Saleem Razack

MD

Investigator and Pediatric Intensivist, BC Children's Hospital

I have always been interested in studying the processes of education in health professions programs, such as medical doctor (MD) programs. Specifically, I work to understand the best practices in education that result in better care for diverse and structurally marginalized populations. This work has included studying admissions barriers for diverse students entering into medical school, analyzing curricula for health equity and anti-racism, and examining the process of professional socialization and identity formation for diverse learners. I have used both quantitative (statistical) and qualitative (critical discourse analysis and hermeneutics) methods in my work. I seek to link the understandings gained through research to educational policies for greater social justice.
