This month’s guest on the The Family Doctor podcast exemplifies a rare blend of courage, humility, and humanity. You will be moved and touched by what you hear, and what you feel, as Dr Thomas White talks with Dr Rhett Brown, a Family Physician from Charlotte NC. Dr. Brown discusses his personal journey as a gay physician starting practice in the early 90s, and shares how he became an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, particularly transgender patients.  Dr Brown is a graduate of Davidson College, attended the Medical University of South Carolina, and completed his residency in family medicine at the Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte NC. He served as President of the NC Academy of Family Physicians in 2017. Certified in Diversity and Inclusion from Cornell University, Dr Brown was awarded the Equity of Care Award by the Greater Charlotte Healthcare Executives Group in 2019.  Dr. Brown remains a passionate advocate for diverse patient populations and works to educate other primary care physicians on how to provide gender affirming care. The lessons to be learned and the wisdom shared in this episode are not to be missed!
