Compass Opioid Stewardship Mini Series on Health Equity and Health Disparities


Apr 5, 2023

Hosts Dr. Don Stader, MD, and Dr. Rachael Duncan, PharmD, sit down with Dr. Susan Reverby, PhD, to discuss the infamous Tuskegee syphilis experiments. Dr. Reverby discusses her research into the notorious experimental trial and how the fallout has led to distrust in the healthcare system within marginalized communities in the United States. Amidst her research on Tuskegee, Dr. Reverby uncovered documents detailing other unethical syphilis trials conducted by the CDC in Guatemala where subjects were actually inoculated with the disease as part of the study design. Tune in to find out how this historical context impacts racial disparities in healthcare today.
