<< For centuries in this country, White-only medical schools, with exclusionary policies and practices, made it virtually impossible for Black people to receive medical training…It wasn’t until Reconstruction that a number of Black medical schools sprang up in the South, enabling Black people to finally have access to medical training in greater numbers. These schools were Howard University College of Medicine, established in D.C. in 1868; Meharry Medical College, established in Nashville in 1876; Leonard Medical School, established in Raleigh, N.C., in 1882; New Orleans University Medical College, founded in 1887; Knoxville College Medical Department, founded in 1895; Chattanooga National Medical College, founded in 1902; and the University of West Tennessee College of Physicians and Surgeons, founded in Memphis in 1904. By 1905, those Black medical schools had trained 1,465 doctors. Each of those doctors was poised to train a new generation of physicians, who would have gone on to train a generation of their own. And then, that promising legacy was abruptly extinguished. The reason was the publication of the Flexner Report… After the Flexner Report, five of the seven Black medical schools in the United States were forced to close, leaving only Howard and Meharry. >>

Please read this great and informative article!!!
Breaking news about a groundbreaking deal! Xavier University of Louisiana in New Orleans and Ochsner Health signed a legal agreement to create the Xavier Ochsner College of Medicine! That’s right, a HBCU medical school. Excited to see that we will be strengthening the workforce and diversifying it with this strong addition. This new medical school leverages the academic excellence and strength of Xavier, one of the top HBCUs whose graduates go on to become physicians, and Ochsner, an Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) member institution that delivers health to the people of Louisiana, Mississippi and the Gulf South with its mission of serve, heal, lead, educate and innovate. While there are many key steps before the school will be accredited and enroll its first group of students, this is an important story to share and lift up. We are making progress and changing course from when HBCU medical schools were closing to HBCU medical schools partnering and opening. #HBCU #academicmedicine #NewOrleans #Louisiana #medicalschool #workforce #diversity https://lnkd.in/ePgQugZX

Supporting the next-generation medical staff to be death advocates. Dying is complicated; we know that. Yet, how many medical schools are investing in educating their students on death and supporting a person's dying wishes? We hosted a MyGoodbyes Party for Imperial College Medical School earlier this year. It was lovely to see the university investing in its students on the topic of death; Hosting death cafes and workshops to teach them about what will be an inevitable part of their careers; Challenging the students' perceptions through debate, dialogue and discussion. It was a truly inspiring day, but it left me wondering how to get universities to do more of this and why we urgently need to. Just before my Mum had a stroke, I tried to speak with the Doctor to explain her end-of-life wishes should the worst happen. I was told there was no need; it was too soon: In a recent post on LPAs, people commented of similar experiences; This Doctor has a passion for their profession and clearly values the 'caring' aspect of the role; Yet, she did not have the time or perhaps the education to seek out what my Mum wanted. It appears modern medicine has missed the target when it comes to talking about death with the most critical people there, the dying and their families. Doctors do a tremendous job, but they need support and education about seeking out what individuals want when it comes to their death; after all, each death (like life) is unique. What has your experience been in these situations? I'm James, I write about death, dying and living a good life. My partner always says he wants to leave this earth on the early bus, with a seat, he is a little bananas.

Fourth-year medical students have this seemingly overwhelming desire to buy a house. I'm not sure if it's the delayed gratification thing rearing its ugly head, or if it is some unwritten rule that, once you own a house, “you've made it.” While everyone's situation is different, and rules of thumb aren't necessarily helpful, most medical residents probably shouldn't buy a house. What's your housing plan for residency? #physician #residency #residentphysician #homeownership #rentorbuy #buyingahouse #homebuying #personalfinance #financialliteracy #financialeducation #wci

Important messaging about the need for diversity in our #MedEd curriculum. Be sure to review this important Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC)statement. #DiversityMatters #AccessInMedicine #DocsWithDisabilities https://lnkd.in/eM2SgS8G
First Gen, Disabled, Associate Professor @ University of Michigan | Disability Inclusion Specialist | Executive Director @DocsWithDisabilities Initiative | PI @Meeks Lab. Author, LGBTQI accomplice, mentor, mom, Gigi
I am so grateful and inspired by this statement from Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) leaders David J. Skorton, MD and Alison Whelan on the on the development of medical school curriculum. "Evidence shows that patients do better with a health care team who listens, understands them, and takes their unique experiences into account. Evidence also shows that a person’s varied life experiences and attributes—age, gender, where they were raised, religion, race, disability status, and many others—impact how they prefer to engage with their health care team." Please take time to read and amplify

Words of wisdom for current and future trainees!
“Your co-residents can be your greatest forever friends or merely your co-workers. Either way requires effort, but only the former helps you through the darkest days.” - Karen Cyndari, MD, chief resident and physician-scientist at the University of Iowa. Few aspects of medical education are as intense as residency. In the last week and coming days, freshly minted physicians across the country will tackle brand-new responsibilities, demanding schedules, and a raft of unfamiliar people and processes as they begin up to seven years of hands-on, supervised training in their chosen specialties. But residency also brings with it opportunities for extraordinary growth, tremendous achievement, and the development of profound relationships. Our AAMCNews team asked 17 successful physicians to share brief words of wisdom with today’s trainees: https://ow.ly/MNvA50SuLen We'd love to hear from you! Share your advice or words of encouragement for new residents in the comments below.
