Abstract:
The recent resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement has catalysed long overdue discussions around racial and ethnic discrimination, and systemic racism in institutions globally. One area where these discussions are crucial is within the medical field: staff and students from all backgrounds have been lobbying for change. Based on the approach of various faculties, this paper makes recommendations for establishing a race equality working group within a medical school. An evidence-based approach outlines the existing problems, potential solutions and practical advice on how to implement them.
