Special Diversity and Inclusivity Statement from NAME

The National Association of Medical Examiners strongly denounces injustice and racism in all forms.  Forensic pathologists are committed to truth, mutual respect for all, listening objectively and understanding between people.  Historically, forensic pathologists have stood for truth in Attica, and denounced genocides and many other wrongs flamed by hate and discrimination.  We publicly condemn racism, injustice, and discrimination of any kind.  We are appalled at the deaths of George Floyd and others before him, murdered and missing indigenous women, attacks on LGBQT and any attack, injustice or discrimination based on race, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, religious or spiritual beliefs, appearance or any other human condition or choice.  We stand united against these terrible injustices. As forensic pathologists and physicians, we are committed to the betterment of humanity, and respect for all people regardless of race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, religious affiliation, place of birth or economic standing.
