The Office of Healthcare Equity is pleased to share our newest training and educational opportunity: Deeper Dive Discussions. These are facilitator-led follow-up discussions to self-paced foundational training modules and will be held via Zoom. We are looking for volunteers from the UW Medicine community to help us pilot test and provide feedback on these discussions as we prepare to go live with this program early next year. Sessions are one hour long, led by a pair of trained facilitators, with a maximum of 20 participants. To prepare for each discussion, participants are asked to review a 30-minute e-learning presentation of a foundational training topic.        

Available October 30 – December 22nd here.

Free AMA Category 1 CME: Caring for American Indian and Alaska Native Children and Adolescents

The purpose of this course is to give pediatric health professionals an opportunity to understand their role in improving the health status and quality of care provided to Indigenous children and youth. The course will describe the impact of health inequities, historical trauma and social determinants of health (e.g., language, racism, poverty, cultural identity, etc.) on the health of Indigenous children and youth, which often result in health disparities both in childhood and as they grow older. Clinicians caring for this population are often unaware of these factors, which poses a challenge in their practices. Those who participate in this course will learn how to cultivate a culturally safe and effective healthcare environment for their Indigenous patients and their families.

Meet the Office of Healthcare Equity Peer Trainers

From the UW Medicine Huddle:

In 2019, the Office of Healthcare Equity (OHCE) began providing antiracism training, with the goal of reaching every member of the UW Medicine community.

By bringing together subject matter experts in five core equity, diversity and inclusion areas, the small team rolled out training first to leadership groups and then to teams, departments and offices across the system.

“It quickly became apparent that to reach the whole UW Medicine community, we needed more trainers,” says Lee Davis, lead trainer for OHCE.
