Description:
So last week we had on Jeremy Scott, an episode that I got a few emails about. It seemed to resonate with a lot of you. Today’s episode will likely be another one of those. In the evolving conversation of the covid-19 pandemic and the #blacklivesmatter movement, it is important to bring on guests that have unique perspectives in medicine. Although we do not usually have on medical students, today’s guest was a must! There is no better person to discuss social justice and racial health disparities than Adrienne Kambouris, a 5th year MD/PhD student, an army veteran, a staff sergeant, and a future surgeon.
Adrienne is a non-traditional medical student who, after high school, joined the army for 10 years, got married, had three beautiful children. She then went back to school to complete two undergraduate degrees graduating with honors in Cell and Molecular Biology and Chemistry from Augusta University. Adrienne is a Tillman Scholar and is currently doing Microbial and Immunology Research at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. She grew up in a single-parent home in inner-city Baltimore and has a passion for youth education, community service, and mentorship. Adrienne is an active premed advisor on Instagram @ssg.to.md.phd and is someone who I not only look up too, but who I use as a resource when it comes to medical education, medical research, and homeschooling.
In this conversation, we dive deep discussing her path to medicine, her training in the army, what it was like being an African American female in the army and what it is like being a scientist in a male dominated research environment. Lastly, Adrienne and I discuss how she has had to navigate prejudices of an interracial marriage and who she looks up to as mentors as she forges a path that is unique to her own. After you hear her story, you will know why I look up to her and why she is the definition of sacrifice, dedication, insight, and intelligence.

Description:
Wow, 2020, it is like the gift that keeps on giving. A year of natural disasters, pandemics, and now social reform. I am recording this the week after the start of the civil rights protests surrounding George Floyd’s murder. If you are listening after the fact, you likely already know how this turns out, but for right now, we are living through history and every day brings changes to human equality in solidarity with the movement #Blacklivesmatter.
The topic of social justice, black lives, white privilege is obviously a difficult one. The healthcare system and medical education is a prime offender in ensuring diversity on all fronts. From the lack of diversity in many schools to the social prejudice’s minority students endure in the hospitals, the term #whitecoatsforblacklives is only the start of the change. Being a white male myself, I come from a lineage guilty of perpetuating racial injustice. In thinking about today’s podcast, I felt it was important to talk to someone about this topic. I know I have a lot to learn and I know there are things I can do to ensure equality in the future. Today we brought back one of our previous podcast guests, Jeremy Scott from Episode 36, where we dive into it. Before I introduce our guest, let me start by saying that I am not an expert in diversity, and I know I will unknowingly make mistakes in discussing the topic. Dialogue is crucial for all of us to learn how to discuss these issues, so while Jeremy eloquently speaks about growing up as a black gay male in America, know that I still have some work to do in how I discuss the topic.
Jeremy Scott MS, MSIII is a third-year medical student at Ross University. Jeremy is a non-traditional medical student with a Master’s degree and experience working in retail for 5 years, as a research technician, as a lab supervisor, and as a teacher and professor. Jeremy has a passion for salsa dancing and running and is a contributor for Surviving Medicine with my favorite piece of his titled “Mental Health: Choosing to Prioritize Myself.” Jeremy was our guest back in Episode 36, where we discuss why he chose medicine. Today Professor Scott showed up. In this episode, we dive deep discussing the COVID-19 pandemic, the transition from didactic to clinical years in school, what Caribbean schools are doing during the pandemic, his experience growing up in a historically racist town, and what I can do, as a white male, to improve the lives of those within the black community.
