Équité, diversité, inclusivité. Sortir de la blanchité comme perspective pour penser la norme en médecine
Abstract
Modern Western medicine was designed to treat an archetypal patient, the 40-year-old cis white man. Only in 2017 was the Medicine and Gender Commission created in Lausanne, tasked with integrating gender into the disciplines taught at the School of Medicine. The ethnoracial question, however, remains rarely addressed. This article aims to outline how the coloniality of knowledge and racism impact the access to care and the development of subjectivities of racialized people. It proposes integrating an antiracist perspective into medical practice as an alternative.
