Unmasking Bias: How Our Healthcare System Perpetuates Inequity with Dean Dayna Bowen Matthew
Manage episode 503733231 series 2858345
Dean Dayna Bowen Matthew, legal scholar, author, and Dean of The George Washington University Law School, delivers a compelling examination of how bias, both implicit and structural, continues to shape health outcomes in America. Drawing on decades of work at the intersection of civil rights and healthcare, she explains how inequities in housing, education, and employment are compounded by biases in medical decision-making, access, and policy enforcement.
From the legacy of redlining to the subtle ways patient care can be influenced by race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status, Dean Matthew makes the case that health equity cannot be achieved without confronting bias head-on. This episode is a call to action for healthcare providers, policymakers, and community leaders to recognize their role in dismantling these barriers and to commit to systemic change. As our Season 3 opener, it sets the tone for a series dedicated to breaking down inequity at its roots.
