  • Leadership Readiness: Preparedness to lead anti-racism initiatives
  • Self-Reflection: Capacity for critical self-examination and growth

🎓 Masters-Level Academic Framework

Theoretical Foundation

This assessment is grounded in evidence-based theoretical frameworks:

  • Critical Race Theory (CRT): Examines how race and racism are embedded in social structures (Crenshaw, 1989; Delgado & Stefancic, 2017)
  • Implicit Bias Theory: Explores unconscious attitudes and stereotypes (Greenwald & Banaji, 1995; Staats et al., 2016)
  • Cultural Humility Framework: Lifelong process of self-reflection and critique (Tervalon & Murray-García, 1998)
  • Systems Thinking: Understanding racism as a systemic rather than individual problem (Meadows, 2008)

Research Evidence Base

This assessment draws from peer-reviewed research on healthcare disparities and anti-racism interventions:

  • Healthcare Disparities: Smedley et al. (2003) documented systematic differences in healthcare quality based on race
  • Implicit Bias in Healthcare: Hall et al. (2015) found significant associations between provider implicit bias and patient outcomes
  • Anti-Racism Training Effectiveness: Devine et al. (2012) demonstrated that bias intervention strategies can reduce implicit bias
  • Cultural Competency Impact: Betancourt et al. (2003) showed cultural competency training improves patient satisfaction and outcomes
