Description:

The Department of Emergency Medicine is a diverse and inclusive group that pledges to continue working for a society that condemns racism and cherishes diversity. The Emory University Department of Emergency Medicine is a diverse and inclusive group whose foundation is grounded in diversity, inclusion, equity, and social justice. As has been noted in the statements by President Sterk, Dr. Jon Lewin, Dr. Vikas Sukhatme, and Dr. Carolyn Meltzer, SAEM, ADIEM, and many more, this has been an incredibly difficult and trying time in our country. We stand together as allies to support our brothers and sisters of color who have experienced racism and hate at a time when people of color are suffering the most from COVID-19. We are in full support of the statement from SAEM/ADIEM (SAEM/ADIEM) that was released on the death of Mr. George Floyd. We support our brothers and sisters who have recorded their stories to shine light on racism, police violence, and the injustices that have occurred in our country. Thank you to Emory EM Drs. Chowa, Gipson, Mack, Gaines, Beecher, Goines, and Smith for courageously sharing their UntoldStories with all of us.
