When health professions learners’ primary pedagogical experience of Black people and how they become patients is through statistics, it becomes very easy for learners to think of Black people as data points rather than as individuals whose health is often at the mercy of racist institutions. When the human dimension of Black people’s health is ignored, specifically the ways that poor health affects individual wellbeing, one of the barriers to proper health for Black patients is how to be seen and considered as a part of a larger problem of systemic racism and institutional injustices as well as individuals whose personal lives are affected by such larger problems. I propose an approach to health professions pedagogy—the experiential race testimonies (ERT) approach—that can change the way health professions learners understand and treat Black patients, thus changing the future of Black health. The ERT approach pairs population data analysis with analysis of personal testimonies and the experiences they convey.

当卫生专业学习者对黑人的主要教学经验以及他们如何成为患者是通过统计数据时，学习者很容易将黑人视为数据点，而不是健康状况经常受到种族主义机构摆布的个人。当黑人健康的人性维度被忽视时，特别是健康状况不佳影响个人福祉的方式时，黑人患者获得适当健康的障碍之一就是如何被视为系统性种族主义和制度性更大问题的一部分。不公正现象以及个人生活受到此类更大问题影响的个人。我提出了一种健康专业教学方法——体验式种族证词（ERT）方法——可以改变健康专业学习者理解和治疗黑人患者的方式，从而改变黑人健康的未来。ERT 方法将人口数据分析与个人证词及其传达的经历分析结合起来。
