TBH we are not sure the best way for a pediatric residency program to address current events. All we know is that we have to say something. (thread)
We are horrified by the death of George Floyd and we believe that #BlackLivesMatter
We can't help but think of our patients. Some of them don't get to feel as safe as others because their skin is darker. And we know kids need to feel safe in order to grow.
We are a training program. Learners of all stages need and deserve to feel safe. To our black residents and students: we see you. We hear you. We are so glad you're here.
Here are some of the thoughtful and smart things people in our community are saying:

End thread (for now). We are pediatricians so we can't stop ourselves from saying: stay safe, everyone. ❤️
