How Medical Education Is Missing the Bull’s-eye
List of authors.
LaShyra Nolen, B.S.

Moving through the world as a black woman, I am accustomed to not being represented as “the norm.” Everything from the hue of the Band-Aids that cover my wounds to the heroes in the movies I watch makes me acutely aware of my deviation from what is typical and expected: I am black and female, whereas the world represented around me is often white and male. For me and for many members of minority groups in the United States, this realization does not come as an epiphany but is instead an essential fact that we must come to understand to navigate the world in which we live. It was not until I started medical school, however, that I realized the ways in which the standard representation of white and male might affect medical education — and consequently the quality of care that my peers and I will provide to our future patients.
