About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we're talking with Dr. Smith, an expert in health governance frameworks and the instructor of a groundbreaking course titled "Postgraduate Certificate in Racism and Health Governance Frameworks". Dr. Smith, can you tell us more about this program? GUEST: Absolutely, this course is designed to address the profound impact of racism on health outcomes. We aim to equip healthcare professionals, policymakers, and researchers with the knowledge and skills to tackle systemic racism in healthcare. HOST: That sounds incredibly important. From your experience, what are some of the current industry trends relevant to this course? GUEST: There's growing recognition of the role social determinants of health play in health disparities. Also, there's a rising demand for cultural competency and anti-racism strategies in healthcare settings. HOST: Speaking of challenges, what are some obstacles you've faced or observed in implementing these strategies? GUEST: One major challenge is the lack of understanding and awareness about the issue. Another is the resistance to change, especially when it comes to dismantling systemic racism. HOST: It's clear that there's still a lot of work to be done. Looking to the future, how do you see this area of health governance evolving? GUEST: I believe we'll see more emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion in healthcare leadership, policy-making, and research. This can lead to healthier and more equitable communities. HOST: That's a powerful vision. Dr. Smith, thank you for your time and for the crucial work you're doing in this field. GUEST: My pleasure, thank you for having me. It's important to keep these conversations going to create real change.
