DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION & SOCIAL JUSTICE

The Health Professions Advising Office at the University of Puget Sound acknowledges that the structure of healthcare in the United States and beyond has encouraged practices and policies that promote racism. This structural medical racism is rooted in historical, cultural, and societal norms that promote racial group inequality. Historically, racist beliefs regarding biological differences between BIPOC and Whites were used to justify slavery and medical experimentation on persons of color. This false belief in biological differences between BIPOC and Whites continues in medical practice today, contributing to health disparities based upon race.
