Abstract
The purpose of this pilot project to be offered in partial completion of Oregon Health & Science's (OHSU) Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program is to assess the efficacy of a specific type of anti-racism training for graduate nursing students. The pilot will show how the material is received and determine if it should be delivered to a broader audience. The paradigm to be tested is an educational framework created by Dr. Jonathan Metzl of Vanderbilt University. It is called "structural competency" and approaches racism-related barriers to health equity from an intersectionalist perspective, connecting the dots amongst healthcare, transportation, job, housing, and other inequalities.
