PLEASE NOTE: This session has been moved to June 3 at 9-11am CT. The dual plagues of COVID-19 and systemic racism have called into stark view the disadvantages that minoritized families and children face in daily life. As health does not occur in a vacuum, racism and its impact on the social determinants of health (SDOH) contribute to poor health outcomes. The urgent need to address and improve societal inequities is challenging the professional identity of pediatric clinicians, who must seek the knowledge and skill to bring about change. Although academic medicine has not traditionally fought against structural and systemic racism explicitly, there is no longer doubt that pediatricians and other pediatric providers must join in the fight for social justice, racial equity, and resultant health equity. Racism is a public health crisis and medicine must respond accordingly. This session will support Pediatric clinicians who wish to engage in these efforts by sharing the work of three nationally known experts in social injustice, racism and pediatric health.
