2022 Quality Improvement Symposium

October 11, 2022

The last several years have highlighted the importance of ensuring that science and fact-based objectivity align with the public discourse. A deepening body of literature makes clear the association of bias, discrimination, and injustice as historic contributors to disparities in care and deleterious health outcomes.  This presentation surfaces recent and rooted evidence outlining the critical importance of dismantling the structures responsible for, and that perpetuate, systemic societal inequities including the practice of race-based medicine.

Target Audience

Physicians, Nurses and Allied Healthcare professionals interested in the quality improvement of health care.

Learning Objectives

1.    Recognize the fallacy of race as a biologic proxy.
2.    Identify inequities embedded in clinical practice guidelines.
3.    Define the pathway for moving from race-based to race-conscious medicine.
