A BPS Approach to Diversity: A Look at Race, Gender, and Disability through a Health Humanities and Equity Lens

Session 2: Race and Medicine: Rochester Impact

We’ll explore the impact that racism has on local healthcare, treatment, research for practitioners, and patient experiences. Kevin Fiscella, M.D., M.P.H., a family physician at Jordan Health, professor in the School of Medicine & Dentistry Department of Family Medicine and Center for Community Health and Prevention, and Linda Clark, M.D., M.S., chief medical officer for Common Ground Health, and co-founder of Black Physicians Network of Greater Rochester, will share their stories providing care while navigating these challenges and how they’ve committed to making change.

The URSMD Office of Equity and Inclusion in partnership with the Division of Medical Humanities & Bioethics and the Paul M. Schyve, MD Center for Bioethics presents a new virtual series on diversity in medicine. This series will take a Biopsychosocial (BPS) approach to understand how race, gender, and disability are culturally and socially constructed identities and categories with profound impacts on the health of populations and individuals over generations.
