.@ermiwe I think you're right, there is a traumatic quality to what people are experiencing and I think we can turn to lessons from trauma-informed care to guide interventions. #CFASChat

Thanks Atul, I will definitely check him out! Simply acknowledging that students of color face greater challenges on a daily basis is an important place to start. #CFASChat

I think you are right but older folks are adapting quickly! You should see what my 90 year-old dad can do now when he has to!!

Q4. How can medical schools better support the well-being of medical students of color? #CFASChat

.@mmabaza This was so stressful for so many before the pandemic; it feels like the challenges have grown so much. Students will all need support during this process!!

.@yoshimianzai So important to stay connected to those we love and extra effort may be needed to do so! Worth that effort though! #CFASChat

.@GLBDallaghan, information flow is so important as is creating safe spaces for people to express their worries and needs. #CFASChat

Q3. What are the greatest sources of worry med students have right now and what can be done to address these? #cfaschat

One thing I think we can do is help people develop skills to manage worry; this is not something most people are taught. The goal isn't too eliminate it, just feel some sense of control over it.

.@LilyBelfi I I worry about our mom's as the pandemic stretches on. So much pressure, we need to do our best collectively to support them, not just with words but with action. #CFASChat

So true, so much uncertainty for so many right now.

So happy to be here with you Mona!

Looking forward to my first tweet chat!
