Session Description
Race-based medicine occurs when health care professionals use a person's race as an element to define their health. Current examples include the use of the race-based vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) calculator. Racism in obstetrics and gynecology is deeply rooted in present-day practice. The race-conscious approach seeks to reform race-based medicine across clinical practice, education, leadership, and research.
