Medical Mistrust and Medical Distrust: Historical Foundations of Racism in Medicine

Medical Mistrust and Medical Distrust: Historical Foundations of Racism in Medicine

In health care, we are often acculturated to believe patients who don’t follow physicians’ care plans are “non-compliant” or do not care about their health. Understanding the history behind a patient’s lack of trust in a care plan may help you approach patients more openly and will support better communication about your recommendations. This module will explore the important distinctions between medical distrust and medical mistrust. The history of unethical medical experimentation and substandard care provided to people from racial and ethnic minority groups lie at the root of mistrust and distrust in health care in these communities.
