  The Hidden Biases in Medicine No One Talks About: Navigating Healthcare as a South Asian Woman with Dr. Sara Tariq, MD

  Apr 9, 202646 min

  In this episode of the Brown Women Health Podcast, Ritika and Mariam sit down with Dr. Sara Tariq, an internal medicine physician with over two decades of experience in clinical care, medical education, and health advocacy. Together, we explore what it means to navigate healthcare systems as a South Asian woman—both as a patient and as a physician—and the often invisible biases that shape those experiences. Dr. Tariq shares how her personal and professional journey led her to challenge systemic inequities in medicine, from academic culture to clinical practice. We dive into how medical training environments can reinforce (or disrupt) bias, and what that means for the future of patient care and physician identity. The conversation also highlights her work in women’s health, mental health, and LGBTQ+ care, emphasizing a relationship-centered approach that prioritizes empathy, cultural understanding, and patient empowerment. For students and early-career professionals, this episode offers thoughtful reflections on advocacy, identity, and the kind of change our healthcare systems truly need. Whether you're interested in health equity, medical education reform, or simply learning how lived experiences shape better care, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
