Medicine, Health, and Race – EWH Tea Talk

February 16, 2020 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Free

Racism in medicine, a problem with roots over 2,500 years old, is a historical continuum that continuously affects the health of African Americans and the way they receive healthcare. Racism is, at least in part, responsible for the fact that Blacks and People of Color, since enslavement, have had inadequate health care, poor health status, and poorer health outcomes.
This panel will discuss how myths about racial inferiority and physical racial differences have operated in the fields of medical practice, social work and mental health. Panelists will also explore new theories and methodologies for healthier outcomes.
