Resident Files: Health Equity Rounds with Kathryn Kalata, MD (S6:E27)

Implicit bias and systemic racism contribute to health disparities, and they cannot be accounted for only by the social determinants of health (income, education, marital status, employment, etc.). Everyone brings their own biases and lived experiences to the table, and as physicians, it is our responsibility to recognize the role bias plays in our interactions with patients and team members, as well as within our healthcare system. 

In the latest episode in our Resident Files series, we talk with Kathryn Kalata, MD, about Health Equity Rounds, an initiative to address bias in the care we provide our patients. 

Guest: Dr. Kathryn Kalata, a current resident at the University of Colorado.
