Start Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2022 12:00:00 EDT

In the context of current U.S. racial justice movements, analysis of racism in medicine within medical education is a critical task for all institutions. To educate the next generation of physicians about racism in medicine and health equity, longitudinal curricular analysis is an approach that can result in identifying an institutions gaps and steps forward to make change.  Through multiple publications, guiding principles for inclusive curriculum design have emerged and are a path forward.
