đź§µRACISM IN MEDICINE: This is disgusting! @KPMedSchool claims to be committed to diversity, equity & inclusion but SUSPENDS Dr. @ayshakhoury hours after being asked to teach med students about racial disparities in medicine wearing a "I can't breathe" t-shirt 1/10
@DrMarkSchuster

"When facilitators were asked to incorporate topics on bias & racial health disparities into the August 28, 2020 class, I decided to show up fully as a Black woman & physician. That morning, I paired a t-shirt with the words “I can’t breathe” with my usual African print attire"
For six weeks, Dr. @ayshakhoury was removed from both the clinic and the classroom. She remains suspended from her teaching role at the medical school. 3/10
"How is it possible in the same summer that racism is repeatedly confirmed as a public health issue, I was placed on a now 18 week suspension after facilitating a medical school class incorporating topics of bias & racial health disparities?" @ayshakhoury

.@MichaelKanterMD & @DrMarkSchuster refuse to REAPPOINT @ayshakhoury to faculty claiming, "the decision is not based upon your bringing content related to anti-racism to the classroom or for sharing your experiences as a Black woman in Medicine".. but👇🏽

Without her teaching duties, "everything is just a reminder of not living the life you planned for yourself. I told my story in the class and within 9 hours, I get this call and it's gone," @ayshakhoury
There are 47.8 million (14.6%) African-Americans in the US, however only 5.0% of active physicians are Black.

WE will NOT BE SILENT, while @MichaelKanterMD, @DrMarkSchuster, @KPMedSchool, and @aboutKP DESTROY the career of @ayshakhoury! Reappoint her to faculty!!

If you're Black or Latino strongly consider NOT applying to @KPMedSchool, given their SUSPENSION of Dr. @ayshakhoury hours after teaching med students about racial disparities. If they treat BLACK FACULTY like this, imagine how they treat MED students
