CALIFORNIA ACES ACADEMY WEBINAR • MAY 27, 2021
Medical Advocacy in the Face of Discrimination with Dr. Sharon Cooper
Access recording at avahealth.org
This presentation discusses strategies that a healthcare provider can use to educate and advocate for equal treatment of their minority patients. Strategies will be discussed regarding being alert to discriminatory medical treatment, inadequate educational practices, and therapeutic interventions that appear to fall short of what is needed for the complexity of a child’s medical condition. The statement “When you see something, say something” is certainly fitting for the healthcare provider to become part of the solution and not part of the problem.
