Diversity in Medicine Lecture: Dr. Brian Williams
https://brianwilliamsmd.com/
Dr. Brian Williams is an Associate Professor of Surgery at the University of Chicago, Division of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery. He received his MD from the University of South Florida, completed his general surgery residency at Harvard, and a fellowship in trauma surgery and surgical critical care at Emory University.
Dr. Williams treated victims of the July 7, 2016 Dallas police sniper attack, and his press conference remarks led to essential conversations about racism, racial profiling, gun violence, and the urgent need to take action against intolerance.
He continues his community service in Chicago’s South Side, while training students and future surgeon-activists. He believes that a better world is possible with honest conversations about the legacy of racism, embracing diversity, and advocating for healthcare equity.
