SHOWING ACTIONS FOR

MEDICAL OR NURSING STUDENT

Action Kit Guide
  1. After watching the film, can you recall encountering any racially biased or non-inclusive textbooks or curriculum during your education? Call them out to your school administration for edits or removal.
  2. Take the Racial Equity Pledge and send it to your school administration to ensure that your school is accountable for their part in promoting  equality.
  3. Discover and respond to basic needs in the community. The National Association of County and City Health Officials’ Health Equity and Social Justice program advances the capacity of local health departments to confront the root causes of inequities. Access NACCHO’s searchable database of Health Equity tools in their Toolkit. 
  4. Hosted by the Center of Excellence at Stanford School of Medicine, JUST HEALTH highlights research, challenges and inroads in health disparities, health inequity and social justice in medicine, health and wellness. Consider reading it with your classmates and instructors; and critically think about how you can apply these tools to your future work as a licensed medical professional.
  5. Join the Community Coalition as part of the Not Just A Black Body campaign, and learn about policy transformation.
  6. Students of color are more likely to experience discriminatory comments and public humiliation during their medical training. Medical schools and hospitals need to enforce serious disciplinary measures for such behavior, while ensuring that students who complain are not labeled as “troublemakers.” Be a troublemaker and complain and raise your voice when you see such behavior in your classroom or learning facilities.
  7. Most medical textbooks still depict mostly white skin tones. Complain to your school’s administration and demand more diversity in your medical curriculum.
  8. Take these concrete steps to fight racism in healthcare and urge your colleagues to do the same.
  9. Read and share this article on Confronting Racism in Healthcare by the Commonwealth Fund.
