Hi friends. This is Rohan Kazanjee, and welcome back to another episode of the Clinical

Problem Solvers podcast's Anti-Racism and Medicine series. As always, our goal on this series is to equip our listeners

at all levels of training with the consciousness and tools to practice anti-racism in their

health professions careers. Our episode today is titled, Racism, Redlining, and the Path

Towards Reconciliation. And this episode is focused on the historical and present day implications of neighborhood red lighting and housing segregation.

This will be the first of three episodes interrogating the relationships between race, place, housing, and health.

And we're really looking forward to taking a deep dive into these critical issues, knowing well that their consequences manifest every day in our clinics and

hospitals. I am so excited to be joined today by my superstar team members, Dr. Jenny Sy and Dr.

Utti B. Sian, who all ask to introduce our guests.

Hey, everyone. This is Jenny. I am so thrilled to introduce Professor Fernando DiMaio.

He's the Director of Research and Data Use at the AMA Center for Health Equity. He's also a professor of sociology at DePaul University and co-editor of a new book just published this year titled Unequal Cities, Structural Racism, and the Death Gap in America's largest cities. On a more personal and somewhat more romantic note, when I met Fernando, I told him he was like

the manifestation of my dreams as a medical student.

He's doing all the kind of really incisive, critical work that I really yearned for when I first

started medical training.

And so I continue to learn from him and I'm just so excited

that he's here with us today. Thank you so much for having me. And Jenny, that has to be the

best introduction I've ever had. So thank you. As always, big shoes to fill and to follow after

following Jenny. But I have the distinct honor of introducing Mr. Richard Rothstein, who has a distinguished

fellow of the Economic Policy Institute. In 2017, he published an incredible book, which you've all

seen me talking about on social media, the color of law, a forgotten history of how our government segregated America.

Again, it's now one of a favorite of mine and many of our team members.

It's on our shelves and many of our manuscript citations.
