- Joel Bervell, a 2017 Yale University graduate and Washington State University medical student, has started using his Instagram page to address racial bias in the medical community.
“I’ve been blessed a lot to be able to be in a position where I can now look at both sides from the medical community and from the Black community, and try and kind of remedy those rifts that have been created,” he says.
The medical community spends millions of dollars annually to conduct studies, testing and to buy lifesaving devices, but Bervell says diversity is not always a consideration, which has become too big of a problem to ignore. COVID-19 is perfect example of this, he says, noting how pulse oximeters are more likely to be more inaccurate for Black people.

Joel I wish you all the best in your career and life.
Very necessary; easily construed, and well-presented. Sincere thanks.
Thank you BNC for covering this!!!!
Joel is right.
One of the main reasons I haven’t taken the jab, not enough blacks in the study trials
@Ike Coleman one of the main reasons blacks haven’t taken the jab, not enough tests for those study trials 😂
He’s very bright!
They know they really don’t care
Dude, you are young and have a bright future ahead of you.
Whatever you do, stick to the science and don't let them (esp the media) lure you into the race hustle!
It’s not racial is educational
