Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

91.4K
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...

Ethics in Research

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Bias in Epidemiological Studies01:29

Bias in Epidemiological Studies

633
Biases can arise at various stages of research, from study design and data collection to analysis and interpretation. Recognizing and addressing these biases is essential to ensure the validity and reliability of epidemiological findings.Broadly speaking, biases in epidemiology fall into three main categories: selection bias, information bias, and confounding. A more detailed description of possible biases is:

Surveys02:16

Surveys

15.3K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Systematic Error: Methodological and Sampling Errors

2.2K
In the case of systematic errors, the sources can be identified, and the errors can be subsequently minimized by addressing these sources. According to the source, systematic errors can be divided into sampling, instrumental, methodological, and personal errors.
Sampling errors originate from improper sampling methods or the wrong sample population. These errors can be minimized by refining the sampling strategy. Defective instruments or faulty calibrations are the sources of instrumental...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

2.1K
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...

Summary

Medical education exhibits systemic racism, particularly through standardized tests, failing to increase diversity. A three-pronged approach is proposed to address admissions, medical school, and graduate medical education levels.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Health Equity
  • Social Determinants of Health

Background:

  • The murder of George Floyd prompted a national reckoning with systemic racism.
  • There is a critical need for the medical education community to examine its role in perpetuating racial inequities.
  • Standardized testing in medical education is a key area of concern regarding systemic racism.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if medical education is systemically racist.
  • To analyze the role of standardized multiple-choice examinations in medical school admissions and student evaluation.
  • To propose solutions for addressing systemic racism in medical education.

Main Methods:

  • Commentary and analysis of existing literature and practices in medical education.
  • Focus on the impact of standardized multiple-choice examinations on diversity and admissions.
  • Review of current diversity initiatives in medical student recruitment.

Main Results:

  • Medical education meets the definition of systemic racism.
  • Recent efforts to increase racial and ethnic diversity in medical schools have been largely unsuccessful.
  • Standardized tests play a significant role in perpetuating systemic inequities.

Conclusions:

  • Systemic racism is embedded within medical education.
  • Current diversity strategies are insufficient.
  • A comprehensive, three-pronged approach is necessary, targeting admissions, medical school curricula, and graduate medical education.
