Kaytlin Reedy-Rogier, a St. Louis social worker who co-leads a health equity and justice curriculum across two medical schools, described its three pillars (structural competency, community engagement and explicit anti-racism), the removal of a sign marking where Black women gave birth in a hospital basement, race-based clinical calculations, and institutional accountability statements. An extended Q&A covered the Delmar Divide, student advocacy, bias and LGBTQ-inclusive care. Fall 2021 series "Unpacking Racism: What Are We Carrying?", co-presented with Diversity Ed.
