Racism and Race: The Use of Race in Medicine and Implications for Health Equity

Proceedings of the Colloquia Sponsored by UCSF School of Medicine

This volume provides a transcript of the meetings on Racism and Race: The Use of Race in Medicine and Implications for Health Equity. The colloquia brought together scholars and experts who differ in their perspectives on how race has been understood and how it could, or should, be addressed in medicine; they questioned how we might do this in a way that achieves the best for our patients and the communities we serve.
