Biographical / historical:

Duke Med for Social Justice (DMSJ), a Duke University School of Medicine student group, was created in 2017. The group is comprised of medical students interested in promoting social justice and racial equity within the Durham and Duke communities through action, education, and dialogue. DMSJ has engaged in grassroots organizing through coordinated voter registration efforts, phone banking events, and coordinating with medical students' attendance at protests on campus, in Raleigh, and in Washington, D.C. DMSJ works to increase advocacy within the medical school through events on the fundamentals of policymaking and lobbying. At Duke, DMSJ advocates for institutional change, such as reevaluating the use of race in medical decision making. Other topics of focus include reproductive rights, environmental justice, COVID-19 vaccine equity, and patient rights within the criminal justice system.
