In this week’s episode the Drs discuss:

• How social determinants impact health: transportation, healthcare access, green spaces, housing, and climate change.
• Their experience as black physicians and how their gender and race plays a role in their voice getting suppressed at work being.
• The conflicting feeling of having the opportunity to go to schools outside of their home city, not living in the area, and still caring for black people.
