 The evidence strongly suggests that race is linked to health disparities in the US, and recent research has shown that implicit bias and structural racism play a significant role in these disparities. Emergency medicine, EM, is uniquely positioned to address these issues, as it is intertwined with social medicine and can develop health equity metrics, monitor disparities, identify research gaps, and implement policies to eliminate racial health inequities. This critical review aims to provide a synopsis of racial disparities in communicable diseases, non-communicable conditions, and injuries, and develop EM practice recommendations for promoting a culture of equity that can improve health care quality and health outcomes.
