Systemic racism profoundly affects the medical education work and learning environment, from the staff and faculty who are the backbone of every medical school, to what and how medical students are taught, who teaches them, and how they are supported and evaluated. Achieving Antiracism in Medical Education addresses the underlying root causes of racism in medical education— its culture, values, and mental models—and offers practical, real-world strategies for transforming its culture instead of merely reacting to crises and solving discrete problems.

Key Features

Offers a ground-breaking, five-phase approach to dismantling racism in medical education with a strategy that is broadly transformative, lifelong, people-dependent, and responsive to the world around us
Offers activity-led guidance for medical education—from readiness and engagement through implementation, change management, and sustainability
Provides practical tools and guidance to establish a self-sustaining cycle, including downloadable forms and worksheets
Written by authors who have established a thriving antiracism program at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and schools who have participated in their framework
Includes student perspectives
An outstanding resource for faculty, staff, students, administrators, and leaders in medical education, as well as those in other areas of health care who provide education and training
An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures and references, with the ability to search, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud

Book Reviews

"...focuses on transforming medical education within academic centers, [providing] detailed instructions on the steps necessary to achieve these changes, using the author's experience as an example.... The book does an impressive job of making complex steps appear achievable and implementable for anyone committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) work. [Its] purpose is to encourage clinical educators and leaders within medical education to take critical, sustainable steps towards making their institutions antiracism spaces. It provides explicit instructions, graphs, charts, and activities to accomplish these goals.... specifically written for clinical educators and leadership within academic medical centers.... One of the book's best parts is its innovative approach to making an academic medical center and medical school anti-racist.... an effective tool for educators who want to make change, build community, and sustain change,... [and] could be a real asset for an institution working to create inclusive change." ©Doody's Book Review Service, 2025, Kara Alcegueire, MD (Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center) Doody's Score: 95, 4 stars!
