EPISODE 22 • SEASON 6 02:46:33
On this episode of More Than a Title, hosted by Jarrett and Chadeo, we’re joined by a powerhouse in both medicine and advocacy—Dr. Sophie M. Balzora, MD, FACG. A Clinical Professor of Medicine at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, Dr. Balzora’s work in gastroenterology goes far beyond clinical care. She’s a champion for diversity, equity, and inclusion in healthcare, leading initiatives that aim to transform patient care, medical education, and representation in the field.
As Chair of the American College of Gastroenterology’s DEI Committee, co-founder of the groundbreaking #DiversityinGI social media campaign, and President of the Association of Black Gastroenterologists and Hepatologists (ABGH), Dr. Balzora has consistently pushed boundaries to elevate marginalized voices and address health disparities.
In this episode, she opens up about her journey through medicine, the importance of mentorship, the intersection of culture and healthcare, and how she’s working to change the narrative around who belongs in medicine. Whether you’re in the healthcare field or simply passionate about driving equity in any space, Dr. Balzora’s story is one you won’t want to miss.
