I am in severe pain! Why can't I get any treatment? These statements are far too frequent and a history of health disparities in pain indicates historically marginalized patients experience worse pain outcomes AND receive less pain treatment. My research career has been dedicated to better understanding the sociocultural factors underlying pain disparities and identifying ways we as a field can move towards greater pain equity and pain liberation. This challenging work cannot be done alone, and I am deeply grateful for the mentoring and support that I have received here at Stanford and previously in my training. I have been able to pursue this research and to engage in committees and programs supporting the ideals of JEDI. If you have an interest in health equity research, please reach out!
