Sponsoring Institution’s leadership, and our residency program, are committed to serving our diverse community! As a result the residency program has begun a faculty education series on Healthcare Disparities and Race.

Our book club is currently discussing “So You Want To Talk About Race” by Ijeoma Oluoand. At today’s faculty meeting we viewed the Documentary “Unnatural Causes-Is inequality making us sick?” a seven-part documentary series aired on PBS in 2008, that explores racial and socioeconomic inequalities in health.

In this New York Times bestseller, Ijeoma Oluo offers a hard-hitting but user-friendly examination of race in America

Widespread reporting on aspects of white supremacy — from police brutality to the mass incarceration of Black Americans — has put a media spotlight on racism in our society. Still, it is a difficult subject to talk about. How do you tell your roommate her jokes are racist? Why did your sister-in-law take umbrage when you asked to touch her hair — and how do you make it right? How do you explain white privilege to your white, privileged friend?
