I think to be able to have a clinical practice and to be able to say I think I'm serving the community in which I live is so meaningful and so wonderful, and something that I think we should be really going for.
Racism isn't just a societal issue; it deeply affects mental health care too. In this episode of 'Quick Takes', Dr. David Gratzer sits down with Drs. Amy Gajaria and Saadia Sediqzadah to tackle the challenging but crucial topic of race and racism in mental health care. With a runtime of 30 minutes, this episode offers a comprehensive look at how race impacts patient care and what clinicians can do to address it effectively.
From the importance of diversity in mentorship and leadership to understanding the historical hesitancy that Black, Indigenous, and other people of color have towards the medical system, this conversation is packed with actionable insights. You'll also hear about the informal aspects of mentorship, the pearls for teaching and learning, and the interactions with police that racialized patients often face. The episode doesn't shy away from tough topics but instead provides a roadmap for healthcare providers to navigate these issues thoughtfully.
Whether it's practicing discussions about race outside the clinical setting or diversifying your friend groups and media consumption, Drs. Gajaria and Sediqzadah offer practical advice that can make a real difference. This episode is a must-listen for any physician looking to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in their practice.
