Following a 2020 petition, the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences will "provide anti-racism training."

The school's Office of Inclusion and Cultural Enhancement offers a series of "Safe Learning" Workshops and state that "Our workshops help everyone gain a fuller understanding of how a number of issues — including unconscious bias, microaggressions and lack of cultural competence — undermine diversity and inclusion, as well as collaboration."

On September 23, 2022, the school announced, "A new medical curriculum with anti-racism at its core is being designed and implemented at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo."

The school's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Committee is listed under "Resident Committees" and is "comprised of 10-12 residents and faculty members, who are involved in designing curricula on this very important concept affecting our nation at all levels." The committee continues, "With these educational sessions, we hope to bring awareness among our community of racial and implicit biases and the steps we can take to achieve health equity." 

The school's Department of Surgery outlines its Diversity and Inclusion initiatives and stated that the department is "committed to incorporating the issue of systemic racism into our core surgical curriculum" which includes "The introduction of Health Disparities curriculum into General Surgery training" and "Piloting a Longitudinal Health Disparities Elective at Roswell Park."

Following a 2020 petition, the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences "has established Social Justice and Equity Administration Leadership fellowships to help medical and biomedical sciences grad students work on projects that address social, educational or health care inequities via $3,500 scholarships plus travel expenses."

The school's Department of Pediatrics shared a Campus News article published on February 18, 2022 titled "UB to hold panel discussion on critical race theory." The GSE (Graduate School of Education) standing committee for Equity, Diversity, Justice and Inclusion (EDJI) "organized the program to provide context for the challenges society faces related to critical race theory and to offer guidance for teaching and learning about race and racism in K-12 schools."
