Podcast description: Nearly 30% of men and 17% of women in the US don’t have a primary care provider. Looking more closely at those underserved groups, the statistics are even more staggering. MEDICINE AS A SECOND LANGUAGE features Black American and Haitian American physician assistants, Lavette Shirley Elee and Guerlande Louis. They discuss topics such as obesity, preventative medicine, and issues that plague communities that are underserved. While this podcast does not constitute medical advice, we hope to bridge the gap between those who are underserved and the medical community.
