S1 E10: White Coat and Black Skin... My Skin Does not Define my Abilities

from Public Health Me · host Amber Johnson, MPH

This episode focuses on the plight that black physicians' face in America, from lack of diversity and inclusion to microagressions. This episode features special guest, Dr. Fenwa Famakinwa Milhouse, a female African American, fellowship-trained and board certified urologist. Dr. Milhouse practices at Dupage Medical Group (the largest private practice group in the Illinois) as the female pelvic floor surgeon. Originally born in Nigeria, her family immigrated to the US when she was a young child. She grew up in Texas and ended up at the University of Texas at Houston for medical school. She is passionate about introducing young people to urology and mentoring underrepresented minorities pursuing medicine. Dr. Milhouse provides her own personal experiences as a black female urologist in a male dominated specialty and her crusade to break barriers in medicine for future black physicians.
