On this Equity Actions episode of Talking Pediatrics, guest host James Burroughs, VP, Chief Diversity Officer, interviews Dr. Steve Nelson, pediatric hematologist and director of Children's Sickle Cell program on what it means to be a white doctor advocating for the elimination of racism in medicine. Listen Dr. Nelson's journey of discovering and understanding white privilege and systemic racism ("the racial narratives that wash over all of us"), and how this discovery shaped both his medical practice and his own sense of identity. Learn from Dr. Nelson how to sit with the discomfort of whiteness and racial oppression, discover our curiosity and shared humanity and then move forward with tools and actions to integrate into your pediatric practice that advance health equity and improve health outcomes for all of our patients.
