#20: In Conversation with Brytanny McClendon for the Advil Pain Equity Project

BLKHLTH has partnered with Advil and Morehouse School of Medicine on the Advil Pain Equity Project, a long-term commitment to champion equitable and accessible pain relief. Through research, education, and collaboration, we are working to illuminate the issue of pain inequity in Black communities. Join us for this special episode featuring Brytanny McClendon-Weary, a fourth-year medical student at Howard University College of Medicine. We are discussing the experiences of Black patients in pain and the need for a pain equity education course for medical students to achieve health equity. In 2024, the Advil Pain Equity Project will launch a course for health professionals to educate them on pain equity and offer tools and skills to help address the issue both in and outside of medical facilities.
