How far does the Hippocratic Oath extend? When incoming medical students swear to "do no harm or injustice" to their patients, are they shouldering a responsibility to speak out against social injustices as well as provide medical care? Riya Dange and Antoinette Charles tackle these crucial questions alongside Dr. Edjah Nduom, a Black neurosurgical oncologist and associate professor at the Emory School of Medicine. Together, they trace Dr. Nduom's journey from medical student to attending physician and how he came to found Physicians for Criminal Justice Reform, an organization that unites doctors across specialties to advocate against the health disparities created by the American incarceration system. Their conversation explores the complexities of pursuing a successful career in medicine as a member of an underrepresented minority group and the critical roles that health care professionals can play in dismantling social injustices.
