Hey everyone, the dose is back with a brand new format. I'm Joel Brevelle. I'm a medical student and I'm currently on an orthopedic research fellowship at Johns Hopkins University. I graduate from Washington State University School of Medicine in 2024. You may have already met me on TikTok and if not, consider this your invitation to see what I'm up to over there. I'm known as a medical myth buster, now with over 120 million views on my videos that tackle the hidden history of medicine, racial disparities, and biases in healthcare. For the next four weeks, I'm hosting a series of compelling conversations that you won't hear anywhere else. We'll talk to emerging and established voices in the health equity space to learn what's on the horizon for this pressing work.

Each of these individuals are people that I've been inspired by, whose work is truly changing how healthcare professionals and patients understand and interact with the healthcare system. We've Naomi Nkinzi, a medical student who has gone up against the medical establishment to change how a medical equation treats Black patients. If I don't say anything, no one else is going to say anything, and then everyone's going to believe that these kind of myths about Black people are true. We have Dr. Ziad Obermeier, an emergency medicine physician and researcher who is picking apart the biases that

are embedded deep in medical machine learning algorithms. You know, most organizations didn't even have like a list of all the algorithms that were being used in that organization. So it's really hard to have any oversight over these very powerful tools if you don't even know what's being used. I think the guests that we have on the show are the best of the best. They're the individuals that are going to be leading and changing the health care system, whose work is going to be referenced 100 years down the line. I've been wanting to record a podcast for so long. And so to finally be able to be doing this with people that I think are incredible is a dream come true.

So that's The Dose. Fresh ideas, new perspectives, compelling conversations about where healthcare is headed. Our first episode drops April 7th. Can't wait to see you then.
