They witness the impact of poverty, racism, misogyny, and ableism on their patients wellbeing, seeing firsthand how these and other forms of structural violence can obstruct access to vital resources necessary for health and survival. Despite this deeply felt urgency, educational and regulatory bodies have been painfully slow to respond to these systemic inequities.\nChanging Care expl.
