Whether in healthcare, education, finance, or any other field, it is so important to speak up about and correct any inequity. Question practices that stem from myths. I look forward to reading this book!

"Psychological Safety and Self-care"!!! Collectively, we are learning how to shake off the tendency to carry this burden that was truly never ours to solve because we didn't break it! Excellent post and video! I cannot wait to read your chapter, Nicole D. Vick, EdD(c), MPH, CHES. Stay blessed, my fellow anthologist!!!

Race-Based Medicine: The underpinnings of inequitable care. Thanks and gratitude to Uché Blackstock, MD for bringing this issue to light for public awareness. Quoting from a terrific NIH article, (link below), "medicine is not a stand-alone institution immune to racial inequities, but rather is an institution of structural racism. A pervasive example of this participation is race-based medicine, the system by which research characterizing race as an essential, biological variable, translates into clinical practice, leading to inequitable care." Furthermore, many current structures and teaching practices perpetuate the use of these practices. If you work in health care, engage in health care, or have a curious mind, please take the time to read the article attached and to listen to the insights provided by Dr. Blackstock. Let's work together to improve equitable health care for everyone. NIH National Library of Medicine https://lnkd.in/g6v48dWG
