This session is a presentation by Pediatricians Against Racism and Trauma (PART), a group of more than 80 pediatricians from across the United States trying to fight racism, bias, discrimination and hatred as it impacts children and families. While structural racism and bias exist throughout society, racism is also "baked into" medicine itself, including pediatrics. This session will bring national leaders and experts together to bring the various aspects of racism in medicine and medical education into focus and suggest ways we can move towards being anti-racists in clinical care and medical education. The session will have the following topics: 1. The norm of whiteness in medicine and medical education; 2. Racial-ethnic inequities in clinical care due to implicit and explicit bias; 3. The inappropriate use of race in clinical algorithms or as a risk factor for outcomes, with the implication that race is a genetic biological trait rather than a social construct; 4. The problematic experiences of URiM students and trainees, including bias in grading, low social capital/belonging (isolation), exposure to microaggressions, and having to deal with cultural differences in performance expectations. Finally speakers will bring these issues together with possible solutions to move pediatrics and pediatricians into being anti-racist.
