Transforming Health Education for Black Equity

Creating lasting change in health care by addressing anti-Black racism through new leadership approaches in medical education and competencies.

In this video from our Reimagining Health Care Leadership event, Dr. OmiSoore H. Dryden, a professor and researcher at Dalhousie University, discusses the challenges of confronting anti-Black racism and white supremacy in academic and professional settings.

Dr. Dryden shares personal stories to illustrate the pervasive nature of these issues, including being the only Black person at decision-making tables and experiencing microaggressions such as being asked to prioritize race over gender. She emphasizes the importance of understanding structural racism and the need for leaders committed to anti-racism to address these issues within their institutions.
