Black Lives Matter
Part of being effective caregivers is creating physically and
emotionally safe environments for all patients. As educators, we strive to
create the same for our students. Here at MEDIC, in line with our
Collaboration; Respect; Safe
Learning statement, we recognize that remaining silent about the systemic
racism, discrimination, and violence facing Black communities and communities of
color, fails to create the safe spaces our patients and students need. We
choose to use our platform to speak out and to stand in solidarity with these
communities, in seeking justice for the lives that have been taken, and in
facing the legacies of racism and oppression in this country.
We believe that Black Lives Matter.

Black Skin Matters, too!
Endemic to medical education in much
of the Western world, is teaching first aiders through medical professionals
what injuries and illnesses look like on white skin only. This abomination
results in both missed and mis-diagnoses in people with dark-complexion skin.
We at MEDIC SOLO denounce this racist practice, and include in our courses:
presentations on what various conditions look like on dark skin. Black
skin matters.
