#SOAP2023.

I had the pleasure of writing this article w/ @Alvarezzzy & @AdairaLandryMD about how gatekeeping through The Match contributes to the lack of diversity within medicine. Thank you @Statnews @PJSkerrett for allowing us to highlight this issue. #Match2023.
