Ironic that this Δ literally means "change," yet this @Delta can't seem to change when it comes to racial and gender bias. #BoycottDelta #DeltaNeedsAΔ #BlackWomenInMedicine #WhatADoctorLooksLike #BiasInMedicine cc: @fstanfordmd @DrKathyHughes

#BiasInMedicine @MassMedical A conversation between Dr. Tamika Cross & @fstanfordmd on Dr. Cross' widely publicized experience with bias: "We're sorry, here's a free drink ticket" was the point where she realized that @Delta just didn't get it.

#BiasInMedicine Dr. Tamika Cross talks about her @Delta @DeltaAssist experience, noting the multiple times the employees and the company placed their intrinsic biases over the care of a passenger in need. #WhatADoctorLooksLike #ILookLikeASurgeon #ILookLikeAnEngineer

Dr. Tamika Cross discusses various forms of bias and emphasizes that we all have bias. Consider the impact of #bias on medical providers: teamwork, overall morale, and the doctor-patient relationship. #BiasInMedicine #WhatADoctorLooksLike #WomenInMedicine
