Sean Wharton, MD, PharmD

Sean Wharton, MD, PharmD, explores the topic of disparities in the treatment of type 2 diabetes with obesity within marginalized populations.

Such disparities, Dr Wharton holds, are most likely grounded in unconscious biases that lead to both underdiagnosis and undertreatment in these patients. Dr Wharton goes on to encourage a heightened awareness on the part of healthcare practitioners as a corrective to this enduring problem.
