About the Journal Club

The purpose of this journal club is for CMS faculty, researchers, staff and learners to become more knowledgeable about the causes and impacts of health disparities, biases in medical education, racism in medicine, and other related issues, in order to become better equipped to engage in clinical, research, and educational activities that bring us closer to eliminating health disparities and inequities in healthcare and medical education.
