#39 Inclusive Healthcare & Showing Up for Our Communities with Dr. Jonathan Tolentino

Yellow Glitter

In this episode, we’re joined by an extra special guest, Dr. Jonathan Tolentino, Program Director of the Combined Internal Medicine-Pediatrics Residency program at Jackson Memorial Hospital/University of Miami and Associate Professor of Internal Medicine and Pediatrics at University of Miami. We chat about intersectional healthcare and the importance of understanding our history, legislation, and evolving healthcare to show up for our historically marginalized communities & youth.

We chat about:

• The importance of recognizing the intersectionality of gender, race, and sexuality in healthcare.
• The future of our ever-evolving medical field.
• Our stories of acceptance and fitting in and the growing visibility of queer identities around the world.
• Discriminatory laws and their impact on our historically marginalized communities, especially our youth.
• The importance of showing up and holding our legislators accountable
