SEPTEMBER
Maria Chroneos, MSTP-M2;
Gabrielle Gilmer, MSTP-G1
For their organization and consistent maintenance of the 21-Month Racial Equity Habit Building Challenge in PittMed’s chapter of the American Physician-Scientist Society (APSA), running for nearly a year – the longest running interest group activity, to our knowledge, focused on racial equity and inclusion from a non-identity-based organization or organization dedicated to students of URM identity. It is crucial that we treat diversity, equity, and inclusion, as year long topics of reflection and practice that apply in any discussion of medicine and science. Our Black, AAPI, and Latinx student leaders should not be the sole source and motivators of this content in our curricular and extracurricular activities, though we ought to always welcome their voice and learn from them when they choose to share. We aim to see more reflection and practice of racial, gender, and sexuality equity in a longitudinal fashion among the rest of our student leaders.
