To celebrate 75,000 podcast downloads, we are dropping a bonus episode this week!!
Dr. Italo Brown returns to the show to discuss an article entitled, “Why I Left Boston Residency Program”. The article was written by a Dr. Jonas Attilus and is available at the hyperlink. Dr. Attilus details his experiences with discrimination, micro/macro aggressions, and gaslighting while attempting to perform clinically as an intern physician at a hospital in Boston.
Dr. Brown has significant experience in advocating for and providing a supportive environment for fellow resident physicians. He shares advice and tips for how residents can protect themselves along the way. We discuss how underrepresented minorities in medicine are often isolated throughout training and are often at risk for discrimination and other adverse outcomes. We discuss data being compiled regarding the rate at which minority residents are dismissed: Diversity and Inclusion in Graduate Medical Education
