Dr. Oz shared with Rashad that in the medical field, research has proven there is an implicit bias against the Black community perpetuated by White doctors. This bias leads to unnecessary surgeries and even premature deaths.

For this reason, Dr. Oz is promoting the #MoreBlackDoctors campaign to help close the gap in health care disparities.
