How to Measure Racism in Academic Health Centers
Abstract
Institutional racism is a set of practices and policies that disadvantage individuals not part of societies' dominant groups. In academic health centers (AHCs), institutional racism mediates structural racism; it is embedded in institutional policies, clinical practice, health professional training, and biomedical research. Measuring institutional racism in AHCs at the individual, intra-organizational, and extra-organizational levels renders visible how AHCs mediate structural racism by implementing policies that unfairly treat minority groups.
