Excited to report that the @AmerAcadPeds resolution, Prohibit the Use of Race-Based Medicine, I submitted & adapted from my MN colleagues @dr_okah & @AndreaWestbyMD’s groundbreaking work, not only passed but was a Top 10 selection!!

This resolution calls for:

1️⃣ the Academy to end the practice of using race as a proxy for biology or genetics in all their educational events & literature, &
2️⃣ require race be explicitly characterized as a social construct when describing risk factors for disease with all presentations at AAP sponsored conferences including a slide certifying their content does not teach race-based medicine
