What you will learn

  • Course Summary

  • This course will explore some of the core concepts impacting our formation of self-other identity through the lens of race and socio-economic and political dynamics. We will look at ways that we can become aware of foundational, mostly subconscious thoughts affecting our perception of the world through the lens of race and challenge beliefs that sustain racism. We will consider ways through which we can harness this information to support greater equity in health and in the world.
    By the end of this course, learners will be able to:
    • List two ways in which concepts of self-other may impact their own views about patients, colleagues and others in general through the filter of race.
    • Discuss how race as a construct has been used to perpetuate unequal valuation of human life.
    • Identify at least two actions they can take to dismantle subtle racist ideologies and shift towards anti-racist healthcare practices.
    • Discuss the role of mindful awareness in day-to-day life in uncovering and addressing false beliefs impacting perception through the lens of race.
