We sit down with surgeon Charles Dinerstein to explore the complex role of race in medical research and practice. We dive into the historical use of race as a variable in health care, its limitations, and potential alternatives like genetic ancestry and social determinants of health. Together, we examine the evolving understanding of race, ethnicity, and their impact on diagnostic tools and treatment, questioning whether race still holds relevance in modern medicine.

Charles Dinerstein is a surgeon.

He discusses the KevinMD article, “Medicine’s struggle with genetic and social realities.”
