Equity is More Than Talk: Move 2024 Meeting

I applaud the AAP for having a new Equity Leadership position and their commitment to further examining and tackling the racial inequities in medicine. However, I have two concerns. First “eliminating race-based medicine” sounds too similar to the Supreme Court announcement that “race blind” is the goal. That does not address the needs of minoritized families and communities. Second, the AAP cannot claim to center equity when they are holding their 2024 meeting in Florida. Both the NAACP and HRC have announced travel warnings to Florida because of the blatant anti-Black and anti-LGBTQ positions of the Florida government. To show leadership, the AAP must PUBLICLY move their 2024 Meeting out of Florida. The AAP is not following their own Code of Conduct by supporting this harm and hate toward children. I expect better.

I appreciated Dr First’s discussion of the treatment of anxiety in pediatric practice.

Dr. First refers to a study that said that people who report more positive experiences are less likely to have anxiety. He also gives the excellent point of asking them for a recent moment that they enjoyed or made them happy.

The chicken or the egg question is, how do you know that people who report more positive experiences are happier because they have experienced them or they report more of them because they tend to be more happy and less anxious people.

Clearly, the idea of having positive experiences and reinforcing the pleasure of them should be the goal for all people. Even the podcast itself always ends with an ‘aha moment’ that the Podcasters share.

Again, thank you for Dr. First’s monthly segments and the podcast in general!
