1
00:00:01,433 --> 00:00:01,566
(soft music)

2
00:00:02,466 --> 00:00:03,633
- Why do we need to talk 
about race in medicine?

3
00:00:03,633 --> 00:00:05,100
- Why talk about race?

4
00:00:05,100 --> 00:00:06,600
- That's a great question.

5
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,600
- It's really important 
to talk about race.

6
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,033
- How can we not?

7
00:00:10,033 --> 00:00:12,833
- Race and racism are critical 
determinants of health.

8
00:00:12,833 --> 00:00:15,400
- Racism directly 
impacts the care

9
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:16,866
that our patients receive.

10
00:00:16,866 --> 00:00:19,600
- Race is sort of the 
fable of how we've created

11
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,166
who has and who doesn't have.

12
00:00:21,166 --> 00:00:22,733
- Probably the biggest 
reason that I see

13
00:00:22,733 --> 00:00:25,566
is just all the 
disparities in healthcare.

14
00:00:25,566 --> 00:00:29,766
- The mission of medicine 
is to provide medical care

15
00:00:29,766 --> 00:00:32,966
for everyone, no matter what 
the lottery of their birth is.

16
00:00:32,966 --> 00:00:35,166
- If we're really about 
health, then we have to pay

17
00:00:35,166 --> 00:00:36,733
attention to the whole person.

18
00:00:36,733 --> 00:00:41,133
- As a cis white woman, I 
have to name how I show up

19
00:00:41,133 --> 00:00:44,233
in the world in 
relationship to my patients

20
00:00:44,233 --> 00:00:45,966
who don't have the 
same experience.

21
00:00:45,966 --> 00:00:48,066
- We wouldn't do it if we 
didn't do it by intention.

22
00:00:48,066 --> 00:00:51,333
- We need everyone's 
perspective to come together.

23
00:00:51,333 --> 00:00:55,233
- This country was built on 
the backs of enslaved people,

24
00:00:55,233 --> 00:00:59,066
and we are still dealing 
with all of the repercussions

25
00:00:59,066 --> 00:01:00,533
and all of the trauma.

26
00:01:00,533 --> 00:01:03,533
- Medicine actually hasn't 
traditionally done a great job

27
00:01:03,533 --> 00:01:06,500
of understanding people's 
experience of race

28
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:08,300
in a really racialized society.

29
00:01:08,300 --> 00:01:10,133
- It is important 
to call it out.

30
00:01:10,133 --> 00:01:11,966
- We need patients 
to be able to feel

31
00:01:11,966 --> 00:01:13,800
a connection with 
their physicians.

32
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,566
- It's not just who someone is,

33
00:01:15,566 --> 00:01:17,200
but it's how they're 
treated by others

34
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,933
in their experience 
in the world.

35
00:01:18,933 --> 00:01:20,600
- There needs to 
be a safe space.
