Challenging Race
-Based Medicine in Practice Webinar
Presented by the OH AFP
Online Registration
Race is a historically rooted, social construct that
categorizes people based on basic physical characteristics, assumed geograp
hic ancestry, and patterns of behavior. Using race as a proxy for biology i
s a dangerous shortcut when making medical diagnoses and care recommendatio
ns, which ultimately can lead to racial health disparities.
This
webinar will be moderated by Roma Amin, MD, and will help learners underst
and the origins of race-based medicine, the implications of conflating race
with genetic ancestry, identify the racist underpinnings of many commonly
practiced treatment plans and diagnosed diseases, and set a plan for meanin
gful change that will help advance true health equity.
