This week’s episode features another journal club. It covers the article entitled: “Minority Tax Reform — Avoiding Overtaxing Minorities When We Need Them Most” which appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine. The article was written by Theresa Williamson, M.D., C. Rory Goodwin, M.D., Ph.D., and Peter A. Ubel, M.D.
This article defines and discusses the “minority tax” that is levied so frequently towards minority academic clinicians. This minority tax leads to an increased work load, increased stress and decreased promotion rates. It likely contributes to a high attrition rate of minority physicians from academic medicine.
We hope you enjoy this Journal Club edition of Ethically Sourced. In the future, we will feature additional articles that are relevant to our mission. We hope that generating discussions on Clinical Medical Ethics and Culturally Competent Care will have a positive impact on the lives of disenfranchised patients.
