Mitigating Bias and Advancing Health Equity: Developing a Social Emergency Medicine Curriculum

Описание: Original Title: Mitigating Bias and Advancing Health Equity: Developing a Social Emergency Medicine Curriculum Using Antiracist Pedagogy (ADIEM-Sponsored)

Social emergency medicine curricula are becoming increasingly important, but structured resources and methodologies to guide their development remain scarce. For decades, leaders in higher education have researched and applied anti-racist best practices, which we believe should be foundational in all medical education, especially in the field of health equity. At Brown University’s Sheridan Center for Teaching and Learning, we implemented a comprehensive, two-year curriculum titled "Striving for Equity in Emergency Medicine (SEEM)," designed to address health equity through antiracist principles. This session will share our experience in applying anti-racist pedagogy to create an inclusive learning environment and enhance faculty and resident engagement. We will explore how these strategies have increased awareness of structural and social barriers to health equity, fostered open dialogue on complex issues, and led to a shared sense of responsibility in addressing disparities. Attendees will gain practical insights into how to adapt or develop their own health equity curricula, incorporating lessons from SEEM to ensure it meets the unique needs of their learners. By implementing these antiracist strategies, attendees will be better equipped to promote advocacy for equitable healthcare and create an inclusive and dynamic educational setting.
