Racism and Racialized Health Disparities [DEI Workshop – FREE to Members] – (Online Classroom)

This informative workshop offers an overview of the levels of racism, racialized health disparities, and their social, historical, and political causes. Participants will learn the different ways racism is operationalized, discuss racism as a fundamental cause of health disparities, and explore the pathways that connect racism to poor health outcomes.
