About NAMCC
The National Anti-racism in Medicine Curriculum Coalition was formed to be a diverse group of physicians, scholars, educators, trainees, community leaders, advocates, and researchers who are interested in advancing anti-racism curricula in all healthcare professions. In our society, physicians and other healthcare professionals have an important voice and role to play, so it is critical to equip them with the right knowledge, skills, and attitudes to advance social justice.
By building a model curriculum focused on anti-racism and social justice in medicine, using innovative pedagogical approaches, and building accessible curricular materials, we hope to have an impact across a variety of healthcare settings. Among other initiatives, we are creating a digital, self-paced curriculum and set of virtual experiences that we believe every learner should experience.
Ultimately, our goal is to make anti-racism and social justice a central part of medical education across specialties to prepare healthcare professionals to be anti-racist, culturally responsive, structurally competent leaders, who are equipped to change the culture of medicine and be agents of justice in society.
