It's Martin Luther King Jr. day
In the essence of Dr. King, I'm going to keep it extra real with Twitter this evening. This is particularly aimed at the medical training programs in the Midwest and South. The performative mission statements really have to end. We're sick of it.

Soooooo many programs have these amazing mission statements of supporting diversity, fostering a community of diverse backgrounds, etc...then you look deeper and they've graduated one resident of color in the past decade. They have a homogeneous faculty but their patients aren't.
Another thing that needs to end is the courtesy interview. If you're not actually interested in ranking candidates of color, then don't invite them for an interview (or ask them to rotate at your hospital). It's a trend in medicine and applicants are aware; it's quite insulting.
