Capstone
Project

For my Global Studies Capstone Project, I have researched the racial/economic disparities and mistrust within the healthcare field. I plan to shadow and interview physicians in the field.

​

For my research,  I used medical podcasts and movies. I also use articles and journals of individuals with first-hand experiences with healthcare inequity. I will also be reading Black Man in a White Coat by Damon Tweedy M.D. I plan to make a podcast or video presenting my findings.

 

Racial/economic disparities and mistrust within the healthcare field is a prominent issue in today's society. I look forward to seeing where this project takes me. 

​

I will also be conducting a two-week mentorship in February with a Black emergency doctor at Columbia University to learn about the current experiences that BIPOC doctors face. 

​

Thesis Statement: Global healthcare inequities and mistrust within the healthcare system primarily exist because society values material value over human life. 

​

Here is my research paper.

Final Products

Right below this is one of my final products, which is a podcast that I made with my senior seminar mentor. We have a conversation about his pathway through medical school and residency and his overall experience. On the right is a infographic that explores data regarding healthcare inequalities in the United States.
