EthnoMed Podcast

Dr. Duncan Reid, clinical assistant professor (General Internal Medicine), created a podcast to highlight the diverse backgrounds and journeys of people in medicine. 

Reid is a physician in the International Medicine Clinic at Harborview Medical Center, and medical director of EthnoMed.

“A goal of the podcast is to humanize the healthcare journey,” says Reid. “By sharing stories from clinicians from various cultural backgrounds and specialties, students considering a career in medicine see themselves represented.” 

The podcast, launched in June, is a natural addition to the EthnoMed program, which provides a cultural bridge connecting providers and patients who come from refugee, immigrant and migrant backgrounds.

They explore these themes through three recurring series:

• PROVIDER PULSE – focused interviews with health providers and medical residents on the frontlines of care.
• CULTURAL DEEP DIVES – in-depth conversations with community members, cultural mediators, and thought leaders.
• BOOK CLUB– curated book recommendations that explore the intersections of health, culture, medicine, and geo-politics
