Health Equity Rounds (HER) tackle structural racism and bias through longitudinal cases delivered to residents, faculty and students in a grand rounds format. During this session we will facilitate a mock HER during the lecture—present a case, highlight structural determinants and guide participants to solutions of how to engage patients to develop plans that will have a positive effect on patient outcomes.

Learning Objectives:

Identify and analyze the effects of implicit bias and structural racism in clinical scenarios.
Describe the historical context and role of structural racism and its impact on the health care system.
Use newly learned strategies to combat and reduce the impact of implicit bias on patient care and professional relationships.
