Welcome to the Faces of Medicine podcast, hosted by Dr. Khama Ennis. In this episode, we hear the story of Dr. Thea James, an emergency physician, Vice President of Mission, and Associate Chief Medical Officer at Boston Medical Center. From living through school integration to her work as the executive director of the system’s Health Equity Accelerator, Dr. James has been navigating spaces where being underrepresented is a constant. Over the years she has challenged patterns of inequity that are often accepted as norms. She has channeled the energy of disruption to improve the care of patients and clear the path for future doctors
This podcast is part of Faces of Medicine, a donor-funded project to share the stories of Black women physicians to inspire the next generation and give everyone who listens a window into these remarkable journeys.
It all started with an independent documentary which is available to rent at kinema.
This episode was made possible with the support of Mass Humanities, PRX, and New England Public Media.
