I signed in to respond to this article, only to find that you have already raised the key points I wished to hey out there to the author and the community. In particular, the acknowledgement of unconscious bias in treatment delivery.
I would also note that much of the current activity is in no shall pay being driven by student demand and action; I think we all run grave risks if we dismiss or ignore the power of student activism. Just because these particular students are in training as physicians doesn't change the reality of them as students.
