Improving Health Equity - Antiracist Approaches to Clinical Care

Dr. Brooke Salzman discusses Antiracist Approaches to Clinical Care, which she wrote as part of the free Antiracism Module funded by the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation. She talks about how to recognize and focus on biases; admitting and addressing our own biases, which is a critical step in becoming antiracist; the importance of diversifying the healthcare workforce by including representation, which is an effective way to improve access to care and reduce disparities; interprofessional teamwork; competencies to foster mutual respect; responding to racist patients; the necessity for organizations to have clear policies that protect staff, among other topics.
