Population Health and Implicit Biases with Jessica Dudley RN, DNP
One of Jackie’s friends from nursing school, Jessica Dudley RN, DNP joins your co-hosts on the mic to discuss population health, Black mortality rates in childbirth, vaccine hesitancy, and the need for education around implicit biases in healthcare.
A true trailblazer in her field, Jessica authors a blog (and soon-to-be podcast) called The Soul Experiment, which started from the recognition that her thoughts on social justice don’t necessarily align with where she came from, and wondering what that means for those relationships. She became a nurse because she wanted to disrupt and reform the system of inequality within healthcare.
She now wants to become a midwife, establish a Black birthing center, and a clinic for minorities to receive care. Jessica believes there should be a standardized level of care for every person in the United States, no matter what you look like, or which state you come from.
