37- Physician-Author Series: Jasmine Brown, MD Candidate (Twice As Hard)

What additional barriers often affect women and minorities and make the medical journey even harder? How can we employ the stories of women of color to motivate aspiring female physicians and physicians of color? In our next episode, we answer these questions and explore the story of Jasmine Brown, who dedicated her academic research at the University of Oxford to explore the lives of pioneering African American female physicians. We discuss her recently published book “TWICE AS HARD”

Jasmine is an MD Candidate at the University of Pennsylvania. She completed a Bachelor of Arts in Neuroscience at Washington University in St. Louis, then an MPhil in the History of Science, Medicine, and Technology at the University of Oxford supported by the Rhodes Trust. She has been involved in advocacy work for many years helping minority students get involved in research. Jasmine just released her first book, “TWICE AS HARD”. The book covers the history of Black women physicians in the US from the civil war to the 21st century.
