SWAGÊÓƵ

The duty to care for all patients is central to the health professions, but how should students and clinicians respond when encountering patients who exhibit biased or discriminatory behaviors? Students and clinicians from minority backgrounds are more likely to experience mistreatment from patients during clinical training and practice. These experiences can be profoundly painful and degrading, contribute to clinician burnout, and worsen patient outcomes.

Join Pooja Chandrashekar, MD/MBA student at Harvard Medical School and Harvard Business School for a lively discussion on addressing patient bias and eliminating discrimination in health professions learning environments.
