What medicine should be all about

Rez 2 Med was created to increase the representation of Native Americans in the Medical Field by med students Jasmine Curry, Diné, Tomoko Wilson, Diné, and Maliyan Bennette, Penobscot. They created the social media accounts to share their medical school experience and to inform people about what they can do to stay healthy. Curry says her issues with med school curriculum stem from associating health disparities with certain racial groups without historical context. She says Natives are not genetically predisposed.
