MelaninWhiteCoats Podcast


Welcome to MelaninWhiteCoats Podcast where we entertain and enlighten you on topics relating to society, medicine and culture. We explore the world of everything FOR US, BY US and REPRESENTED BY US. This podcast explores in what ways we can elevate ourselves as individuals and in our communities so that we can achieve universal liberation from the systems in place that attempt to restrict us. Tune in with us as we continuously challenge the status quo and emerge from the ashes as curator, innovators and creatives of the world we want to see and BE!

On this episode of the Melaninwhitecoats Podcast, Dr. Jennifer Davis, who is a pediatrician and adolescent medicine specialist who has been working with children and adolescents in the South Bronx for the past 10 years and our other guest Dr. Kat Ogle, who is a board-certified Emergency Medicine physician, currently practicing at The George Washington University Hospital, Washington VA Medical Center and United Medical Center in Washington, DC  both discuss their views on the importance of physician advocacy work. They discuss how their specific experiences called for them to educate not only themselves but others about micro aggressions, institutional racism and the biases that come with being in a medical culture. They also elaborate on some of the experiences women in medicine face and how to potentially circumvent such instances into positive outcomes. Last, they discuss how empowerment has helped galvanized them toward success in their respective fields and share the importance of the movement of the Chronicles of Women in White Coats 2.
