@LeftOfBlack and Mark Anthony Neal have shared this article from @WordInBlack about students pushing for antiracist curricular change at their institution.
Specifically, medical students at Mount Sinai Icahn School of Medicine are advocating for medical education that focuses on the histories and present realities of inequitable and segregated medical care. Their focus has been on insurance inequities, with a broader focus on segregated health care for racialized individuals.
While this @WordInBlack article has provided a summary, the student activists behind this initiative have written their own peer reviewed article about the Segregated Care Student Workgroup they founded and the ways in which this workgroup ensured that the issue of segretated health care was one that all students were exposed to.
See the graphic below for the curricular opporunities they created to introduce and explore this issue with medical students.
Learn more about this work from their article as well as this quick audio interview with one of the authors from January of 2023.
