In this episode, we have the pleasure of hosting Dr. Eve Higginbotham, SM MD ML, a renowned glaucoma specialist and professor of ophthalmology at the Scheie Eye Institute. Among the many roles she serves, she is also the inaugural vice dean for the Penn Medicine Office of Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity. She is also the senior fellow at the Leonard Davis Insitute for Health Economics and a Board member of Ascension's finance and audit committees. Dr. Higginbotham maintains a strong background in serving the community not just at the local level but also at the federal level.

A graduate of Harvard medical school and someone who carries a Master of Law from the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Higginbotham shares her thoughts on how we can develop inclusive environments in our medical community. As we discuss this matter, we hope that our listeners will start thinking upstream and at the population level to serve our collective patient community!
