Psychology Day Event

I recently went to the Psychology day event and was really taken by the key note speaker and her research. The key note speaker specialization is in women’s health, specifically reproductive and perinatal psychology. Her researcher focused on the PPTSD caused after and before birth specifically to Black Women. Black Women are especially overlooked and medicine doesn’t focus enough on their own issues. The speaker brought up the fact about Serena William during her pregnancy had doctors that ignored symptoms that eventually could have possibly made her die during childbirth.

From this I have learned more about equality in medicine and this is very important to me. I hope to one day become a nurse make sure that everyone receives the same amount of care. In todays world I think that it is about time where people can come together to find a solution to the problem. We need to continuously advance as a society and break down stigmas. It is important to start with education in the medical field by showing all symptoms of many races so that treatment of patients can become better. I hope I can be able to help make this change in my future.
