APS/SPR Virtual Chat: race, racism, and child health equity in academic pediatrics

Impact Institutional racism exists within Academic Pediatrics within the United States, and it affects our work as researchers, clinicians, and educators. Confronting institutional racism is a challenging life-long struggle for people of all races, but it should be part of the professional mission of all who work in Pediatrics. Creating a path to health equity for children in the United States will involve failure. We should not be daunted by that prospect.
