Mark your calendars for the Ohio Academy of Family Physicians (OAFP) live webinar Challenging Race-Based Medicine in Practice on Thursday, April 22, at 7 p.m. This webinar will help learners understand the origins of race-based medicine, the implications of conflating race with genetic ancestry, identify the racist underpinnings of many commonly practiced treatment plans and diagnosed diseases, and set a plan for meaningful change that will help advance true health equity.

This live webinar offers resources for those beginning to learn about race-based medicine, as well as more advanced learners looking for next steps.
