Impact Of Racism On Marginalized Patients & Providers – Gonzalo Gonzalez, DNP, APRN, NP-C
Listen to Amica Simmons-Yon, PharmD, PhD and Alyssa Peckham, PharmD, BCPP as they spill the tea on the impact of racism in the mental healthcare community with special guest, Dr. Gonzalo Gonzalez. As we know, the effects of racism are not confined to patients alone--but also impacts mental health professionals and researchers. During this episode, Dr. Gonzalez will highlight a recent webinar featuring himself and Dr. Napoleon Higgins where they discussed barriers that healthcare professionals experience, including BIPOC and other marginalized groups. Dr. Gonzalez will also discuss his personal experience with racism, where we’ve been, where we are currently, and strategies the health care and research communities are implementing to address some of these challenges.
Dr. Gonzalez currently is a Nephrology Clinical & Scientific Liaison in Medical Affairs at Otsuka Pharmaceutical Development & Commercialization, Inc. He most recently served as a COVID-19 Medical & Scientific Expert for the CDC Foundation and was a leader for Prevention & Control at the City of Detroit Health Department.
