Perspectives of health, and human and social sciences professionals on student transformation regarding racial discrimination in healthcare.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundRacial discrimination in medicine covers topics such as the impact of racism on health, implicit biases, or the history of medicine and the involvement of the healthcare system in maintaining discrimination. However, teaching and training in the French medical curriculum are still relatively nonexistent and nonhomogenized. The aim of this study is therefore to examine the perspective of health professionals and human and social scientists on pedagogy aimed at transforming medical students on the subject of racial discrimination in health.
methodsPhysicians, psychologists and researchers in the humanities and social sciences, having published on the subject of medical care for people from racial minorities and having organised or taken part in courses were recruited. Semistructured interviews were conducted and analysed via thematic content analysis.
resultsTwenty participants were interviewed. Emerging themes were: Moving away from neutrality by exposing realities and exposing students to new identifications; Breaking out of neutrality by exposing yourself as an educator; and Moving Away from neutrality challenging relations of domination in a system in crisis. DISCUSSION: Our findings suggest the need to spell out the realities and remove taboos before awareness can be raised and the process initiated; the importance of storytelling and the hierarchical example in encouraging people to speak out; and the need to take account of the complex context in which this demanding decentring takes place.
conclusionsChange and awareness are accompanied by a variety of feelings, but discomfort, shame and uncertainty can be foundational feelings for antiracism education in medicine. Providing theoretical input on the reality of discrimination, contextualising from a historical point of view, present testimonials, carrying out clinical supervision, and helping to metabolise all this learning through simulation: with this in mind, the aim of this work is to create educational content for French medical students on racial discrimination in medicine.
