The Impact of Systemic Racism on Mental Health Care

Dr. Delbert Wigfall, a retired pediatric nephrologist, joins Dr. Carolyn Coker Ross to discuss the profound impact of systemic racism on healthcare access and outcomes. Drawing from his extensive career and co-authorship of "Anti-Blackness and the Stories of Authentic Allies," Dr. Wigfall shares powerful insights and real-life examples of the disparities faced by underrepresented minorities in both mental and physical healthcare, including organ transplantation.

This crucial conversation explores the historical roots of these inequities, the importance of advocacy and understanding, and the complexities of achieving true diversity and inclusion in medicine.

Key Takeaways:

  • Understanding how systemic racism creates barriers to quality healthcare for marginalized communities.
  • The significance of lived experiences in fostering empathy and challenging biases.
  • The underrepresentation of Black men in medicine and its impact.
  • The need for a nuanced understanding of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts.
