Anti-Racism Progression - Novice > Intermediate > Expert

Novice

“This is the first time I’m seriously thinking about racism and how it impacts me, other students and my future patients. I haven’t thought much about how I have directly or indirectly benefited from institutional racism (even if I do not believe myself to have played any part in it). I have a limited understanding of history, policy, and the underlying forces driving health disparities.”

Intermediate

“I’ve thought about racism and how it impacts me, other students and my future patients. I’ve considered how I’ve been impacted by institutional racism. I have spoken up when I’ve seen someone else say something racist. I have a general or basic understanding of history, policy, and the underlying forces driving health disparities.”

Expert

“I’ve carefully considered the impact of racism on me, other students, my future patients and the practice and culture of medicine in the United States. I’ve deeply considered how I’ve been impacted by institutional racism. I have a deep understanding of history, policy and the underlying forces driving health disparities.  I’ve not only spoken up when I’ve seen someone else acting in racist ways but advocate for anti-racist policies. I am vigilant in unearthing my implicit biases, walking toward my personal discomfort and becoming a better version of myself everyday. I consider myself an anti-racist.”
