As someone who identifies as a Black, bipolar kidney doctor, Justin is passionate about creating safe environments in medicine where everyone can bring their authentic selves to work in the spirit of healing. His primary research focuses on how to promote safety in medicine for providers and patients. Justin works to recognize how his privileges as a man and as someone with an invisible disability impact his work with DWD.
