Manage episode 381193273 series 3524308
What if the cure for healthcare inequities resides in a multi-dimensional approach? We're exploring this provocative question with our esteemed guest, Dr Annabel Sowemimo, a doctor, activist and author who has dedicated her life to addressing these disparities.
We delve into the roots of systemic racism in healthcare and how it is viewed from the lens of a Black woman, clinician and scholar. Dr. Sowemimo shares her unique journey through medicine, shedding light on the impact of her non-linear education and community involvement on her understanding of healthcare.
Dr. Annabel's story is one that brings to life the reality of racial bias in medicine. Together, we grapple with 'taboo' topics, challenging the status quo and making room for uncomfortable but necessary discussions in medical education and practice.
