Description: 
This presentation is part of the 16th Annual MLK Health Equity Celebration. The two main themes of the talk are: Teaching race-based medical decision making & a social determinants of health approach to healthcare are diametrically opposed, and, paradoxically, while rethinking race-based medicine, we can use biological determinants of health to reinforce the importance of social determinants of health. 

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.
