Скачать или смотреть The Power of Mentorship, Equity & Inclusivity in Healthcare | Dr. Gwenaëlle Thomas

Dr. Gwenaëlle Thomas (she/her/hers) is a Scientific Project Manager at the Lieber Institute for Brain Development at John Hopkins University and Co-founder of Black in Neuro. As a neuropsychopharmacologist, she studies the brain and how drugs work on psychiatric illnesses, particularly schizophrenia. Her passion for neuroscience began when she witnessed a loved one’s struggle with schizophrenia, revealing the disparities in treatment and understanding of mental illness among People of Color and those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. This experience inspired her to investigate how these inequities affect brain health and access to mental healthcare. Dr. Thomas emphasizes the need to address medical racism and ableism, stating, “There’s a lot of medical racism or ableism behind the scenes that doesn’t talk about how we got to where we are today, and so it’s very difficult to make progress and move forward if you don’t acknowledge what’s happened before.” Through Black In Neuro, she fosters supportive environments for Black individuals in neuroscience and advocates for the crucial role of mentorship in overcoming barriers. Dr. Thomas envisions a future where inclusive technology and resources enable equitable diagnosis, treatment, and understanding of mental illness for everyone.
