BLACK HEALTH PRIMER
The Black Health Primer seeks to advance knowledge in and promote dialogue about the critical issue of anti-Black racism and its impact on health
About the project
The Black Health Primer is a course on Black health and anti-Black racism developed for medical and health students, faculty, and educators. The Black Health Primer is a multi-module online resource anchored in critical race theory and will be accessible across Canada in English and French. This course seeks to advance knowledge in and promote dialogue about the critical issue of anti-Black racism and its impact on health. Throughout the course, learners will gain knowledge to support the “unlearning” of anti-Black racism and learning racially just practices and competencies that improve the health of diverse Black communities.
The Black Health Primer will be launched in late 2023.
