“In one case, say a Black family had an upsetting experience with one of my white colleagues,” says Hill, who is also an author. “They may not trust me, another white doctor, to see their side of the story and so may not share.

“I don't want patients to have to carry the burden of teaching their doctors about racism,” Lincoln says.
