Recent events have once again put a spotlight on 400+ years of racism that has deeply entrenched our everyday structures, notably healthcare delivery. There is a significant need to provide a deep skillset to learners who have significant potential to change this system towards equity. Reducing racial and ethnic health disparities is core to the mission of public health. The healthcare delivery system contributes to these disparities in unique and complex ways. In this MOOC series, we will learn about the sociological contributions and historical backdrop of why racial inequities exist in healthcare. We will also critically analyze the various causes of racial inequities in healthcare. And lastly, we will go through approaches to achieving equity in healthcare.

A wealth of knowledge and resources on the subject of inequity in healthcare. Resources are relevant and definitely up-to-date as more information becomes available. Great combination of learning formats as well. Highly recommended.

This course is off the rails. Unless you can listen at a wildly accelerated rate or plan to pause every two seconds, skip. You also only get two tries per quiz to keep up with this chick's insane word vomit SO GOOD LUCK
