I'm immensely grateful to Dr. Vijayalakshmi Ananthanarayanan & Dr. Kamran M. Mirza, M.D., Ph.D. (both formerly at Loyola Medicine Pathology) & Dr. Tamara Kalir at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai for giving me- a random, unknown person with no background in the US- a chance to do observership/elective with them. That year (2019), I sent ~100 customized email requests for observerships. I don't count that as a struggle, it is a process. But why does the process have to be so hard, more so for DO Medical Students, IMGs, & students from smaller schools with no pathology programs internally?Help the College of American Pathologists (CAP) #ResidentsForum help medical students by making a centralized resource for electives and observerships. Please fill out information in this excel sheet! 🙏🙏 https://lnkd.in/ejd7Wmwm

Emily Hollis MBE MUniv FCCT Lee Elliot-Major OBE Penny Rabiger Rosemary Campbell-Stephens (We/Us) Dr Karamat IqbalGraham Smith FRSA An interesting post looking at representation in healthcare. Speaking in the context of a micro sample that I know directly, having observed and witnessed over 20 years is parts of the British Asian diaspora - specifically the Pakistani/Kashmiri community particularly in the north of England.What I suggest below "doesn't make it right."Re: structural change for social mobility but it's the agency they have shown to enable progress into this profession and sector.Depending how working class is defined by what threshold of income, many from the British Pakistani Kashmiri community are low income but perhaps not low enough to be on the Free Schools Meal.Many of their parents - fathers who may work in takeaways or driving taxis, second generation. Mothere may not work depending if they are first or second generation. The parents then put a significant emphasis on their children's education with additional tuition and networking within the community so applications are checked and if any relevant work experience can be arranged. Then the fortunate few "make it" and get into medical school.Roll forward 10 years, the children (fourth generation to the UK) of these doctors (third generation to the UK) will more than likely attend a private school and the gentrification of theprofessionals in this community is very real as was the case for the Irish and Jewish communities many decades ago.The individual households move away to form an affluent suburb in the cities and large towns and a new "middle-class Asian" identity is formed.The challenge remains that whilst this is social mobility but it doesn't address the challenge of structural discrimination and the barriers that exist for the significant underrepresentation by race, ethnicity and thus socio-economic class as the post below from The Sutton Trust points out.So the % of doctors is significantly higher of lower income families and also higher from those who originally came from a working class community say 1 or 2 generations ago (which could be as little as 40/45 years given the earlier parenthood trends of some disapora communities).

Thank you, Carle Illinois College of Medicine, for featuring NIRolytics in your recent article on patient care innovation. NIRolytics introduces a Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) cap to swiftly distinguish between hemorrhagic and ischemic strokes, guiding timely treatment decisions. The cap measures absorbance, assessing changes in blood and oxygen. Using AI, it differentiates strokes promptly, enabling swift medication administration. NIRolytics offers a cost-effective alternative to Traditional Mobile Stroke Units with built-in CT scanners, providing efficiency and economic viability.#MedicalInnovation #PatientCare #CompetitionWinner #HealthTech #healthcareinnovation #MedicalAdvancements #PatientExperience #HealthcareTechnology #InnovativeSolutions #HealthcareCompetition #LinkedInPost #MedicalBreakthrough #InnovationChallenge #WinningInHealthcare #FutureOfMedicine #HealthcareLeadership #TechInHealth #PatientCentricity #healthcareexcellence
