This article provides fourstrategies for how individuals and institutions can engage in anti-racism allyship: (1) be an upstander duringmicroaggressions, (2) be a sponsor and advocate for physicians of color, (3) acknowledge academic titles andaccomplishments, and (4) challenge the idea of a ??standard fit?? for academic faculty and research. Skills in aca-demic allyship should be taught toallphysicians throughout the educational continuum to mitigate feelings ofisolation that racialized minority physicians frequently experience.
