Racism in health care disproportionately disadvantages patients who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour. Learn how Dr. @TitoDaodu is advancing #antiracism in health care and #MedEd. #BlackHistoryMonth

Thank you Drs. @pamelamroach & @KatrinaMilaney for leading the @csmengage & @OBrien_IPH statement about Indigenous children continuing to die in government care. How is this possible in 2022? If we ever needed a reason to act this is it. Children's lives depend on it.

49 children died while under government care in Alberta in 2021. About 4-in-5 of those who died were Indigenous children. Read the @csmengage / @OBrien_IPH statement on the high number of deaths of Indigenous children in child intervention services:
