<p>This research project is focused on analyzing how United States medical schools are curating their curricula to address the rising concern of the maternal health crisis, with a critical focus on the discrepancies affecting Black mothers in particular. Maternal mortality rates for Black women are significantly higher than those of White and Hispanic women, and this is an urgent and serious crisis that requires immediate attention and resolutions, and with our research, we hope to explore areas of improvement needed in medical education to address this discrepancy.</p>
