Curricular Injustice, How U.S. Schools Medical Reproduce Inequalities

How U.S. Medical Schools Reproduce Inequalities
Book •
Lauren D. Olsen's "Curricular Injustice" examines the integration of humanities and social sciences in US medical schools.

The book reveals how well-intentioned efforts often fail to address systemic inequalities, instead reinforcing the status quo.

Olsen critiques the ways medical students encounter these subjects, highlighting how systemic problems are often individualised.

The author argues that this approach discourages advocacy and critical analysis of structural issues.

Ultimately, the book offers valuable insights into the complexities of medical education and its role in perpetuating social inequalities.
