In this episode Dr. Hassink is joined by Dr. Joe Wright, the Chief Health Equity Officer for the University of Maryland, a current member of the Board of Directors for the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the Chair of the AAP Board’s Committee on Equity. Dr Wright shares some highlights from the new AAP policy statement on eliminated race-based medicine, and provides ways pediatricians can continue to elevate such topics within their practice, to help move the needle towards equity in healthcare for all children.
