In this episode of Physician's Guide to Doctoring, Dr. Bradley Block speaks with returning guest Dr. Stephen Bradley who shares insights from his co-authored article addressing how medical institutions emphasize diversity but frequently neglect true inclusion. Drawing from personal experiences including decisions about personal grooming to conform to professional expectations and those of colleagues, Dr. Bradley explores the subtle and overt pressures underrepresented physicians face to fit in.The conversation covers actionable strategies to foster inclusive environments, the "minority tax" in medicine, and how healthcare organizations can support their diverse workforce beyond recruitment. Whether you're a medical student, physician, or healthcare leader, this episode offers thought-provoking perspectives on creating a more inclusive medical community.Three Actionable Takeaways:Move Beyond Metrics: Diversity in numbers isn't enough—institutions must foster environments where underrepresented groups feel valued and authentically included.Understand the "Minority Tax": Recognize and address the added burden placed on minority physicians to mentor, advocate, and represent, often without institutional support.Create Inclusive Policies: Small but meaningful changes, like flexible grooming and dress codes, recognizing diverse holidays, and improving communication, can significantly enhance workplace inclusivity.About Guest:Dr. Steven Bradley is a board-certified anesthesiologist and medical ethicist dedicated to mentorship and enhancing diversity in healthcare.

“I thought that education and medicine was a pathway for me to not only get out of my small town but to also make a huge impact somewhere in the world,” says Jermaine Blakely, a third-year medical student at Howard University College of Medicine. But Blakely didn't wait for medical school to start making a difference. While an undergrad at Morehouse College, he created a program that paired students with local churches to help the homeless, as well as women who were victims of domestic violence. Although he was pre-med at Morehouse, his path to medical school included detours to get a Masters in Health Policy and Management at NYU and several years working in healthcare IT at hospitals in the San Francisco Bay area, giving him a broader perspective than his younger classmates on the opportunities before them. “I think we're asking the wrong question to medical students. Instead of asking what they want to specialize in, we should ask ‘what do you want to do with your medical degree' because I think your degree should be a passport to many different career paths.” Possibilities for Blakely include creating a medical device company, joining a venture capital firm or maybe falling in love with a specialty and having a clinically-focused career. Regardless, there's little doubt we will be hearing about his positive impact in the years ahead.

Deaths resulting from interactions with the US criminal legal system are a public health emergency, but the scope of this issue is intentionally ignored by the very systems that are supposed to be tracking these fatalities. We don't know how many people die in custody each year, whether in an encounter with police on the street, during transport, or while in jails, prisons, or detention centers. In order to make a real difference and address this human rights problem, researchers and policy makers need reliable data. Our guest in this episode is one of the authors of Death in Custody: How America Ignores the Truth and What We Can Do About It. Dr. Roger Mitchell Jr is a professor and chair of pathology at the Howard University College of Medicine.

In this episode of our “Inside Health Care” podcast, we hear two interviews that each demonstrate how close we are to solving the challenges of health disparities and digital transformation. Our first interview finds a real-life, “Last Mile” solution that will bring historically under-served populations to the health care services they need and deserve. Our second interview reveals how improved efficiencies in digitalization actually make it easier to add even more data – and more data crunching – into the mix. PHIT4DC stands for the Public Health Informatics and Technology for the District of Columbia Workforce Diversification Program. PHIT4DC brings together public health programs at two HBCUs—historically Black Colleges and Universities—namely, the University of the District of Columbia and Howard University. Together, these esteemed institutions train professionals from historically under-served neighborhoods in 21st-century IT knowledge and skills so they can return to their neighborhoods and give back to their communities.PHIT4DC trains PCMH professionals in order to send them to work in and support their hometown communities and neighborhoods. It's a powerful solution for bridging the gap in health equity provision. And it's probably possible to set up this model in any U.S. city. But, as you can imagine, it's no small feat.

In her directorship role, she helps the College advance its health care workforce diversification mission and student academic success initiatives. She is published in the areas of minority health, health disparities, health outcomes research and workforce diversification. Hannah George is a health care consultant with years of service across the health care industry.

Hannah is certified in Project Management, is a Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality (CPHQ) and a Certified Professional in Patient Safety (CPPS).Digitalization ensures the safe and efficient transfer and parsing of health care data between providers. Patients benefit, clinics benefit, clinicians can spend more time with patients. And improvements in data transfer and parsing reveal more population data than ever before, which uncovers gaps in health equity. And with that population data, researchers can start to reverse deficiencies and ensure better health care for all.Josh Hetler is Chief Operations Officer at DataLink and an expert in the potential revelations of supplemental data. Josh has over a decade of experience developing software products for advancing value-based health care.

We delve into the effects of the war on drugs, which contributed to the alarming increase in incarceration rates in our country. Did you know that between 1970 and the next 40 years, there was a staggering 400% increase in incarceration?One of the key topics discussed is the Clinton crime bill, enacted in 1994, which not only escalated the incarceration rates but also removed Pell Grants for incarcerated individuals who wished to pursue education. Through his experiences, Dr. Andrisse emphasizes the need for a more holistic approach to the justice system, one that involves the community and takes into account the transformative power of education and support.Dr. Andrisse's organization, From Prison Cells to PhD, is at the forefront of providing opportunities to incarcerated individuals through their innovative program called Prison to Professional Scholars. We explore the challenges faced during the transition period from prison to civilian life and the importance of community organizations like this in providing guidance and support.We also touch upon the power of mentorship and its significant impact on an individual's transformation. Dr. Andrisse shares personal anecdotes about his mentor, who believed in him even during his darkest moments. Tragically, he lost this mentor before fully comprehending the depth of his message - "It is never too late to do good."

On this episode of The Black Futurist podcast, host Bryndan D. Moore is joined by two remarkable individuals who are shedding light on a grave societal matter that demands our attention: Dr. Roger Mitchell Jr. and Dr. Jay Aronson. The pair are focused on quantifying and minimizing deaths that occur within the US criminal legal system—a haunting public health emergency that often remains hidden from public scrutiny. As the authors of the groundbreaking book "Death in Custody: How America Ignores the Truth and What We Can Do about It," and the hosts of the companion podcast "Official Ignorance," (produced by Bryndan D. Moore for Hip Hop Caucus) Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Aronson bring invaluable insights and storytelling to the forefront.

Dr. Aronson, founder and director of the Center for Human Rights Science at Carnegie Mellon University, and an esteemed professor in the Department of History, contributes his deep understanding of the complex dynamics between science, law, and social justice. The problem, as discussed in this episode, is staggering: a dire lack of reliable data surrounding deaths that occur during interactions with the criminal legal system, whether in police encounters, during transportation, or within detention facilities. The intentional disregard of this issue by the very institutions tasked with oversight magnifies the urgency for change. Join us as Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Aronson passionately articulate their motivations behind their powerful collaborative project, detailing their practical and attainable solutions for accurate data collection and comprehensive investigation into these tragic incidents. Their compelling insights pave the way for a transformed future—one where transparency, accountability, and human rights take center stage.
