Towards the Abolition of Biological Race in Medicine: Transforming Clinical Education, Research and Practice
by Noor Chadha, Bernadette Lim, Madeleine Kane, Brenly Rowland
We will not accept an unjust medicine. Change starts with us.
Our current medical/”health” system is violent and unjust. We can no longer tolerate such as the norm. Guided by the values of healing, community, and justice, the Institute for Healing and Justice in Medicine is an interdisciplinary hub - a community, a research epicenter, and a dialogue space.
We center around publishing and uplifting perspectives related to healing, social justice, and community activism, envisioning a new medicine and public health praxis.
We foster space for vibrant dialogue and debate, consciousness-raising, and movement building, seeking to sharpen our collective and develop methods to critique structures of power in medicine through community scholarship and solidarity.
Since our launch and beginning in May 2020, we have engaged 3,000+ people from 300+ institutions all over the world to partake in our initiatives. We achieve our mission through (1) interdisciplinary research working group initiatives, (2) a peer-reviewed publication, (3) a justice resource hub, and (4) community healing gatherings.

“Race is not a biological category that naturally produces these health disparities because of genetic difference. Race is a social category that has staggering biological consequences, but because of the impact of social inequality on people's health.”
— Dorothy E. Roberts
