Think Fast! The Rising Cost of Shortcuts in Medical Education | Suzette Ikejiani | TEDxUMiami

Doctor's must make informed and timely decisions on a daily basis. In order to do so, they often use common symptoms found in textbooks to inform their judgements and apply them to all patients. However, as the world grows more diverse we find that all people do not experience the same symptoms from the same aliments. Suzette Ikejiani discusses how important it is to balance quick decisions with recognition that you are treating each person as an individual. From her experience as a medical student at Baylor College of Medicine, she provides an inside look at how important it is to establish the different experiences of patients from varying races, ethnicities, and cultural backgrounds. She highlights the importance of acknowledging these differences when administering effective medical treatment. Suzette Ikejiani received her Bachelor of Science in Education from the University of Miami in 2015 with a major focus in Exercise Physiology. During her time at UM, she developed interests in educational psychology, health disparities, and race, gender, and sexual orientation-based inequity. She served as a Dean's Ambassador in the School of Education and Human Development, President of United Black Students, President of the National Pan-Hellenic Council and is a proud initiate of the Tau Rho Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated. She is a member of both Iron Arrow and Omicron Delta Kappa Honor Societies and is currently in her final year of Medical School at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, TX. While at BCM, she’s continued to hone her aforementioned interests and has assisted in various aspects of curriculum development and medical education. Suzette will begin her residency training in Emergency Medicine this June. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
