Description
Microaggressions in Medicine highlights the often-overlooked harm caused by discriminatory attitudes and behaviors in healthcare settings. Drawing on diverse patient testimonies and case studies, this book sheds light on the experiences of marginalized patients and the serious consequences that microaggressions can have.
The authors argue that recognizing these harms is crucial for achieving health equity, and offer practical strategies for healthcare professionals to reduce microaggressions in their practices. By shining a light on these issues, they aim to make a positive difference in the lives of marginalized patients and promote patient-centered care.
