insurance and medical providers. Moreover, segregation strongly influences premature mortality in the US. Racism towards doctors and health care professionals Many healthcare professionals have experienced hate and racist remarks towards them at work. Whether it be at a hospital, a walk-in clinic, or a family doctor's office, people are hit with bias-based comments concerning "general bias, ethnicity / national origin, race, age, gender, accent, religion, political views, weight, medical education from outside the US, sexual orientation, and more". This study conducted features the races of "African American/Black, Asian, Caucasian, and Hispanic" Training for doctors to handle this type of prejudice at their work is very low. The even greater downfall are men and women who become faced with bigotry from unruly, demeaning, and complicated patients that disrupt delivery of care. Doctors and healthcare professionals could feel years of education could have been unworthy of such circumstances, unappreciated, and uninspired for continued service. Although all healthcare professionals could be at risk for discrimination from patients, some populations come to experience it a greater rate. While the number of doctors and other critical healthcare professionals are in need, the thoughts of dealing with racism or any other prejudice can be discouraging. The group that comes to greatest experience racism are black healthcare professionals, such as doctors and nurses that are tasked with the duty of providing care to the general public. Like much of the views held by white doctors regarding black patients, reflect the same perspectives of white patients regarding black doctors. A patient's denial of care based on the attending physician's race or background can raise thorny ethic, legal, and clinical issues that could have been avoided in the first place. Even more, black faculty members have encountered a lack of mentorship and sponsorship, barriers to promotion and advancement, and lack of supportive, alongside hostile, work environments as factors in attrition from academic medical centers. Experiencing discrimination is associated with several negatives including career outcomes and an unwelcoming work environment. Professionals can often feel alone and reluctant to be accepting of racism as a part of the profession. A greater initiative from healthcare organizations surrounding policy that protects not only black doctors, but other professionals that deliver unsurpassed care retains the much needed diversity and leadership in medicine.
