Medical education is limited to the biomedical model, omitting critical discourse about racism, the harm it causes minoritized patients, and medicine's foundation and complicity in perpetuating racism. Against a backdrop of historical resistance from medical education leadership, medical students' advocacy for antiracism in medicine continues. This article highlights a medical student-led antiracist curricular effort that moves beyond a biomedical model and uses abolition as the guiding framework in the creation process, the content itself, and iterative reflection through further study and dissemination.
医学教育仅限于生物医学模式,忽略了关于种族主义的重要论述,包括其对少数族裔患者造成的伤害,以及医学在延续种族主义方面的基础和共谋。在医学教育领导层的历史抵制背景下,医学生继续倡导医学领域的反种族主义。本文重点介绍了一项由医学生主导的反种族主义课程努力,该努力超越了生物医学模式,并在创建过程、内容本身以及通过进一步研究和传播进行迭代反思中,使用废除作为指导框架。
