Can we expect patients to trust modern medicine before addressing racial disparities in research and diagnoses?

Dr. Carmen Black, Yale School of Medicine Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Director of Social Justice and Health Equity Education, Adult Psychiatry joins this episode of The Menninger Clinic’s Mind Dive podcast. This conversation with hosts Dr. Kerry Horrell and Dr. Bob Boland explores how clinicians can make a meaningful impact while still facing centuries of racial disparities that are sometimes difficult to spot in daily clinical practice.

Dive in to hear approachable steps clinicians of any type can take to address inequity and racial bias in mental health care.

“We are more powerful to delivery equity than we can image because the disparities are so great,” said Dr. Black. “It starts with being able to acknowledge it in real time.”

Her research interests focus on promoting racial diversity within academic medicine and addressing influences on poor patient care, specifically racial and mental health discrimination.
