Workshop

Description: Health professions educational programs are responsible for improving health outcomes through training the healthcare workforce. It is important that educational programs intentionally combat systemic racism in all aspects of their programs including through recruitment, inclusive environments, equitable experiences, and antiracism education, to ensure a diverse and adequately trained workforce to meet the needs of the public to whom we are accountable. This workshop will provide important background, opportunities for reflection, and a tool to help assess and guide your program’s anti-racism efforts.

Upon completion of this workshop, participants will be able to identify approaches that perpetuate and mitigate systemic racism in medical education.
Upon completion of this workshop, participants will be able to apply a racial justice assessment tool to your educational program.
