"Medicine not made for us": Racism in Medicine

"I can't breathe:" a phrase every healthcare worker knows as a call to action. In the wake of the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Rayshard Brooks, and Ahmaud Arbery, part of that call to action for medical professionals and students includes acknowledging racism and inequity within our own profession's past and present. For our first episode on Racism in Medicine, Ashley Scott, MD/PhD student at UWSMPH and Student National Medical Association representative, shares her experience as a Black woman in academic medicine and her thoughts on how to redefine who shapes and benefits from our medical systems.
