"Racism in Medicine: Identifying Barriers and Taking Action" (RSVP here)
Saturday, October 17th, 2015
9 am - 3 pm
Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University
#WhiteCoats4BlackLives
Click below for additional information
On Saturday, October 17th, medical students involved with the WhiteCoats4BlackLives movement in Philadelphia are hosting a conference to discuss barriers people of color face in health care and approaches to better incorporate social justice into medical practice. This is the first interscholastic conference ever organized between the Perelman School of Medicine, Sidney Kimmel Medical College, and soon-to-be the Lewis Katz School of Medicine in order to discuss racism in medicine. Students from Drexel, PCOM, and other local schools are expected to participate as well.

Students are encouraged to attend, but space is limited; you can register here: RSVP. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.

The conference begins at 9 am and will feature a physician panel on social justice in the practice of medicine, lectures on the impact of medical disparities, and breakout sessions on various topics including implicit bias, last spring’s Baltimore protests, access and barriers to healthcare for Trans*/Queer people of color, white privilege, microaggressions, and racial consciousness in research. Workshop leaders include our very own Drs. Nora Jones (of the CBUHP) and Melanie Cosby (Associate Director of Diversity and Inclusion)!

Dr. Edith Mitchell, MD, FACP is this year’s keynote speaker and will provide a lecture entitled, “Medicare At 50 Years: Impact on Disparities.” Dr. Mitchell is a Clinical Professor of Medicine and Medical Oncology at Thomas Jefferson University. She holds the positions of Associate Director of Diversity Programs for the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson and Director of the Kimmel Cancer Center to Eliminate Cancer Disparities. She is also the president of the National Medical Association, the parent organization of the SNMA (Student National Medical Association).



#WhiteCoats4BlackLives is a medical student-run organization that seeks to eliminate racial bias in the practice of medicine and racism as a threat to the health and well-being of people of color. To learn more, or join our mailing list, please visit our site: http://www.whitecoats4blacklives.org/


So please join us for a day of open dialogue, challenging topics, and collaboration. Register for the event at this link. If you've any questions, please email Victor Rivera '19 at viriveraz@gmail.com

Thank you--can't wait to see you on the 17th!
