Article Summary MWP #3

In the article "Uncovering the Face of Racism in the Workplace" by Minal Mistry and Javed Latoo, it deals with the struggles in the healthcare profession today. Sections of the article address the issue of racism in healthcare and the response it receives from the victims. One section describes the issue of racism in medicine. Physicians have either been victim to racism or have witnessed racism while trying to apply to school. The article says, "racial discrimination has operated at the time when students applied to study medicine, through short-listing based on whether applications had Asian or English names, and with downgrading of non-English names by computer."Another section deals with the issue of racism in higher positions within the workplace. The article says, "less than 10% of senior managers and 1% of chief executives are from ethnic minority background." Clearly there is evidence that racism does exist in the healthcare workplace.
