Overview/Context: Metropolitan cities are known to have diversity of race, ethnicity, sex, gender, sexual orientation and religion. One common denominator across this demographic is the right that each person receives competent, culturally sensitive medical care and education in preventive health. This micro-seminar will explore the importance of having diversity of health practitioners in training, so that they are equipped to handle to differing needs of the community.
Outcomes: 1) Understand the role of healthcare practitioners 2) Identify issues that may arise with clashes of sex, gender, religion, ethnicity. 4) Appreciate the complexity of public health and medical education.
Day 1: Topics will focus on Race/Ethnicity, Sex/Gender. Define, then review peer-reviewed journal articles on these topics as it relates to medical education/public health.
Day 2: Topics will discuss sexual orientation and gender. There will be a multimedia/video of how someone's lived experience of sexual orientation in healthcare has led to discrimination. We will then have a discussion of the video. Then we talk about gender, and how the historical roles in medical education and public health have been portrayed.
Audience: Those who are interested in public health, healthcare careers, healthcare law, or social justice.
