A family doctor who helped create an anti-Black racism course for health professionals says she hopes participants will “unlearn” long-standing discriminatory practices that contribute to inequitable care for a vulnerable group.
Dr. Onye Nnorom, co-founder of the Black Health Education Collaborative based at the University of Toronto and Halifax’s Dalhousie University, said the online course, to be launched Thursday, addresses gaps in medical education by exploring how everyday systemic biases affect the health of a diverse community.
