Important new article led by @maxjordan.bsky.social - shows that USMLE QBanks often present patients experiencing homelessness in ways that are stereotypical & stigmatizing. This is how med students learn —> important implications for care. We need to do a lot of work / retraining here.
My latest, with @kellydoran.bsky.social: In 2 major USMLE Step 1 & 2 Qbanks, vignettes with patients experiencing homelessness overrepresented HIV, TB, & substance use, underrepresented top causes of death like CV disease & cancer, & often used stigmatizing language link.springer.com/article/10.1...

(TW: child death)
This is gutting and infuriating beyond words.
A mother in Detroit, desperate for help, reached out *three times* to the city’s homeless response team—to no avail—before her two children froze to death in a van. There was shelter space available nearby.
The system failed them, as it fails so many.
