Description of CME Course
This lecture provides an update on the Massachusetts Medical Society’s (MMS) ongoing COVID-19 response efforts to protect patients, health care workers, and the sustainability of medical practice. The lecture also covers how the pandemic, as well as the protests against racial injustice, have shined a light on the role of racism as a critical determinant of health and well-being for our patients and our colleagues. Dr. Rosman discusses the health and professional inequities that result from systemic racism, what the MMS is doing to work toward becoming an antiracist organization, and how members can get involved. He then takes a few questions at the completion of the lecture to allow physicians to further probe and explore the ways that MMS and we, as individuals, can help address racism in medicine.
