@indysahota ~1 out of 6 Canadian medical students in the early 2000 had a physician parent. Doubt it's changed much. (For comparison, general population would be < 1%.) https://t.co/6UHHRp2Dq1
We studied this in Canada in the early 2000s but used on a one-off survey as opposed to routine data collection through @AFMC_e https://t.co/l42hCYHYh6
Great example in Canadian healthcare as per pivotal paper by @IrfanDhalla and colleagues on the income of the families of medical students: https://t.co/KYIi9ZvhgV
We showed that there were very few Black and Indigenous medical students. Woeful underrepresentation, unlikely to create a medical workforce to best serve Canada’s population (see @jddneary thread). How much farther ahead are we two decades down the road?
I remember a 2002 article (https://t.co/yOQS339aWI) that showed that only about 15% of Canadian med students came from homes with a household income >40k, compared with about 40% of all Canadians (h/t @IrfanDhalla). Almost half came from families in the

Why not start with properly funding lower education for low SES individuals, thus giving them a chance to even make it to med school? Coming from a poor background I can't say I'd even have considered it when I was making plans in grade 12. I can't even a
