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.

This article completely glares over Indian Country.

"The data also showed several pockets of disparity involving Native American people.”

Seriously, that's all you can say? @NYTimes 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…
