Voices Unheard
The Voices Unheard podcast exists to illuminate and amplify the frequently unheard voices of physicians and surgeons in today’s healthcare system. These bimonthly interview discussions are uncharacteristically transparent revealing the lived experiences of under-represented medical doctors who face unthinkable workplace discrimination and harassment related to gender, sexual identity, race, ethnicity, and other intersectional identities and/or ethical values that do not ’fit” into the status quo. In shining a light on these compelling personal stories we hope to fan the flame of sustainable culture change in medicine and surgery in order to transpose a safe, dignified, equitable, and inclusive workplace to future generations.For more information or to access our library of episodes with the associated links, please visit: www.voicesinmedicine.com
