The Advil Pain Equity Course was developed in partnership with Morehouse School of Medicine and BLKHLTH to equip medical trainees with the knowledge, tools, and resources to understand and address racial health inequities in pain prevention, treatment, and management. By completing the course, learners will have increased knowledge, behavioral intention, and efficacy (confidence) in identifying and mitigating racial biases in pain care as they prepare for a medical career.
