I’ve heard about Black residents dismissed disproportionately compared to white residents. But this is truly shocking.

Of all ppl dismissed (fired) from residency in 2015, over 20% were Black in surg, peds, IM, anes.

Only 4% of all residents r Black.

Also you should just take a look at this this link because it was a GREAT talk.

(Medicine’s racism not great, but the figures contain data I have been looking for a long time)
