The Liaison Committee on Racial & Social Justice in Medical Education (RSJME) is a student-led committee established in response to Tulane University School of Medicine’s (TUSOM) Call to Action, denouncing the murder of George Floyd and our country’s extensive history of racial and social injustice. Since its inception, the committee’s primary aim has been to work, with the TUSOM Curriculum Committee’s support, to enhance education in racial and social justice across the curriculum by reviewing curricular content, providing feedback, and offering recommendations. Collaborating with faculty, we have worked tirelessly to initiate curriculum change and implement policies striving for an equitable medical education to eliminate racism in medicine.
