“Nothing short of transformational change” - that’s what Betial Asmerom, a 4th year medical student, is expecting from academic medical institutions in terms of implementing anti-racist policies and procedures. Dan and Lauren talk with Betial about how race has impacted her time as a medical student, and how trainees are leading the way toward making medical education anti-racist.
