Welcome to our third bonus episode of Our MBC Life.  Our team is working on Season 2 – to be launched in a few short weeks on March 1 – and so we wanted to share some of our favorite episodes from Season 1.  This episode is certainly one of those all-time favs! With us are the outstanding Dr. Tiffany Avery, Dr. Zanetta Lamar, and Dr. Karen Winkfield who have developed their own podcast called the 3 Black Docs.  These incredible women give their professional take on racial disparities in healthcare and addressing structural barriers that lead to disparities in treatments and outcomes. These issues need to be continually raised every time treatment is being discussed, clinical trials are designed, and every conversation between patient and doctor.  Not just this month.  Not just during the month of October.  But every day of every month.  We thank the 3 Black Docs for all that they do to help move these important conversations out of in front.  Dr. Karen Winkfield has been recently promoted to be the Executive Director at Meharry-Vanderbilt Alliance.  Watch for the special 3 Black Docs episodes later this week on the legacy of Henrietta Lacks.  You may check out our blog and episode notes, www.ourmbclife.org.  We are also found on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @ourmbclife
