J. Marion Sims is considered the father of Gynecology, despite causing harm and death to countless unprotected Black enslaved female patients used for physical experiments without their consent, permission, or willingness. Though an extreme example of discrimination against Black women in healthcare, this is one of countless disparities (historical and contemporary) of racism as a factor between Black women and their White counterparts. Though less blatant today, we still see racial disparities directly linked to systemic racism. As a result, Black females suffer higher rates of most critical illnesses, including cancer, hypertension, strokes, and diabetes, along with higher infant mortality rates. There is a direct connection between the healthcare disparities and inequalities mentioned above, and the inequities that limit Black female representation as doctors. For this reason, Black female doctors are more critical than ever, as patients are more likely to develop trust and better communication with physicians who share the same gender and ethnicity intersection. This dynamic allows for a better understanding of physical conditions based on living them as opposed to solely learning them scholastically. In my journey as a Black woman pursuing the path made possible by America’s first Black female physician, Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler in 1864 and several others since, I engaged in the present study to explore through the perspectives of Black female doctors, the challenges that they face in the profession and their perspective on why their representation in the field is critical, necessary, and valuable for ongoing Black female patient health. My hope from this research is to provide a blueprint for my career while broadening the body of research that supports the need for Black female physicians and the need for resources to better enable a growing body of Black females in this space.
