We stand in solidarity with our Black colleagues, patients, friends, family, and community and say Black Lives Matter. UASOM’s Student Senate’s statement explicitly states our commitment and action plans for our fight for social justice.
This document was created by UASOM students to disseminate information about anti-racism and racial justice educational resources, protesting + safety tips, and ways to get involved. The goal is to facilitate growth & understanding of anti-racist work and allyship.
On June 9th, student representatives provided recommendations to the Medical Education Committee (MEC) to address racism and inequity in the school.
