Unfortunately this episode misses the mark. The name speaks for itself. As the guest mentioned multiple times, structural racism does not accuse a single person of being racist, nor does it accuse a single person of building this system and structure. Structural racism is systemic discrimination based upon race. If we don’t focus and acknowledge the role that race and ethnicity play, we will never move forward. I’m sorry the word “racism” makes you feel uncomfortable. As a Black American, I can guarantee that racism causes much more than mere discomfort for me.

Very fun and interesting content. I am a 3rd year medical student, and I really enjoy the historical perspectives and the broad overviews of the the topics coupled with detailed information. The production quality and scripts are also very well done. I think JAMA Clinical Reviews has mastered the Conversational style of instruction. Keep up the good work.

As a pharmacist, I was hoping to develop more of a holistic picture of disease states beyond drug therapy with these podcasts. Very minimal focus on dietary/lifestyle modifications- not a great message to get across newer clinicians.

How can a podcast be so shortsided as to have two men (white men?) declaring that there is no racism in the medical profession. First, that’s a sweeping idea - that there exists zero racism - and second, they are not the affected parties. By centering themselves at the table, by not inviting a more knowledgeable guest, they looked foolish and uninformed as they talked outside their specialty. Maybe they didn’t know anyone within the 5% of Black doctors to give first hand accounts of the experiences they’ve faced, like listening to AMA podcasts. The entire situation reeks of irony, and I hope the AMA opens up it’s board membership and replaces uninformed people with doctors on the frontlines of change. I have Instagram content more educational than that episode. There’s a group of Black surgeons who do TikTok and demonstrate that they can be who they are, look who they look like, and be a licensed physician. They discuss the racism they face at their workplace, the statements by staff and patients. But instead we needed opinions from people who are not the victims of racism on whether racism has been solved.

Very disappointed in the episode on structural racism. The host inserts his opinions which are only an example of how racism still exists in modern times. First, he defines racism as “use of race to make decisions about one can or cannot do or to somehow limit someone’s possibilities.” Where did he get this antiquated definition? This does not encompass what racism is at all. Second, even individual racism appears to be defined inaccurately...where is implicit racism in this conversation? Third, he seems to assume that the Civil Rights Act eradicated racism, how would he explain, then, BIPOC’s chronic experiences of racism in modern times? Fourth, the host states that the term structural racism is off-putting, because its inclusion of the term “racism” “offends” people who do not consider themselves racism. Fifth, he claims to have grown up “anti-racist.” To be anti-racist, someone must acknowledge their internalized racism AND structural racism and actively challenge this. These are only a few examples of the frustratingly obtuse things the host shares. Each of these examples reveals how racism persists in our country; that is, there are people like the host who seem to think a) it doesn’t exist because it’s “illegal”, b) that individuals are immune from implicit racism, and c) gets offended by the term “racism.”
