Abstract
ABSTRACT This article discusses the origin of @FirstGenDocs, a virtual platform with a mission to affirm the experiences, amplify the voices, and celebrate the brilliance of current and aspiring first-generation doctoral students and doctors. What began as a Twitter chat between 10 participants grew into a virtual community of 9000+ users. In this article, we detail the origins of this platform, the gap this platform seeks to fill, as well as the ways the co-founders, Drs. Lamesha C. Brown, Raven K. Cokley, and Jason K. Wallace, continue to cultivate this scholarly community through online engagement.
本文讨论了@FirstGenDocs的起源,这是一个虚拟平台,其使命是肯定经验,放大声音,并庆祝当前和有抱负的第一代博士生和医生的辉煌。最初只有10个人在Twitter上聊天,后来发展成为一个拥有9000多名用户的虚拟社区。在本文中,我们详细介绍了这个平台的起源,这个平台试图填补的空白,以及联合创始人dr。Lamesha C. Brown, Raven K. Cokley和Jason K. Wallace继续通过在线参与培养这个学术社区。
