Around 300 physicians and other health care workers knelt in a moment of silence in front of Sterling Hall of Medicine on Friday at a White Coats for Black Lives demonstration. Psychiatry resident Amanda Calhoun ’11 told the crowd that the rally was about more than police killings, urging doctors to pay attention to systemic racism in health care. “All of your black patients experience racism,” Calhoun said. “If they have not told you, it is because they do not trust you.”
