In our fourth episode, we sit down with third-year Simi Onanuga, the co-founder of the MedSchool Racism Instagram page, and discuss what has become a major phenomenon of ICSM over the past year. The page (which you can find here: https://www.instagram.com/medschool_racism/?hl=en) has gained thousands of followers and features deeply insightful accounts of discrimination in clinical healthcare settings. Simi tells us all about why the page was founded, how it has grown, and how this campaign is only going to grow bigger in times to come.
