It reveals the deficiencies in the American healthcare structure that have contributed to the mismanagement of healthcare in the Black population, and examines cross-currents that intersect with the major events in minority medical history. Illustrated across 10 expertly written chapters, this text features a longitudinal timeline with the presentation of evidence-based information drawn from historical, political, and clinical sources. The book begins with an analysis of diseases particularly prevalent in the Black community due to socioeconomic inequalities in available medical care. These diseases include sickle cell anemia, hypertension, heart failure, drug addiction, and HIV/AIDS. Bolstered by profiles of historically well-known Black physicians, stories of success in medical education, and the remarkable impact of Black medical organizations, subsequent chapters address the triumphs and tribulations of the Black medical professional in America. Concluding with an examination of the current health status of Black people in the United States, the book makes a case for future systemic improvements in healthcare delivery to minority communities. A unique, noteworthy reference, Blacks in Medicine: Clinical, Demographic, and Socioeconomic Correlations is written for a broad range of physicians and health providers, as well as professionals in the social sciences and public health. 606 $aAfrican Americans$xMedical care 606 $aAfrican Americans in medicine 606 $aAfrican Americans 606 $aInternal medicine 606 $aMedical education 606 $aInternal Medicine$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33002 606 $aHistory of Medicine$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H64000 606 $aMedical Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O26000 606 $aAfro-nord-americans$2thub 606 $aCondicions socials$2thub 606 $aHistòria de la medicina$2thub 607 $aEstats Units d'Amèrica$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xMedical care. 615 0$aAfrican Americans in medicine. 615 0$aAfrican Americans. 615 0$aInternal medicine. 615 0$aMedical education. 615 14$aInternal Medicine. 615 24$aHistory of Medicine. 615 24$aMedical Education. 615 7$aAfro-nord-americans. 615 7$aCondicions socials 615 7$aHistòria de la medicina. 676 $a362.108996073 700 $aWilliams$b Richard Allen$f1936-$01354980 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910392734003321 996 $aBlacks in medicine$93358887 997 $aUNINA
