Twelve tips for implementing and teaching anti-racism curriculum in medical education.

ABSTRACT

Racism has implicit and explicit manifestations that perpetuate disparities and negatively influence patient-centered health outcomes. Subsequently, a list of action items was provided to assist medical schools in becoming anti-racist institutions. A deep subject matter knowledge, beliefs, and reflections were a driving force for the management of medical schools or faculty members involved in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education to move forward toward inclusion of anti-racism in traditional medical curriculum or adapting existing training modules on diversity, equity, and inclusion. This paper proposes twelve practical and specific tips for implementing and teaching anti-racism in medical education. These twelve tips elaborate on the proposed actions for leaders in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education, valuable for designing future curricula and educational activities.
