Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

95.5K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

3.8K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Theorizing Race and Racism: Preliminary Reflections on the Medical Curriculum.

Lundy Braun1

  • 1Professor of Medical Science and Africana Studies, Brown University; Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, Ph.D. I would like to extend my gratitude to the organizers, Khiara Bridges, Terence Keel, and Osagie Obasogie, and participants in the symposium on Critical Race Theory and the Health Sciences for their many insightful comments on this paper. I would also like to thank members of the RACEGEN listserv for astute analyses over the years of race, racism, and medicine. Special thanks go to the prolific Jay Kaufman who has shared so many examples of racial essentialism with the listserv.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Health Equity
  • Sociology of Race

Background:

  • Racial capitalism exacerbates health disparities and inequalities in healthcare.
  • Despite decades of research, racial inequality in disease persists.
  • Medical education has not adequately addressed how race and racism shape biomedical knowledge and clinical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the resurgence of white supremacy in medical education.
  • To analyze the role of medical education in perpetuating racial inequality.
  • To advocate for critical anti-racist education informed by marginalized communities' perspectives.

Main Methods:

  • Critical analysis of contemporary medical education practices.
  • Examination of student activism for anti-racist curricula.
  • Theoretical framework integrating Critical Race Theory and the Black Radical Tradition.

Main Results:

  • Medical education's failure to foster critical theorizing on race and racism.
  • Persistence of racial inequality despite research investments.
  • Growing student demands for anti-racist medical education.

Conclusions:

  • A theoretical framework is needed to interrogate race and racism in medical education.
  • Critical Race Theory and the Black Radical Tradition offer tools for this interrogation.
  • Transforming medical education is crucial for advancing health equity.
