  • Achieving Antiracism in Medical Education

    Transforming the Culture
    • 1st Edition
    • Leona Hess + 2 more
    • English
    **Selected for 2026 Doody's Core Titles in Medical Education**Systemic racism profoundly affects the medical education work and learning environment, from the staff and faculty who are the backbone of every medical school, to what and how medical students are taught, who teaches them, and how they are supported and evaluated. Achieving Antiracism in Medical Education addresses the underlying root causes of racism in medical education— its culture, values, and mental models—and offers practical, real-world strategies for transforming its culture instead of merely reacting to crises and solving discrete problems.
