The college published its "Anti-Racism Curriculum" which outlines the curriculum in detail for each four years of medical school and includes the following "Global Learning Objectives": "Utilize an intersectional lens to recognize and develop approaches and opportunities to mitigate bias, social inequities, and systemic racism that undermine health and create challenges to achieving health equity at individual, organizational, and societal levels" and "Recognize how privilege, oppression, exclusion, and white supremacy contribute to racism in medicine and develop mitigation tools."

Racism is an urgent public health problem for all."
