1/💡📝🧵"Building structural competency through community engagement" | @ClinicalTeacher
I tweet often about WHY health equity curricula should center #StructuralCompetency & community voices.
Our new #MedEd paper shows HOW we've tried to make it happen.

2/ My first #MedTwitter foray was sharing this project 👇🏽 in 2019.
Our vision was simple: Moving #MedEd from ahistorical discussions of health disparities ➡️ exploring fundamental causes, centering community voices, and honing in on hyperlocal inequities.

3/ We drew from two main pedagogical frameworks: #StructuralCompetency and community-engaged pedagogy (similar to CEnR/CBPR).
Though "community-based medical education" and "service learning" are widely used, we know these approaches often aren't enough:

4/ A few key aspects made our pilot novel:
✅Non-optional
✅Scaled to entire MS1 class (132 students)
✅Multidisciplinary advisory group of @UNMC faculty + @NebraskaMed leaders + community
✅18 community stakeholders involved w/co-creation & facilitation

5/ Our preliminary findings from the pilot are clear-cut:
Across all three respondent groups (faculty, students, community partners), the most frequently noted strength of the curriculum was direct learner-stakeholder engagement.
Some beautiful quotes from our qual analysis 👇🏽

6/ This project has truly been a labor of love with too many collaborators to thank in one thread.
All of us poured hours into it because we believe structural changes to WHAT we teach + HOW we teach it + WHO we consider "content experts" matter.

7/ And, we hope sharing our experience will help others recognize that even institutions like @UNMC (our then-MS1s were 89% non-URM + 29% from rural areas) can/should move beyond bias trainings & IATs, as @ChristleNwora @MaxJordan_N + more have called out.
