A few months ago, I “called in” @SketchyLearning for their stereotypical and ahistorical depictions of Native Americans in their Pharmacology, Pathophysiology, and Microbiology Units. Today, I have some great news to share. @ANAMS1975@IndianCountry
I am finally able to share that a few months ago I worked with @AndrewBergMD, the co-founder of Sketchy, and several others to secure more than $30,000 worth of Sketchy subscriptions for 75+ Native medical students from dozens of Tribes nationwide. @ANAMS1975.
Moving forward, @SketchyLearning Scholars will be providing up to $1 million in subscriptions to organizations like @ANAMS1975 and the @SNMA in support of student success and healthcare diversity.
The Association of Native American Medical Students appreciates this partnership and looks forward to continuing education on #healthequity and responsible portrayals of our communities in all future media.
If Tribes were counted as states, the five most infected states in the country would all be Tribes, with New York dropping to No. 6, according to a compilation by the @UCLA American Indian Studies Center. nytimes.com/2020/05/30/opi…
