Dear Med Schools and all affiliated academic centers, STOP using med students as your own personal stash of free labor because you don't want to pay a fair wage to people actually trained to do the jobs you want covered. STOP exploiting med students because you can. Dear 
2)Attendings/Supervising Physicians, stop enabling this abuse. Dear Med Students, JUST SAY NO!! You are paying to go to med school--they are not paying you. You notoriously volunteer for many community events and activities w/o being asked. Do not allow these schools/centers to
3)exploit you. Don't interfere with others' abilities to get paid work. RTs, MAs and everyone else on that list should be paid their worth. Don't be a scab. Last but not least, Dear C-suite, get off your fat a**es and transport some patients or bedsit if you don't want to hire
4)people to do so. Give up your bonuses and pay people FFS. Better yet, half of you resign--that alone should provide enough funds to pay people a fair wage. For those who don't know, this lovely letter is from Perelman School of Medicine.
5)However, plenty of med schools have sent out similar manipulative letters attempting to take advantage of the natural altruism of med students while simultaneously avoiding hiring paid labor. Don't believe the garbage that this abuse will strengthen your residency app. No PD
6)worth anything should endorse this nonsense. If they do, shame on them. Students, "No" is a complete sentence. Use it. @pppforpatients @TakeMedBack @PennMedicine
