When you’re stressed
with finals and midterms,
how do you cope? How
do you strike a balance
between both work and
fun?
“The first thing I do is make
a written schedule that
organizes what to do each
day, just so I make sure I
finish everything I need to
do. I also like studying with
friends and studying ahead
of time so that way it’s a
more fun and relaxed time
instead of really stressful...
I also love my sorority, like
I only get to see the girls
on the weekends but we’ve
grown so close and I know
I always have them to go
out with or to learn on for
support—so that makes
the week worth it.”

“Students as future leaders
— whether they’re in health-
care professions or not — we
really wanted them to criti-
cally think about some of the
issues that we’re facing in the
world in general and what
you would do about it.”
The dialogue began with
an expert panel that included
nurses,
obstetrician-gyne-
cologists, professors and re-
searchers interested in the
topic.
The panelists discussed
what they believe to be
the key issues facing Black
women in prenatal health-
care in response to three
articles that were recom-
mended reading before the
event: Why America’s Black
Mothers and Babies Are in a
Life-or-Death Crisis, Amer-
ica is Failing its Black Moth-
ers and What States Aren’t
Doing to Save New Mothers’
Lives.
Charisse Marie Loder, a
clinical lecturer at Michigan
Medicine, summarized the
discrimination Black women
face in health care due to im-
plicit racism.
“All of the readings that
were
assigned
today
re-
ally focus on issues such
as poor prenatal care, poor
access to care, and what
really disturbs me is the
relationships between the
providers and the patients
that were described,” Loder
said. “Often concerns were
tossed
aside
or
obvious
medical problems or vital
sign abnormalities were ig-
nored, and that’s a result of
implicit bias or racism, and
I think that’s something
that we need to address in
our training and work on
reducing that as much as
possible.”
Following the first panel,
attendees split into groups
surrounding facilitators seat-
ed around the room and re-
sponded to the ideas put forth
by the panelists. Students
and alumni from a variety of
disciplines within medicine
shared their responses and
proposed ideas regarding
how to fight inequity.
Kinesiology
senior
Bri-
anna Kennedy said she was
invited to the event after at-
tending a previous Martin
Luther King Jr. symposium
and was interested in the
topic because she is study-
ing both athletic training
and Afroamerican and Afri-
can studies.
“It is a bridging gap be-
tween my major and mi-
nor in a way, with race and
health, so it’s an interesting
event to come to,” Kennedy
said.
The second group of pan-
elists then shared their own
thoughts on issues of racism
in healthcare.
Jessica Fladger, a certified
nurse midwife, stressed the
importance
of
healthcare
providers
acknowledging
their own internal biases.
“I think the problem in
our society is when we think
about racism we think about
the Ku Klux Klan, we think
about obvious implications
of racism, and we don’t think
about our own internal bias-
es and how we react to peo-
ple who don’t look like us,”
Fladger said. “We all have bi-
ases — it doesn’t matter what
color you are, where you’re
from, how you speak — we all
have internal biases that we
first have to address before
we try to fix any problem that
our nation is currently fac-
ing.”
After the second group of
panelists spoke and respond-
ed to questions, attendees
again broke into groups and
discussed the new topics
that had come up. Follow-
ing the final discussions,
each panelist gave a closing
remark reflecting on the dia-
logue overall and urging that
attendees continue the con-
versations and advocate for
women.
Dr. Lisa Kane Low, associ-
ate professor at the School of
Nursing, said the conversa-
tion inspired her.
“There can be spaces and
time where you start to get
discouraged and you start to
get cynical, and this is the
kind of space that inspires
you not to go to that ugly
place but to be inspired and
move forward,” Low said. “I
look forward to many of you
being the leaders that help
us get past the errors of our
ways and help us move for-
ward.”
The event was sponsored
by the University of Michigan
Schools of Nursing, Dentist-
ry, Kinesiology, Public Health
and Social Work, College of
Pharmacy, Michigan Medi-
cine and Michigan Institute
for Clinical and Health Re-
search.
