Overview
LCME and ACGME mandate the incorporation of health equity into medical education, but there is a lack of established best practices for imparting these crucial principles/skills. This workshop addresses this gap by guiding participants through a discussion of approaches to the implementation of a health equity curriculum (HEC) that can then be tailored to their unique educational, institutional, and community setting. We offer valuable insights garnered from developing and refining a HEC since January 2020 through three distinct iterations. Informed by comprehensive feedback mechanisms including surveys and qualitative interviews, our various approaches involved incorporating residents, which improved resident engagement. Second, community health activists co-created the curriculum to add authenticity and ground experiences locally. The current model now ties health equity to quality improvement projects in response to resident calls for actionable disruption of systems of oppression. Participants will walk away with three distinct curricular approaches that they could use to create/improve their own health equity programs. Finally, we will offer a theoretical framework of critical consciousness by which they can evaluate their program’s outcomes on both individual and systemic levels.Speakers
