Racism in Medicine: Physician Survey Findings

In the fall of 2023, the Saskatchewan Medical Association’s Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan’s Diversity and Bias Committee conducted a joint survey to gain a better understanding of the experience of racism within the medical profession in Saskatchewan.

While there are many results that can be extracted from the survey, this report focuses on the key questions addressed in the survey: Is racism an issue among physicians, residents, and medical students in Saskatchewan?

The Saskatchewan Medical Association is committed to equity, diversity and inclusivity in our governance bodies to reflect the diverse physician population in Saskatchewan. Our physicians and patients include people of different racial backgrounds, ages, genders, spiritual affiliations, and modes of practice. Click here to learn more.
