About Deep Cuts: Exploring Equity in Surgery
From the publisher's feed
What conversations happen in and outside of the operating room, between surgeons, that patients don't often hear? What can be done to minimize the number of individuals who fall through the cracks of the U.S. healthcare system, so they can get the surgical care they need?
As a surgery resident and public health advocate, Dr. Anthony Douglas has seen the ways biases limit access for patients, leading to poor health outcomes, especially for the most vulnerable in one's communities. Deep Cuts, the first podcast from The University of Chicago Department of Surgery, addresses these questions while exploring why equity and community-focused care matter in surgery, and how these topics improve outcomes for the patients and communities served not only on the South Side of Chicago, but also across the United States of America.
