In this work, we will examine: 1) the discourse(s) that have emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic that highlight population-level inequities, and 2) the implications these discourses have for medical education, the learning environment, and the care patients receive from medical trainees. The archive will be analysed for patterns of how COVID-19 has highlighted, reinforced, or dismantled structural inequity at the population level, emphasizing implications for medical education and learners. As the dialogue shifts from COVID-19's universality to the recognition of the critical impact of structural inequities, a CDA analysis will allow an understanding of the implications for medical learners of normalizing and enhancing teaching surrounding these issues. ./cache/cord-350946-o8eohq9h.txt ./txt/cord-350946-o8eohq9h.txt
