The Virtual Mentor and Future Surgeons Journal Club teams stand in support of #blacklivesmatter. Racism is a public health crisis which impacts the opportunity and success of our black students, residents, and attending physicians as well as outcomes for our black patients. We stand in solidarity with the peaceful protests and outrage over the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Sean Reed, and hundreds of innocent, unarmed men and women who have become unintentional martyrs for racial injustice. We will be sharing resources which have helped us on our journey to become allies. Please reach out if you have more we can add to this page.
