This week is a journal club. This article “Code-Switching As An Emergency Medicine Survival Tactic” was written by Dr. Italo Brown. He is an Emergency Medicine Physician practicing in California. This article breaks down the concept of “Code-Switching”. We all know it happens and it is the topic of many twitter threads and memes. Dr. Brown highlights the toxicity behind this learned survival skill. He provides several examples of how this behavior affects the productivity and psyche of underrepresented minority physicians.
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.
