Future Healthcare Workers for Black and Indigenous Lives
Contact: fhwbil@mills.edu
The mission of this organization is to actively build ethical, empathetic, and antiracist

necessary to understanding human health. However, none of the required courses address
the structural racism and implicit biases that plague our healthcare system, resulting

We aim to educate ourselves about our own implicit biases and integrate social sciences
into our pre-medical education in order to better understand social determinants of
health and improve health outcomes for all patients.
