Equity in health care AMA Ed Hub™ education modules
The American Medical Association (AMA) is committed to inform and educate physicians, health care professionals, health systems and communities on topics related to health equity in order to address and dismantle the root causes of inequities, including racism and other structural determinants of health. As part of this commitment, a series of CME and educational activities are now featured on the AMA Ed Hub™ Health Equity Education Center and curated by the AMA’s Center for Health Equity. These health equity educational resources will equip physicians and other learners with core health equity concepts needed to support them as they continue to take action and confront health injustice.

Featured: Historical Foundations of Racism in Medicine
Racism is a root cause of health inequities—differences in health outcomes that are avoidable, unnecessary and unfair. Yet many people, including physicians, are often unaware that race is a social construct which was created with support from scientific racism. As a result, false beliefs about biological racial differences continue to shape the way that health care is practiced. This interactive module takes learners though the historical social construction of race and the obstacles racism poses for the attainment of health and wellness. This module was developed in collaboration with COVID Black.
