This is Psychology: HIV, AIDS, and healthcare inequity with Dr. Sean Rourke
About this episode
The episode discusses the intersection of psychology and healthcare, focusing on HIV and AIDS with guest Dr. Sean Rourke.
It’s psychology month! Throughout February, we’ve highlighted the ways psychology shapes our everyday lives, and helps us in ways we don’t always notice. Today we’re going to focus on one way psychology interacts with the healthcare system, specifically in the field of HIV and AIDS. Our guest, Dr. Sean Rourke, just won a major award for his life’s work, the inaugural Eric Jackman award from the Royal Society of Canada. From the days when an HIV diagnosis was seen as a death sentence to today, when early detection can result in a long and full life, he has been helping Canadians in a myriad of ways.
