Real Talk BLM – Chris' Story: These things happen

Dr. Chris Smith has dealt with racial biases his whole life, but isn’t sure the best way to approach being a doctor who’s mistaken for the janitor on a daily basis.

Show Notes

Dr. Smith is an emergency medicine physician with Vituity, a physician partnership that places clinical expertise and patient outcomes at the center of their work.

The Vituity Cares Foundation was formed in 2020 in an effort to foster a new, more diverse generation of healthcare leaders, countering underrepresentation in the industry. Vituity Cares is dedicated to healing the most vulnerable, empowering the underrepresented, and ensuring a more equitable future for all.
