“The message of the AMA is patience and health over politics. We’ve stressed for all elected officials to allow the science and public health officials to guide us through this pandemic.”
And so, Harris, who was voted into the position by the AMA’s House of Delegates, understands her performance on the job could determine the chances of another African American woman reaching the same plateau. So it’s simple: She can’t mess up. “Diversity and inclusion are important in advancing equity,” said Maybank, who has worked alongside Harris for a year. “But diversity without power can feel challenging and exhausting and not meaningful to advancing equity in the long run. So, more of a foundational role, having structure and policy, culture, programs and in all that we do have models that are shifting the lines toward equity.”
“I didn’t meet my first in-the-flesh inspiration until I was in med school,” she said. “I encountered barriers along my 25-year journey that African American women do. Med school was very lonely for me. I was the only African American. It wasn’t much different during my residency.
