Description
Ethnic/racial and gender disparities remain deep-rooted in medicine and rheumatology today. In this episode and in what is one of the most pertinent topics of our times, we discuss and highlight the disproportionate burden of rheumatic diseases and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in ethnic minorities and the gender disparities observed in rheumatology care before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. How can rheumatologists and rheumatology professionals, in coalition with the patient community, address the issue of potential bias and the existing health disparities? Our featured guests are Candace H. Feldman, MD, MPH, ScD and Rosalind Ramsey-Goldman, MD, DrPH, the authors of a recent article published in Arthritis and Rheumatology on the urgent action needed with regard to the widening disparities in patients with rheumatic diseases during COVID-19.
