Dr. Amanda Calhoun, 28, argued in an op-ed for the Boston Globe that body cameras should be worn by health care professionals in order to hold responsible doctors and nurses for racist behavior allegedly displayed towards black patients. Calhoun, who serves as co-Vice Chair of the Diversity Council of the Yale Resident Fellow Senate, “works to alleviate the impact of racism on her patients and society at large,” her website states.
