This month, Camilla and Tobias are joined by Dr. Dayle Davenport who is an Associate Professor of Medicine specializing in Emergency Medicine and the Associate Dean for Health Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (HEDI) for the Pritzker School of Medicine. Dr. Davenport has a breadth of experience in diversifying the medical field, publishing on best practices in the DEI space, and working with colleagues to improve recruitment and retention efforts. 

As our National Minority Health Month special episode and guest, Dr. Davenport shares with us the importance of mentorship, having faculty from marginalized groups, and leading by example. As an expert in diversifying the medical student, house staff, and faculty populations, Dr. Davenport is committed to promoting health equity and providing quality healthcare for our South Side community.  

Tune into this episode to learn about how Dr. Davenport defines belonging, relates to her patients to ask the more difficult medical questions, and creates brave spaces for all learners and faculty to discuss topics of equity and inclusion.
