MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL (5/29/2024) — Academic departments in the health sciences frequently struggle to balance their core missions — such as care, education and research — finding they can clash or compete instead of working well together.
All of us have them — biases and prejudices informed by our lived experiences. Physicians and other health care workers are no different. Yet far too often, those of us in health care fail to recognize our biases and, when baked into organizational policies and practices that have been historically and largely defined by privileged white people (and usually men), the result can be serious and even deadly to the patients we serve.
