Towards Health Equity: Dismantling Racist Barriers for Black Healthcare Students
Black students have played a pivotal role in pioneering programs and in pushing their institutions to act in ways that move towards health equity. This student-led session will illuminate diverse perspectives, building from understanding history, about ways institutions can enact a clear “action agenda”, including concrete opportunities and responsibilities, through which everyone concerned about these issues can see ways to promote action to accelerate long-overdue progress.
This session is part of a series in honor of Black History Month, co-sponsored by Harvard Medical School Center for Bioethics and the Tuskegee University National Center for Bioethics in Research and Health Care. The series of events exams the history of racism in health care, its impact on Black individuals and the Black community, and gathering solutions for a healthier future from experts and thought leaders in history, health policy and law, social justice, and public health and medicine.
