Steven-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a rare condition commonly associated with exposure to antibiotics. We have presented the case of a 76-year-old man with end-stage renal disease who had developed SJS after endovascular thrombectomy of hemodialysis access. He had developed epithelial erosions of the mucosal membranes, hemorrhagic bullae to the palmar and plantar surfaces, and erosions of the genitalia. The findings from biopsies of the lip and palm were suggestive of a drug reaction. He developed SJS three times after exposure to iodinated contrast. The one time he did not develop SJS, he had undergone open thrombectomy with no contrast exposure.

Although recent efforts have been engaged to combat bias in medical education, minimal attention has been dedicated to developing antiracism curricula for medical students. We developed a year-long discussion curriculum for 175 first-year medical students centered around Ibram X. Kendis How to be an Antiracist. The discussion curriculum consisted of six, 2 hour seminars. We evaluated students perceptions regarding discussing and actively addressing racism. Students reported an improved ability and comfort to discuss and address racism within healthcare settings. These data suggest that antiracism discussion curricula may be effective for training medical students to address racism in their future careers.
