Dr. Jennifer Taylor-Cousar is an amazing woman I can’t wait to meet in person one day. She is a Board Certified Pediatric and adult pulmonologist at National Jewish Health in Colorado. She’s a rock star in the world of CF, and she’s doing incredible work raising awareness about systemic and individual bias and racism in medicine. She also talks about the importance of representation in the field of medicine. I hope after you hear this podcast you are more inspired to speak up and do more to change the world.
