404 Error – Broken Link Explanation
On August 5 we published a letter by Dr. Adebola Obayan, entitled “My Experience with Racial Discrimination in Residency.”
Unfortunately, our internal review process was not followed when we posted Dr. Obayan’s letter. Because the letter was not properly vetted, we published some allegations without knowledge of their truth or falsity. The Royal College is not in a position to investigate anybody’s allegations, and we therefore removed the letter as soon as we recognized our mistake.
We remain committed to listening to all of our members’ voices in order to inform a strategy that will address systemic racism issues. We apologize that our error did not create a safe space where all voices could contribute to the dialogue needed for learning and moving forward.
