Introduction

Attn: Deadline Extended- The process of teaching content associated with health disparities can be difficult. Current literature often uses stereotypes and biases to create patient cases that reinforce the implicit notions that create these health inequities. The authors aim to utilize the Physician Cultural Responsibility framework, that inspires introspection, identifies biases, and assists learners in doing the difficult work of providing truly equitable care, to create innovative teaching cases that do not perpetuate harm.

Objective

This publication will provide material for instructors teaching health equity to medical students and students of other health professions. Rather than focusing on identifying factors that contribute to health inequities, this publication strives to inspire a deeper application and reflection of the practices needed through the utilization of the Physician Cultural Responsibility framework. This book will incorporate cases around multiple different areas of identity, utilizing PCR as a method to provide equitable care, as well as identify ethical issues, highlight physician biases, and the impact of physician burnout. Each chapter will feature a different area of identity, health disparities, and the impact that oppression has had on this patient population. Authors will then highlight teaching points through a series of relevant cases that will defy stereotypes and highlight pitfalls in current medical practice.

Target Audience

This book will be most useful for those who are in the health professions.
