Episode Details

This is the second episode of a three-part series on understanding and dismantling race-based medicine. We invite Drs. Nwamaka Eneanya and Jennifer Tsai to discuss the limitations and harms of race-based medicine in clinical practice. Our guests explain how we can incorporate race-conscious medicine in clinical settings, medical education, and biomedical/epidemiological research to responsibly recognize and address the harms of racial inequality.
