Cultural barriers in medical care and therapy are staggering, and educating ourselves on the issues is a great start to demanding change. When we think about the term "healthcare", we tend to focus in on the common debate of public and private services. Countries are ranked in terms of the healthcare system, and the industry is constantly booming with new technologies and discoveries. However, even a country with a good healthcare system does not give equal treatment to all. In Western societies, both medical care and therapy techniques have been developed off of centuries of research largely dominated by White patients. Today, we discuss the gaps that still lie within getting BIPOC people access to the best therapy for them, the negative impacts of common medical practices on our Black population, and more.
