Dr. Laura Olsen will review the historical and contemporary manifestations of racism in medicine while focusing on two central themes, both of which Dr. Olsen will situate historically and then trace into the present: 1) the formation and maintenance of the profession; 2) knowledge production and application in the clinic.
Advancing Health Equity with Medical Humanities, a Gold Human Insight Webinar Series with NYU Grossman School of Medicine, is a Gold-NYU collaboration that spans 10 sessions, all of which offer CME credit and dialogue on the timely issue of health equity across the healthcare ecosystem.
