Thank you Commonwealth Fund and Joel Bervell for the opportunity to discuss early onset cancers, #colorectalcancer and #disparities recently on The Dose Podcast. Honored by the invite! 💙

If you're looking for eclipse glasses right now you understand why same day voter registration is important

As someone who was actively involved in ensuring these changes to eGFR, the fact that there are groups of people fighting to push back the progress we made in health equity isn't surprising, but still incredibly upsetting.

Happy National Doctors Day! The future of medicine is full of color 🙏🏾 #DoctorsDay 2024 #DoctorsDay

I get asked a lot if I have a podcast... And I do!! I host a podcast called 'The Dose' that presents fresh ideas, new perspectives and compelling conversations about where health care is headed.

Check it out everywhere you get your podcasts :)

I taught Kelly Clarkson about the biases encoded in a medical device called a “pulse oximeter!” Pulse oximeters measure your oxygen saturation levels. But studies have shown they are three times as likely to lead to overestimated oxygen sat. levels in patients with darker skin.

“DEI” is basically just a stand-in for the N word now

Thank you, Joel Bervell and The Kelly Clarkson Show, for creating awareness around transplant disparities affecting Black kidney patients. Watch this amazing segment! youtube.com/watch?v=v2-cS-…

Check out my interview with Kelly Clarkson! I discuss being the “Medical Mythbuster,” racial disparities in pulse oximeters, and how my video accelerated a patient’s kidney transplant by 5 years. Since DEI is under attack, these convos are crucial.

In medicine, there’s a prenatal blood test called an “alpha-fetoprotein test” that is recommended to every pregnant person; but it includes a race adjustment. Let’s talk about it.

Yesterday, a bill to “Ban DEI in Medicine” was introduced into the United States Congress. I created a short video about the harms that this bill would have.

DEI initiatives aren’t just about admissions. It’s about reaching out to communities that have been overlooked.

Honored to have been featured in this The New York Times article about how medical professionalism can harm residents of color. Thank you to Rachel E. Gross for the incredibly well written article!!

Today, Representative Murphy introduced a Bill in Congress to “Ban DEI in Medicine.” This isn’t just bad policy, it will actively harm and lead to worse outcomes for minority patients, and set back the little progress that has been made in medicine.
