The American Medical Association this week released a statement from CEO Dr. James L. Madara acknowledging the organization s history of racism, especially against Black physicians. Honest self-examination is a critically important step to better understanding ourselves, to heal old wounds, and to take corrective actions to address ongoing societal harms, said Madara, who also announced that the organization would be removing the bust and display of its commonly recognized founder, Dr. Nathan Davis, from public view at its headquarters in Chicago.
WHY IT MATTERS
Madara s comments followed remarks from past AMA president Dr. Patrice A. Harris this past week about the organization s renewed efforts to confront the root causes of health inequities and strive for a more just medical system.
