"Integrating Discussions on Racism and Health Equity into Clinical Reasoning Conference” published in Academic Pediatrics | |
|
Academic Pediatrics recently published an article titled, “Integrating Discussions on Racism and Health Equity into Clinical Reasoning Conference,” which was authored by a team of UCSF trainees, faculty educators, and staff.
In the article, the authors describe a model for incorporating discussions on racism and health equity into clinical reasoning conference in the UCSF pediatrics residency program. They discuss the unique experience of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) and white residents who participated in the pilot.
They also share two tools for medical educators to apply an antiracist health equity lens into their teaching. One tool is specifically designed for clinical reasoning sessions. The other tool can be applied to any clinical teaching presentation.
Authors included: Bianca R. Argueza, MD, MPH, Director of HEAR; Elisabeth S. Young, MD, MPH; Laura Deering, MD; Mauricio Franco, MD, MS; Jamila Nightingale, MSW; Paul Irving, BA; April Edwell, MD, MAEd, a Medical Student Coach; and Jyothi Marbin, MD, Director of the UCSF-UC Berkeley Joint Medical Program.
