Join us in making a pledge to talk to 3 people in your network about COVID-19 for a MLK Day of Service!
We also hope that you will participate in a day of service by talking with three people in your network, especially your family about their questions about the vaccine and share with them what you have learned. On Monday, January 18th as a part of this UCLA Day of Service, Dr. Briggs-Malonson of UCLA Health will organize a group of Black physicians and scientists to answer questions that your family/network may have about the vaccine in general, at 3 PM PST.
Female black doctors often face discrimination and bias in the workplace, which can create a hostile environment and make it even harder for them to succeed. This can include unequal pay, limited opportunities for advancement, and a lack of representation in leadership positions. These barriers, combined with the added stress and pressure of the pandemic, can make it difficult for female black doctors to maintain a healthy work-life balance and take care of their own well-being.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on healthcare workers, particularly female Black doctors who have faced unique challenges and increased stress levels. The increased workload and pressure to provide care to patients amidst a global crisis has led to high levels of burnout among this group. This has been compounded by systemic racism and discrimination in the healthcare system, as well as the emotional burden of serving communities that have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic. This burnout is affecting their mental and physical health, as well as their ability to provide high-quality care to patients.
Experience the tale of a woman who dares to strive for both personal and professional fulfillment. Get ready to be inspired and moved by this relatable story of balancing work and family, and discovering what truly matters in life. No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
