Abstract
Racism exists in health care and education, impacting outcomes for individuals and populations. Many nursing programs do not comprehensively address racism, leaving students and faculty unprepared for how to recognize and/or confront it. Here, we present our efforts to address racism through ongoing dialogue in our school.
