Abstract
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.
