.@DrIbram closing out the final #AAP2020 plenary

He cites one of the biggest challenges facing health care in its path to become anti-racist is that we need equitable distribution of resources.

“Those places serving communities with the greatest need should be getting the most”
“If you as a white provider are not stepping up to be antiracist & you see you black colleagues stepping up, you are burdening them w/the work alone” @DrIbram #AAP2020

Theme of the day!👇🏾
“To ensure pediatricians are treating all their patients equitably & have the resources to do so is so critical to our future...an antiracist Pediatrician is pure gold”
@DrIbram✊🏾

“When we fight to change children’s circumstances, THAT is when we keep children healthy. THAT is Socially-Responsive Pediatrics”

@DrOmolara opening up the final #AAP2020 plenary with powerful perspective
.@DrOmolara breaks down common frameworks:

Cultural competency doesn’t deliver justice

Structural competency doesn’t dismantle structural inequity

We need to move to Social responsiveness to deliver justice & dismantle structures of oppression

YES🙌🏾🙌🏾

.@DrOmolara’s approach: bring care to the communities instead of working to fit communities into care settings w/historical trauma

Her practice has been setup next to community based organizations. In collaboration, no hierarchy

Appreciate @AMLandryMD opening the #AAP2020 Minority Health Equity & Inclusion program by sharing his “origin story”

A patient asked him why all the black patients in his ED were put in the hallway

He studied that ? & found the patient’s observation to be true. His path was set
This strikes me as a particularly powerful example of why community needs to be at the table as we work to address structural racism in medicine.

They will see problems & solutions even the most antiracist of physicians, policy makers & researchers simply can’t.

Speaking at #AAP2020 Rev @CornellWBrooks starts by illustrating that #EmmettTill #TamirRice & #GeorgeFloyd are the recognized victims of police violence but that the trauma of over overpolicing is felt by whole communities & generations of children.
.@AmerAcadPeds section on Minority Health Equity & Inclusion Chair @DrHeardGarris has described this even more broadly as “vicarious racism”

Similar to secondhand smoke, vicarious racism has real impacts on child health

Pediatricians have a place to help frame the story around racism & police violence’s impact on child health. @CornellWBrooks cites the impact pediatric providers had on the Supreme Court’s Brown v Board of Education decision.
