I sit down with Gastroenterologist Dr Darrell Gray II, as we discuss the Association of Black Gastroenterologists and Hepatologists (Black in Gastro) movement, and how he approaches communicating bedside practice to policy. He wants to advance the science and center the community involvement, and there is always will be more work to be done. As new technology is implemented, those that have been marginalized in the past, tend to be the last to have access and/or participate. I asked a question that had been on my mind, which was the notion of ethnicity in clinical trials. ABGH is a 501c3 that continues to grow since inception in 2021. Black women in medicine are statistically leading black men in medicine, but they face their own challenges (as do all women working in medicine).
