Telling BIPOC students, residents, fellows to go up the chain of command in reporting abuse and discrimination assumes that they’ll be heard and treated fairly. Reality does not support this assumption.

Telling any BIPOC physician (student, trainee, faculty) to go up the chain of command in reporting abuse and discrimination assumes that they'll be heard and treated fairly.
This is the healthcare system we want to create. Equity in our worforce is good for patient care.

It absolutely is good for patient care and for the health of our workforce. But we must acknowledge this problem first before we can fix it. Many in medicine refuse to acknowledge this reality.

The thing that really grinds my gears about reporting mechanisms is the way people defend them as if there are no issues, it’s naive/ignorant and dangerous, putting all parties at risk.

The farther up you go, the whiter and more cishet it gets, and the less likely your concerns will be heard by someone who is willing to understand. 😥
