RPrIDE
Residency Promoting Inclusion, Equity and Diversity
In 2017, a group of residents and faculty formed RPrIDE. We recognized that racism is at the core of health inequities and that following through on our commitment to train healers and leaders in primary care meant committing ourselves to the work of antiracism. Since then, we have developed a comprehensive curriculum that includes internal reflection, understanding the history of racism and medicine, recognizing structural inequities in patient care, responding to microaggressions, and building tools to critique the use of racial categories in current practice. Kaiser Permanente Washington Medical Education’s national commitment to antiracism supports many aspects of our program and our approach to care. All residents are invited to participate.
RPrIDE Sub-Internship
Our sub-internship provides the opportunity for visiting medical students from a racial or ethnic background that is underrepresented in medicine (URiM) to develop their skills in Family Medicine and experience the Kaiser Permanente Washington Family Medicine Residency. Students spend four weeks at Kaiser Permanente Washington Medical Education in Seattle in a variety of clinical settings. Each student receives mentorship from the RPrIDE faculty and will be matched with a resident during their time.
Up to three students are selected annually.
Includes a $3,000 scholarship from Washington Permanente Medical Group.
