We’re All In. Are You?
We are a school that actively addresses racism and bias in education, healthcare, biomedicine, and research. We need to continue to do this together.
At the 2023 We’re All In social we debuted a few projects that are happening in medical and graduate education. Explore, and be a part of the change.
Medical Education RBI
Since 2018, the Racism and Bias Initiative’s (RBI) guiding coalition has launched over 30 unique change targets across all functional areas of the medical school to support the vision to become a health system and health professions school with the most diverse workforce, providing health care and education that is free of racism and bias.
This year we are trying something new by offering a range of opportunities for the medical school community to get more involved.

Graduate Education RBI (gRBI)
The Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (GSBS) at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is currently offering a host of ways to participate in the Change Now movement.
Become a Member of the Guiding Coalition
The Guiding Coalition of the Racism and Bias Initiative at the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (gRBI) is a group of enthusiastic change leaders that is working with the Center for Anti-racism in Practice (CAP) to dismantle racism and bias within the research and learning environment. The new Center for Anti-racism in Practice (CAP) guides GSBS anti-racism strategy using a multi-phased change management approach that was rolled out in the medical school (also known as the Racism and Bias Initiative) and is now being introduced at 11 medical schools across the country.
Contribute to the GSBS Change Targets
With the work of leadership, The Center for Anti-racism in Practice (CAP), and the Guiding Coalition of the Racism and Bias Initiative at the Graduate School (gRBI), we are prepared to take the next steps in the anti-racist transformational change strategy: Creating Change Targets.
The Change Targets is an incremental desired outcome or end result of the Guiding Coalition’s actions that strategically leads the school towards the Racism and Bias Initiative’s goal of promoting equity in the research and learning environment.
Attend the Data Walk
In partnership with GSBS leadership, we’re prepared to take the next steps in the anti-racist transformational change strategy: Creating Change Targets. The Change Targets, or strategic incremental goals, will inform what needs to change, and will require the investment and understanding of each and every member of GSBS of our shared why.
To start this conversation, the gRBI Guiding Coalition invites members of the Graduate School community to attend an interactive data walk that will reveal the GSBS project community map, demonstrating anti-racist projects underway and identify needs across the school. Participants will have an opportunity to reflect and identify what the change should be. We invite all members of the GSBS community—faculty, staff, students, and post-docs to attend at any time and stay as long as you like. RSVP to join on September 14 from 3-6 pm.
