Abstract:
The convergence of the major social events of the COVID 19 epidemic and the racial protests around the George Floyd killing spurred many conversations and calls to action for racial justice. The Behavioral Science Forum of 2020 invited a plenary presentation to discuss guidelines for medical education institutions to improve their anti-racism curricula. The plenary aimed to put forward the personal experiences of family medicine faculty contributing to dismantling racism in their institutions. Presenters provided (1) a breakdown of the step by step process of addressing these issues with faculty, residents, and staff, (2) guidelines for improving recruitment and retention of diverse student populations, and (3) small group breakouts and a subsequent discussion forum for participants to bring their experiences into the conversation and develop their personal call to action. The wrap-up discussion and "Zoom chat" yielded emotional responses and specific ideas for participants and other faculty in medical education to do their part in developing anti-racism curricula.
