SUMMARY:Antiracism Conference Series - Tuesday, March 2nd
DESCRIPTION:
Antiracism Conference Series: Transforming Psychiatric Practice and Our
selves
Tuesday, March 2,
2021 ~ 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.
Via
Zoom Video Conference
This conference series aims to cre
ate a safe and liberated space to learn among majority and non-majority col
leagues led by dynamic speakers and moderators in small group activities. T
he objective is to close the gap in psychiatrists’ knowledge about racism a
s the cause of health inequities as elucidated by researchers, scholars, an
d authors who have been studying the topic for decades. Significant racial
health disparities exist in medicine in general and psychiatry in particula
r whereby Black, Indigenous and Persons of Color (BIPOC) suffer from dispro
portionate rates of illness and death. Much data has linked these inequitie
s to systemic or institutional racism, whereby inequities are built into th
e health, educational, economic, political, and justice infrastructure of o
ur country. The Covid-19 pandemic laid this bare, as BIPOC are suffering di
sproportionate rates of morbidity and mortality in the pandemic. Data also
reveals that for BIPOC who do not suffer from economic or educational disad
vantage, health disparities persist and are linked to chronic stress from e
xposure to discrimination and bigotry to various degrees. An overwhelmingly
White mental health work force has been linked with poorer health outcomes
for BIPOC. As a professional society, we need to ensure that our actions a
re not contributing to structural racism and racial inequities in mental he
alth to the detriment of our patients and colleagues.
