Data about the compositional diversity of Canadian medical schools are limited. However, the few studies available report a common observation: Black medical students are disproportionately underrepresented compared with other minority groups. 1,2 In 2018, Khan and colleagues surveyed medical students at 14 English-speaking Canadian medical schools. 1 Among the 1388 students who responded (response rate of 16.6%), only 1.7% selfidentified as Black in contrast to 6.4% of the Canadian Census population. 2,3 In their qualitative study on underrepresented Black, Hispanic and Native American residents from 21 residency programs, Osseo-Asare and colleagues describe that minority trainees face pervasive discrimination, experience feelings of "otherness" and lack in mentors. 4 Participants also describe being burdened with promoting diversity in their institutions, often at the expense of traditional scholarly work more highly esteemed in academia -a phenomenon coined the "minority tax" in prior literature. 5,6 In 1 longitudinal study on discrimination set in an undisclosed Canadian medical faculty, Black and other ethnic minority medical students facing daily microaggressions from peers often did not report instances of discrimination owing to fears of having their claims dismissed or lacking access to appropriate institutional support. 7 The limited data on Black students' experiences do not mean that disparities, discrimination and systemic exclusion are absent from Canadian medical faculties. 8,9 Henry and colleagues' landmark study on the experiences of racialized faculty in Canadian academia highlighted that universities reproduce
