In the wake of yet another episode of police brutality and misconduct ending in death for the victim, I am reviewing this article published in the AMA journal of ethics. Dr. Alden Landry, an Assistant Professor and Emergency Medicine physician was the primary author for this piece. With all of the headlines and events of the last year, there are clearly several widespread issues that need to be dealt with. These issues have significant repercussions on the lives of Black and Brown Americans. These two issues, of course, are the COVID-19 pandemic and the rampant pandemic of police brutality.
After identifying the problems, how can we develop interventions to stop them. It is incumbent upon the system that produces physicians and other healthcare providers to incorporate healthcare disparities and police brutality into its education model. This paper goes on to provide eight recommendations that affect both the educator and the learner.
How Should Health Professional Education Respond to Widespread Racial and Ethnic Health Inequity and Police Brutality? -JAMA Ethics February 2021
TBDPis a volunteer passion project with the goal of inspiring all who listen. In-house music and audio production, so any ideas for improvements or suggestions for future guests are welcome. It is my hope that generating discussions on Clinical Medical Ethics and Culturally Competent Care will have a positive impact on the lives of patients from all demographics.
