Mini Workshop for Implementation of a Multi-Institutional Health Equity Interprofessional Educational Activity (ADIEM Sponsored)
Due to recently proposed changes to health equity education, health care and interprofessional educators and practitioners are challenged with how to educate and deliver health equity education. Utilizing an educational approach that addresses ethical and health equity issues across professions is critical to prepare the next generation of health professionals for the complex health care issues in society today. While interprofessional education (IPE) is uniquely positioned to address this such a dilemma due to it being grounded in competency areas surrounding teamwork, ethical practice, understanding of roles and responsibilities and communication, this education falls short if we fail to bring an equity lens to the discussion. During this mini-workshop, we will briefly discuss the development of a virtual, high-quality, interprofessional educational activity that highlights health equity practices and allows learners to respond to issues of health equity from individual, interpersonal, organizational, and structural levels. Afterwards, attendees will have the opportunity to view the video activity, interactively walkthrough the case, and participate in case discussion and facilitation. Session facilitators will give insights along the way and describe student discussions that often result from the video.
