This short companion episode to our Pediatric UTI episode dives deeper into the race correction factor present in the UTI guidelines. We speak with guest Dr. Patricia Poitevien, the Program Director of Brown’s Pediatric Residency, the current President of the Association of Pediatric Program Directors,  and Assistant Dean for the Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs at the Warren Alpert School of Medicine at Brown University. Dr. Poitevien breaks down why it is important for academic medicine to be thinking critically about race as a social construct, how race-based medicine may cause more harm than benefit, and next steps for how to move forward in a curious, engaged and evidence-based manner.
