Medical diversity is key.
This is so important in all fields but especially the medical profession. Being able to connect with patients and identify that they aren’t engaging with information is vital to patient care
If you have no clue about where your patient/client is coming from, you’re not helping. Go check Dr. Glaucomflecken’s pieces on rural medicine.
Seriously, medical professionals NEED to understand the communities they are providing care to; language, culture, education, etc, are all VITAL components to keep in mind, and not enough medical workers seem to get that.
