If you Google “Doctors + Racism”, you’ll discover a multitude of research studies, personal accounts, and news stories that highlight how implicit bias, systematic racism, and healthcare inequities manifest in a black person’s healthcare outcomes. After all, doctors are not immune to their own understanding or experiences and opinions on race in America… they are people on a journey just like the rest of us. And we must acknowledge, that our healthcare system is inequitably structured such that the care we receive is based on numerous factors that have long histories tied to the gatekeeping and racist treatment and even experimentation on black people.
Wellness and sexual health include much more than abortion rights and birth control mandates. Wellness and sexual health are at the center of how to improve our society.  This requires us to not only address and eliminate implicit bias in individual doctors but to also address and eliminate the hurdles present in the lives of those living at the margins.
