Friday, July 23, 2021, 12:00 AM - Monday, July 22, 2024, 11:59 PM

Internet Enduring Material Sponsored by Stanford University School of Humanities and Sciences. Presented by the Program in Science, Technology and Society.

This session includes a didactic lecture followed by Q&A and interaction between the panel of presenters. The session addresses racial disparities in medical education and in healthcare. The presenters discuss the impact of social determinants of health on people of color and other minorities. Other topics will include the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on minorities and how social determinants of health are at the core of the high rates of hospitalizations and death for the black and brown populations. Medical education in this country has been very limited for people of color and the impact of the 1910 Flexner report is addressed. Unconscious bias is addressed for people of color as well as other minorities including women and the LGBTQ community.
