Chasing Hope for America’s Children: Medicine, Justice, and the Future of Child Protection (A Conversation with Dr. Antonia Chiesa and Medical Student Gagandeep "Gigi" Rai)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In the fifth episode of Chasing Hope for America’s Children, we share a recorded conversation between Dr. Antonia Chiesa, a nationally recognized child abuse pediatrician and Director of the Kempe Center’s Integrated Health Services program, and medical student Gagandeep "Gigi" Rai.
Together, they explore how child abuse pediatrics sits at the intersection of medicine, justice, and humanity—discussing the importance of accuracy in public narratives, collaboration across systems, bias awareness in clinical decision-making, and the need to better prepare future physicians for this complex and deeply human work.
Their conversation offers both realism and hope, highlighting the responsibility—and opportunity—clinicians hold in strengthening child protection for the next generation.
