HEALing Connections: A Look at Black Medical Care

Congratulations on a great first event this semester! Today's event included a documentary and a panel discussion on the experiences of African American health care. The panel participants touched on a number of topics including:

  • Personal experiences
  • How to build a trusting patient-physician relationship
  • Challenges the patient and doctor may encounter
  • Systemic vs. grassroots changes and goals in health care
  • Creating awareness
  • Developing personal awareness of one's one biases and self education on diversity concerns

Please leave your thoughts/comments!
