Black Men's Health - Advice By Black Male Doctors

I think that of all of the interviews that I have done, these are some of the most important.

I spoke with three African American physicians all men and one of them, Dr. David Malebranche, is openly gay.

Dr. David Malebranche, M.D., M.P.H. is the Assistant Professor at Emory University’s Division of General Medicine in Atlanta Georgia. Dr. Malebranche's work has been featured in medical and public health journals such as The Annals of Internal Medicine, The American Journal of Public Health, Health Affairs, Academic Medicine, and the Journal of the National Medical Association. He is known as a dynamic speaker nationwide and has been featured in documentaries on CNN, ABC News Primetime, and Black Entertainment Television (BET) for his expertise on HIV in the Black community.

David discusses some of the trends and challenges of doing HIV/AIDS work during his visit to Oakland California at the CALL TO ACTION event produced by AIDS Project of The East Bay (APEB) through the office of AIDS Administration.

Special thanks to the California Prevention Education Project (CAL PEP) for producing the Black Men's Health Summit where we spoke with Dr. Mack Roach & Dr. H.Geoffrey Watson.

San Francisco's Dr. Mack Roach III, a radiation oncologist at UCSF Medical Center, is an internationally renowned expert in the treatment and management of prostate cancer. His research includes new therapies such as 3-D conformal and intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) as well as brachytherapy for prostate cancer. Roach chaired one of the most important clinical research trials comparing different strategies for locally advanced prostate cancer.

Oakland's Dr. H. Geoffrey Watson, discussed the top 10 health problems affecting black men and ways to combat them.
