Interesting results regarding specialty satisfaction. I wonder what role are the factors contributing the most to the responses received? We believe these results could be impacted by an increase in #healthequity. As patient outcomes and participation in preventative care, the providers should report being happier and higher work/life integration. #WeAreMore #YouAreMore https://lnkd.in/e4vGUmTc

Meet Leonidas Harris Berry, MD (1902 - 1995). Even as a renowned gastroenterologist, Dr. Berry faced challenges in the workplace. He was the first black doctor on staff at the Michael Reese Hospital in Chicago, Illinois, in 1946, but he had to fight for an attending position there for years. He was finally named to the attending staff in 1963 and remained a senior attending physician for the rest of his medical career. He was a remarkable physician who was committed to #healthequity. #BHM2025 #WeAreMore #YouAreMore

Meet James McCune Smith (1813 - 1865). In 1837 (age 24), he became the first black American to receive a medical degree — although he had to enroll at the University of Glasgow Medical School due to discriminatory admissions practices at U.S. medical schools. He was also the first black person to own and operate a pharmacy in the United States and the first black physician to be published in U.S. medical journals. #BHM2025 #WeAreMore #YouAreMore
