Anti-racism and anti-oppression frameworks of practice are being increasingly advocated for in efforts to address racism and oppression embedded in mental health and social services, and to help reduce their impact on mental health and clinical outcomes. This literature review summarizes how these two philosophies of practice are conceptualized and the strategies used within these frameworks as they are applied to service provision toward racialized groups. The strategies identified can be grouped in seven main categories: empowerment, education, alliance building, language, alternative healing strategies, advocacy, social justice/activism, and fostering reflexivity. Although anti-racism and anti-oppression frameworks have limitations, they may offer useful approaches to service delivery and would benefit from further study.

Purpose: There is a pressing need to address all forms of anti-oppression in medicine, given systemic harm and inequities in care and outcomes for patients and health care professionals from equity-deserving groups. Revising definitions of professionalism used in competency-based education can incorporate new professional competencies for physicians to identify and eliminate the root causes of these inequities. This study redefined the CanMEDS definition to centre perspectives of equity-deserving groups.

Historically, nursing education's foundation has been framed by colonial practices of whiteness, which serves as a fulcrum for oppression, Western epistemic ideology, racial injustice, and health inequity. As a microcosm of the broader academy, nursing education must pivot to dismantle practices impeding the advancement of the profession and move to decolonize processes of professional edification. Decolonization is not a metaphor; it requires unlearning the deep socialization of Eurocentric perspectives embedded in nursing education and relearning in a new, inclusive manner that embraces historically marginalized knowledge systems and experiences.

Health professional learners are increasingly called to learn about health inequity to reduce inequities and improve patient care and health outcomes. Anti-oppression pedagogy (AOP) addresses the need for health professional learners to understand multiple health inequities and the structures and systems that produce inequities. However, the inclusion of AOP in health professions education varies and there is a lack of clarity in its conceptualization and integration.
