Learning Outcome:
At the conclusion of this learning activity, (at least 75% of) participants will be able to discuss race-based medicine through the presentation of one example of racism in medicine, in order to provide a background for the necessary improvement of best practice to better address the overall problem of discrimination in healthcare.
