Diversity Matters in Academic Medicine | TBDP S3E7

This week’s episode features Dr. Darrell Gray, a Gastroenterologist practicing at The Ohio State University. He is currently an Associate Professor and he explains what this academic title means. He breaks down the ranking system and talks about how to work towards promotion. Dr. Gray provides full disclosure of the hard work involved, which includes giving lectures, doing research and serving in leadership positions. Dr. Gray also shares his passion for helping the community with his work through Ethiopian Tewahedo Social Services. 
This episode was recorded back in January of 2021, however its release is very timely. The concerning reports coming out of Tulane have focused attention on the importance of supporting diversity and inclusion in academic medicine. Without a diverse group of medical educators, it will be impossible to diversify medicine. 
Are you interested in becoming a Gastroenterologist? Are you interested in learning about navigating the world of academic medicine? Are you concerned about the lack of diversity among the ranks of Professors and Associate Professors? If so, this episode is for you.
TBDP is a volunteer passion project with the goal of inspiring all who listen. In-house music and audio production, so any ideas for improvements or suggestions for future guests are welcome.
