Abstract

Healthcare professionals of color have experienced racism from patients and colleagues. Incidences of racism toward these healthcare professionals indicate that comprehensive and unbiased academic content is especially important in education for OT professionals. This study explored how Black OT students are educated on systemic racism and their lived experience within their OT program in the USA and may influence OT academic content on systemic racism. Attendees will discuss recommendations to guide OT programs in creating culturally competent programs that acknowledge, educate, and combat the effects of systemic racism.
