This free, virtual course, sponsored by the UR CTSI and Center for Community Health & Prevention, explores how the history of racism has shaped the relationship between doctors/researchers and patients/research participants who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC).
This course is open to University of Rochester faculty, staff, trainees and students as well as community members (typically from community-based organizations). The
course provides foundational knowledge of critical race theory and structural competency. At the end of the course, participants should understand that racism, and not race, causes health disparities. They should also have a clear understanding of why mistrust of the healthcare system and the long history of their exploitation in research, is the primary reason for BIPOC individuals not participating in research studies. Classes will take place on Wed. evenings from 6 – 7:30pm from 3/23 – 5/11. Participants will be randomly chosen and class size is limited to 25 participants.
