Teaching anti-racism at the bedside: perspectives from patients and clinician educators.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAnti-racism medical education is essential for addressing health disparities and improving patient care. This study examined patient perspectives onengaging in anti-racism discussions at the bedside and explored barriers and facilitators facedby clinician educators when teaching anti-racism concepts to clinical learners. examined patient perspectives on engaging in these discussions at the bedside.
designThis qualitative study utilized focus group discussions withpatients from underrepresented communities and semi-structured interviews with clinicianeducators.
participantsPatients (n = 17) were recruited from a Virtual National Community Advisory Board, comprising patients and clinicians caring for Black patients in Leeds, AL; Memphis, TN; Oakland, CA; and Rochester, NY. Clinician educators (n = 10) were recruited from two academic medical centers in California and Alabama. APPROACH: Patient focus groups introduced participants to teaching scenarios around bias and structural racism in clinical decision making, and invited response and discussion focused on perceived comfort as a patient, provider-patient rapport, and sense of inclusion in the teaching moment. 1:1 clinician educator interviews focused on knowledge of structural racism, experiences discussing anti-racism, and perceived barriers and facilitators when teaching these concepts in clinical settings. KEY
resultsPatients expressed interest to engage in bedside discussions about their racialized experiences, emphasizing the importance of patient narratives in these conversations. Both clinician educators and patients agreed on the importance of including patient stories and voices in bedside teaching on anti-racism. Clinician educators identified significant barriers to teaching anti-racism at the bedside: systemic challenges (e.g. time constraints), lack of structural support, personal discomfort, and fear of retaliation. Facilitators included supportive learning communities and structured curricula.
conclusionsThis study highlights the potential to enhance anti-racism education in medical training by incorporating patient voices into bedside teaching. This approach empowers patients and enriches clinician educators' understanding of relevant racialized experiences. Future research should focus on the practical implementation of these discussions in clinical environments and their impact on patient outcomes.
