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.
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/tc… Masthead for our manuscript in The Clinical Teacher, titled 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.

1/ BREAKING from #AMAmtg: AMA HOD just adopted a report by the @AmerMedicalAssn's Council on Medical Education which aims to begin redressing the harms of the #FlexnerReport.

As a Councilor on CME who is invested in health justice, this is a report I am jazzed about. 🧵 2/
 I learned about CME's role as a sponsor of the Flexner Report well before joining the Council, bc the downstream consequences have been huge.

The Report closed 5/7 Black medical colleges, diminishing the projected # of Black docs today by >35k 👇🏽

1/ @AmerMedicalAssn adopted two resolutions we wrote (CC @glass_heff_full @FaithCrittenden + more).

For the first time in AMA history, we have policy to explicitly & actionably fight for #antiracism in #MedEd, health care delivery, research, & practice.

🧵 from the #AMAmtg ImageImage 2/ First, let's be clear: we passed these policies by standing on the shoulders of giants, & especially women of color.

We cited almost 100 references by scholars including @CamaraJones @DorothyERoberts @zinzinator @DrMaryTBassett @RRHDr @tsaiduck77 @AmakaEMD @IHJM_ & others. ImageImageImageImage

1/ What do #racism & #redlining have to do with inequities in #HIV outcomes?

Our new study just published in #ClinInfectDis examines neighborhood deprivation, race/ethnicity, and HIV viral suppression. Thread 👇🏾

1/ In @OWHnews @OWHopinion this morning, @DrJRMarcelin & I call for racial/ethnic #COVID19 data reporting in Nebraska.

We are currently the ONLY state reporting ZERO state-level demographics. Short thread about why this is a #HealthEquity nightmare 🧵👇🏾

omaha.com/opinion/midlan… 2/ @AmerMedicalAssn's Center for Health Equity has followed state demographic reporting. 46 states currently report race/ethnicity, 49 report age, and 48 report gender.

This is a map on which #GoBigRed #GBR has a less than ideal meaning for Nebraska.

1/ So, today was a big day for @DrJRMarcelin and I. We've been developing curricula on "Structural Challenges & Inequities in Healthcare Delivery" for the @UNMCCOM M1 students as part of the Health Systems Science coil.

Thread on this #MedEd project + today's capstone 👇🏾 2/ With inspiration from @JonathanMetzl & Dr. Helena Hanson's work on #StructuralCompetency, we wanted to assemble a pilot set of experiences that would give @UNMC students a glimpse into local health inequities, from historical & community perspectives:
