““Implicit bias - our subconscious associations of race - permeates everything that we do. And we must pursue systemic accountability to fix it.”
”
Since 2015, we have led the effort to address unconscious bias in medical education and training.
Our history
RIBMEAT was started by Dr. Paul Kent, Dr. Jeremy Chapman, and Antonio Logan in 2015. Their original study, “Who Lives in UWorld?” was presented at the CGEA conference (see poster under Conferences). In 2017, Asantewaa Ture joined the research team. Drs. Kent and Chapman’s passion for health equity coupled perfectly with Dr. Ture’s interest in social science/health disparity research. We are a collaborative team that is focused on the best ways to educate future physicians to ensure that all patients are given high quality care.

principal investigator
Asantewaa began working on the RIBMEAT project in 2017 when she joined the team as the research project manager. Based on her ability to organize an 8 person research team of undergraduate students, research assistants, and physicians along with her ability to receive two grants for the RIBMEAT project, she was granted the opportunity to become Co-PI of the research study. She has presented research findings at the Student National Medical Association’s AMEC Conference and the American Medical Association’s ChangeMedEd conference. She is completing her Internal Medicine residency and plans to continue conducting research regarding health disparities, health equity, and medical education.

““We can at least try to understand our own motives, passions, and prejudices, so as to be conscious of what we are doing when we appeal to those of others. This is very difficult, because our own prejudice and emotional bias always seems to us so rational”
