This documentary video from the _New England Journal of Medicine,_ featuring
retired University of Chicago Associate Dean for Graduate Medical Education
Anita Blanchard, M.D., reflects on the importance of diversity and mentorship.
As a Black woman training in a field that was (and remains) predominantly
White, she found a sense of belonging thanks to the unconditional support and
encouragement she received from Black senior professor James Bowman, M.D.,
Ph.D.

Watch as Dr. Blanchard shares the personal experiences and stories that inspire her to strive to increase the diversity of physicians and improve health
and life in the surrounding, largely minoritized, community.

Great story! Beautiful portrayal of a great physician beyond diversity.

The vast majority of patients want to go to the best doctor, regardless of ethnicity. They don’t want to go to one who got into medical school because the school wanted to “increase diversity.” This stuff worsens trust in the physicians you are trying to promote.
