Racism in Healthcare

This discussion was moderated by Dr. Marie Angele Theard. She is a prominent neuro-anesthesiologist and the Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine at OHSU.

For this discussion, members read a study on opioid prescriptions for pediatric patients and an article written by Dr. Theard called "The Pandemic of Racism" which provides great insight into the dangers of racism in healthcare.

Below, we have attached links to the research study, Dr. Theard's article, a recording of our discussion via Zoom, and brief summary of the discussion.
