Over the past several decades, the U.S. has shifted from being a country with a large white majority population with impenetrable color lines to a country characterized by its multi and interracial population.
In this lecture presented by Eugenio M. Rothe, MD, Florida International University Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine, we’ll dive into the intersection between racial identity and the immigrant experience, helping clinicians provide more efficient care for this population.
Clinicians will learn how the race of immigrants plays an important role in their acculturation to their host country – and will understand how this knowledge can lead towards a more thorough understanding of the patient, empowering them to provide better care.
Learning objectives:
- Discuss the changing demographics and race relations among the population of the United States.
- Explain how the increases in intermarriage and the growth of the multiracial population reflect a blending of races and the fading of color lines and offer an optimistic portrait of weakening racial boundaries.
- Define the concept of ethnic-racial group-identity-centrality
