News and Commentary Vital Voices Season 1

Vital Voices Logo

We are excited to share a compilation of the inaugural season of Vital Voices, a podcast of the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation.  

In each episode, Holly J. Humphrey is joined by one or two guest experts to dive deep on a particular issue. Our guests range from medical students to practitioners to deans of medical schools.  

The issues we will discuss include the history of racism and bias in medicine, methods and practices for dealing with racist patients, and how to combat and navigate various biases in health professions learning environments such as biases against those who are Asian-American or identify as LGBTQ+.
