AADS 2090 - Black Health Disparities

Racial inequalities in healthcare have real-world implications that can shorten life expectancies and cost BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) their lives. This course explores the causes of racial inequalities in medicine and healthcare. Students will learn the historic framework of medical mistreatment of BIPOC communities; they will explore the multiple dimensions of access to care, and how that access creates modern racism in healthcare; and they will study the role of implicit bias in contributing to health disparities.
