#NoonConference#meded this was a fascinating case that touched on multiple medicolegal and social themes encountered on the wards--We were also joined by two representatives from our wonderful OHSU social work team @OHSUSOM@OHSUNews
Incarcerated patients, when admitted, have certain considerations, rules, and legal protections that we should keep in mind. Remember, implicit and explicit biases by the entire care team must be carefully considered while administering treatment for this vulnerable populartion,

1/ Curriculum #Medthread about our Global Health Track & Scholars Program!
The OHSU IM Global Health Program endorses a broad definition of #GlobalHealth rooted in interdisciplinary collaboration to promote better health for all
2/ As the program has grown over the years, one of the highlights of the program was a rotation at Scottish Livingstone Hospital in Molepolole, Botswana through our Harvard/Beth Israel Deaconess partnership
We are eager to learn from this #GrandRounds by @OHSU_ID faculty @lstrnad5 and @SikkaMon regarding the overlap between complex bacterial infections and SDOH
Looking at rates of IUD-associated bacterial infection versus other Oregon demographics.
These infections are more common in poorer and more rural areas
Racial disparities also exist in Oregon. Black individuals accord for a disproportionate % of IUD infection related admissions versus the 2% of general population
1/ We are going to start a series of threads, starting with this #tweetorial, to share more info about our program & curriculum. We will collate in a Twitter moment!
First topic—our Social Medicine Curriculum & Block:
2/ Why is this such a valued part of our residency program curriculum for > a decade?
Healthcare & health outcomes are about far more than just access to medical care and treatments. Social determinants of health (SDoH) are crucial to these outcomes
3/ Our Social Medicine curriculum includes an ambulatory block rotation & longitudinal learning across 3 years
We aim to:
⬆️resident knowledge of health disparities & system gaps
⬆️sociocultural awareness of SDoH
✅provide culturally responsive care for stigmatized patients

We’re proud to see residency training programs like @UofMPesRes stand up for health, justice, and the safety of their trainees and their community on. 1/x
In this week’s case, this means speaking out against racism. Too often, speaking up for justice and safety of human beings means speaking out against racism. 2/x
