There’s a lot of similarities in our stories. I hope you keep sharing yours. The world and all the little boys and girls who look like us need to hear it. And they need to see people like us who look like them with MDs and PhDs behind our/their names.

We were just talking about this very issue at the
@AAMCtoday Annual Conference. Is it really a meritocracy if test prep, unpaid internships, and all the trappings of a "well-rounded" Med school application cost lots and lots of money?#MedEd#MedTwitter#WeCanAndMustDoBetter -
It isn’t, and I believe one of the pivotal reasons patients (especially if low-income themselves) complain about MDs being unrelatable or not fully understanding of their day to day circumstances comes from steep financial barriers accessible mostly to the upper middle class.

Thank you for speaking up. Meaningful diversity also includes socioeconomic status. Poverty is main driver for many issues.

Thank you for sharing. I remember being chastised once for eating a few packets of saltine crackers from a patient care area during med school. I was on a 24h call, hungry and didn’t have money to buy food. I always buy my students and residents a meal when I’m on call now.
