The Fight for Health Equity - Creating a New Model for Medical Education w/ Dr. Pedro "Joe" Greer, Jr.

"Let's just be very frank about medical education - it's racist, it's sexist, it's xenophobic, and it's elitist." Welcome to Season 2 of the Fritanga Podcast by the Hispanic Heritage Foundation. To kick off our new season, Dr. Pedro "Joe" Greer, Jr. joins host Antonio Tijerino to discuss his journey in creating a more community-centric culture of health in the United States and his continued efforts in developing a new model for medical education.

Dr. Greer is a Professor and Founding Dean of Roseman University of Health Sciences. Previously, he served as Professor of Medicine, Founding Chair of Humanities, Health, and Society; and Associate Dean for Community Engagement at Florida International University. Joe has been an indefatigable advocate for health equity by engaging communities to create effective social policies and accessible healthcare. He established Camillas Health Concern and St. John Bosco Health Centers for underserved populations in the Miami-Dade, Florida area and has received numerous recognitions for his work including one of the 500 Most Influential Business Leaders in Life Sciences, the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Obama, the Presidential Service Award by President Clinton, and was honored as a MacArthur Foundation "Genius Grant" Fellow.
