Tackling Pervasive Health Inequity - Geoffrey Roche, Dignity Health Global Education - a podcast by Osmosis.org

“There's health equity concerns in everything,” observes Geoffrey Roche, from organ donation, to clinical care, to access of care, to quality of care. “I think everyone within healthcare needs to pay attention and be mindful of what they can do to fix that.” Join host Dr. Rishi Desai on this episode of Raise the Line as he speaks with Roche about what drew him to healthcare, his role at Dignity Health Global Education developing programs “for healthcare, by healthcare,” and his service on the National Health Equity Task Force. Hear Roche's thoughts on how COVID has caused healthcare to be further politicized, and why we need to return to the “core of service” -- the field's essential helping nature. Learn about Dignity Health's life-changing Equity Impact Scholarship, and how simulation can be an effective tool in communication training. Plus, find out why Roche believes middle schoolers should learn about the pathways of a healthcare career, and why he advises everyone to consider having a personal board of advisors.
