(soft music)

00:02.466 --> 00:03.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
- Why do we need to talk
about race in medicine?

00:03.633 --> 00:05.100 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
- Why talk about race?

00:05.100 --> 00:06.600 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
- That's a great question.

00:06.600 --> 00:08.600 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
- It's really important
to talk about race.

00:08.600 --> 00:10.033 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
- How can we not?

00:10.033 --> 00:12.833 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
- Race and racism are critical
determinants of health.

00:12.833 --> 00:15.400 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
- Racism directly
impacts the care

00:15.400 --> 00:16.866 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
that our patients receive.

00:16.866 --> 00:19.600 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
- Race is sort of the
fable of how we've created

00:19.600 --> 00:21.166 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
who has and who doesn't have.

00:21.166 --> 00:22.733 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
- Probably the biggest
reason that I see

00:22.733 --> 00:25.566 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
is just all the
disparities in healthcare.

00:25.566 --> 00:29.766 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
- The mission of medicine
is to provide medical care

00:29.766 --> 00:32.966 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
for everyone, no matter what
the lottery of their birth is.

00:32.966 --> 00:35.166 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
- If we're really about
health, then we have to pay

00:35.166 --> 00:36.733 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
attention to the whole person.

00:36.733 --> 00:41.133 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
- As a cis white woman, I
have to name how I show up

00:41.133 --> 00:44.233 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
in the world in
relationship to my patients

00:44.233 --> 00:45.966 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
who don't have the
same experience.

00:45.966 --> 00:48.066 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
- We wouldn't do it if we
didn't do it by intention.

00:48.066 --> 00:51.333 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
- We need everyone's
perspective to come together.

00:51.333 --> 00:55.233 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
- This country was built on
the backs of enslaved people,

00:55.233 --> 00:59.066 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
and we are still dealing
with all of the repercussions

00:59.066 --> 01:00.533 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
and all of the trauma.

01:00.533 --> 01:03.533 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
- Medicine actually hasn't
traditionally done a great job

01:03.533 --> 01:06.500 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
of understanding people's
experience of race

01:06.500 --> 01:08.300 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
in a really racialized society.

01:08.300 --> 01:10.133 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
- It is important
to call it out.

01:10.133 --> 01:11.966 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
- We need patients
to be able to feel

01:11.966 --> 01:13.800 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
a connection with
their physicians.

01:13.800 --> 01:15.566 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
- It's not just who someone is,

01:15.566 --> 01:17.200 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
but it's how they're
treated by others

01:17.200 --> 01:18.933 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
in their experience
in the world.

01:18.933 --> 01:20.600 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
- There needs to
be a safe space.
