Structural racism disadvantages Black birthing people before, during, and after pregnancy, leading to heartbreaking health inequities for them and their babies. Relationship-centered and culturally-centered care models provide needed support to Black birthing people, making strides on the path towards racial birth equity.

Learning objectives: By the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:
– Identify and describe how structural racism affects reproductive health outcomes;
– Apply antiracist professional practices to the field of health; and
– Evaluate and incorporate values of equity and inclusion in patient interactions.

This is an Office of Academic Clinical Affairs (OACA) event hosted by the Center for Bioethics.

This is a special Ethics Grand Rounds honoring Betsey, Lucy, Anarcha, and all of the other unnamed enslaved Black women who were subjected to abusive experimentation in order to advance the practice of obstetrics and gynecology. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists designated February 28 and March 1 the Betsey, Lucy, and Anarcha Days of Recognition. Promoting health equity requires acknowledging this history as well as recognizing the continuing impact of racism on reproductive health and health care.
