Watch this webinar to hear firsthand about lessons learned at one masters level midwifery education program that has developed and improved a curriculum to center race and racism in education and clinical care as part of their commitment to fostering equity and social justice. Come explore why: *Students may not be effective in cultural humility or creating a culturally safe practice until they understand their role in issues of social power and dominant social norms. *Incorporating an in-depth exploration of the impacts of racism, power, and privilege as social determinants of health is a challenging but necessary component of cultural competency training for all health care practitioners. *A lengthy primer may be necessary to orient students to racism, power, and privilege in US society and how these impact health and the provider-patient relationship. *Faculty must be well equipped to address social differences that inevitably arise in the classroom.
