Description
There is ample evidence that race can be a major factor in health outcomes. But racial and ethnic minorities are underrepresented in clinical and biomedical research. In this series, Dr. Esteban Burchard talks about the consequences of this underrepresentation and what does it mean for equity in research and medicine. He also explains how race is used by your doctor to make critical decisions about your health, and discusses what happens if you don’t fit neatly in one racial box, and how does this impact the medical treatment. Finally, Burchard discusses how scientific breakthroughs often come when problems are approached from different perspectives, and the importance of improving diversity and inclusion in science.
