Seeking out opportunities to learn about anti-racism and sharing them with colleagues can help create a clinic space that is more accessible and inviting for racialized patients.
How do colonial histories continue to shape access to healthcare, especially for racialized communities? In this episode of 'Addiction Practice Pod', Dr. Robert Fox and David Ball tackle this pressing issue alongside Dr. Su-Ming Kwok. They dive into the intersection of race, ethnicity, and substance use, shedding light on the unique challenges faced by marginalized groups.
From the lingering effects of colonialism to the internalized stigma that hinders seeking help, this conversation is both eye-opening and essential for any healthcare provider. Dr. Kwok offers valuable insights into creating a clinic environment that feels safe and inclusive for everyone. One major takeaway is the need for practitioners to actively engage in anti-racism education and share these learnings with colleagues. By doing so, they can help dismantle barriers and foster a more welcoming space for all patients.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone committed to improving substance use care through a lens of equity and inclusion.
