Equity in Laboratory Medicine

Explore the complex relationship between race, ethnicity, and genetics in laboratory medicine through this 22-minute webinar presented by Dr. Christina Pierre. Examine the persistence of race as a biological proxy in science and medicine despite evidence from human genome sequencing. Delve into the nuanced debate surrounding the use of racial and ethnic categories in clinical care, weighing potential benefits against drawbacks. Gain insights into the implications of these categorizations for healthcare quality and outcomes, particularly for racial and ethnic minorities. Learn about the latest research on genetic variation and its impact on disease diagnosis and treatment. Evaluate the role of laboratory medicine in addressing health disparities and promoting equity in patient care.
