Happy new year! We kick off 2019 with a conversation about social justice, implicit bias, social determinants of health, and patient advocacy with the course director of our Social Justice elective, Dr. Darlene Robinson, and third year medical student Bre Tracey. We talk about what advocacy means, why it's so important for us as clinicians, and where to begin if the endeavor feels too overwhelming at first.
