STFM Antiracism Learning Collaborative Draws to a Close With Keynote Speaker, Project Presentations and Graduation
September 27, 2023—Dyads participating in the STFM Academic Family Medicine Antiracism Learning Collaborative completed their 21-month training and project implementation with a full-day session in St Louis on September 10. The September session included a keynote presentation by Bonzo Reddick, MD, poster presentations, Ignite presentations, and a graduation ceremony.
The Academic Family Medicine Learning Collaborative is an IRB-approved study, designed and led by the STFM Antiracism Task Force, to measure the effectiveness of training and implementation of various projects and strategies to:
- Empower and educate participants so they will identify racist structures and behaviors within their academic institutions and become leaders for change
- Promote allyship
- Spread effective change strategies
Between January 2022 and September 2023, dyads attended two full-day in-person sessions and five virtual sessions and worked on projects to reduce racism within their institutions. Each pair was assigned a mentor who provided guidance and expertise.
Dyads presented the impact of their individual projects at the September meeting. The impact of the Learning Collaborative is being evaluated by the Robert Graham Center, and results will be published and presented over the coming months.
This Antiracism Learning Collaborative is supported by a grant from Adtalem Global Education Foundation.
