Language concordant care (esp in surgery!!) is the bare minimum.
For patients with limited English proficiency undergoing surgery, interpreter use is low and only 12% of patients received language-concordant discharge forms, which provide critical opportunities to tangibly enhance care plans’ quality & understanding.

this thread — Black and Latino students should not feel obligated to relive their traumatic experiences to gain access to higher ed. Took me a long time to realize that my academic accomplishments, scientific curiosities were valid in and of themselves.
so race–as a category–cannot be used in college admission decisions, but writing about how one's race influenced their life experience CAN be.
I've been thinking about this all night, and it's is a mess. Let me tell you reasons until I get tired /🧵
