The national (even global) discussion about racism in medicine has evolved significantly in the past few years. Important efforts are underway in many areas of health care; efforts that center on previously marginalized voices. Yet is it clear that there is a wide range in our collective levels of understanding and awareness of the fundamental and ongoing presence of racism and white supremacy in our society, in general, and in health care, in particular. The stories in this symposium offer a valuable perspective, highlighting the lived experience of medical students and physicians as they navigate their lives and careers through systems that tolerate and often build upon racism.
近年来,医学领域的种族主义问题在全国(乃至全球)范围内引起了广泛关注。医疗保健领域的许多方面都在做出重要努力,这些努力以以前被边缘化的声音为中心。然而,我们对社会,尤其是医疗保健领域中种族主义和白人至上主义的普遍存在及其持续影响的理解和认识程度存在很大差异,这一点是显而易见的。本次专题研讨会中的故事提供了一个有价值的视角,突出了医学生和医生在容忍甚至常常助长种族主义的体制中生活和职业发展的经历。
