The iCare program prepares members of the school community to lead action and conversations to address systemic racism and race inequities. While this series is open to all members of the IU School of Medicine community, the target audience is non-minoritized people or those whose identity is connected with the larger white racial group.

- Sessions are held over the course of 8 weeks, meeting once weekly.
- Sessions are organized into two groups: faculty/staff and trainees (medical students, graduate students, residents, fellows and postdoctoral fellows).
- Participation is limited to 25 individuals per group.
