Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review is to identify and evaluate systemic racism interventions in academic medicine. Methods: Studies were identified through the use of the PubMed database, using the keywords ‘systemic racism’ and ‘academic medicine’. Of the 18 publications generated, 6 highlighted systemic racism interventions. Results: Ultimately, 6 studies were selected in this review including multiple interventions: virtual training modules, a department wide cultural competency curriculum, a hospital-wide breastfeeding initiative, and a fellowship program for underrepresented minorities interested in surgery. Conclusion: The findings of this systematic review indicate a dearth of systemic racism interventions. While the data is limited, there is some evidence that department/hospital-wide commitments, virtual curricula, and programming/mentorship directed at underrepresented minorities (URM) in medicine may be effective tools in combating systemic racism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
