Discussing the Experiences Black Patients in the Medical Setting with Tamorah Lewis

Decolonizing Science

In this episode I speak with Tamorah Lewis, a black neonatal pharmacologist about the "systematic de-prioritization" of black patients as she calls it. We discuss how racism ties to the health of black populations, specifically black mothers and children in this country. We also discuss why there is sometimes push back in conversations about racism in medicine, and how this is not only harmful, but preventable once we learn to be committed to antiracism through education and greater understanding of each other.
