Does a person’s race affect the type of medical care they receive in the US? In this cluster, we investigate where ideas about race originate from, and how these ideas influence health care and public health today. We learn about the impact of racism on the health of people from racially marginalized groups. We also explore how we can work towards more equitable and just health care for all.

Research has shown that cultural competence training improves the attitudes, knowledge, and skills of clinicians related to caring for diverse populations. Social Justice in medicine is the idea that healthcare workers promote fair treatment in healthcare so that disparities are eliminated. Providing students with the opportunity to explore social issues in health is the first step toward decreasing discrimination. This concept is required for institutional accreditation and widely publicized as improving health care delivery in our society.
A literature review was performed searching for social justice training in medical curricula in North America.
Twenty-six articles were discovered addressing the topic or related to the concept of social justice or cultural humility. The concepts are in accordance with objectives supported by the Future of Medical Education in Canada Report (2010), the Carnegie Foundation Report (2010), and the LCME guidelines.
