Hello Everyone! Join us for Diversity Week planned by BMA, IJI, and the Learning Communities!
While the topics of racism, discrimination and institutional injustices are complex and can be uncomfortable to discuss, these issues and topics influence our patient population and the way we practice medicine. The emphasis on social determinants of health and the influence of racism and discrimination in medicine is a growing topic. Coming from Detroit, a center for ‘urban excellence,’ comes with a greater expectation of experience with these topics in real time!
