Workshop

Description: In 2022, our workshop "Critical Race Theory in Medicine (MedCRT): Origins, Applications, & Future Translation to Education, Clinical Practice, & Research" was well-attended (Fire Marshall had to close admission) and well-received with high ratings on post-workshop survey (overall 4.9/5). Overwhelmingly, workshop participants requested more time and opportunities to practice applying CRT principles to patient care. Therefore, this workshop is submitted by popular demand to focus deeply into applying Medical Critical Race Theory (MedCrit) principles directly to patient-physician interactions, how we care for patients, and how we advocate for them. This will be an interactive, multi-media workshop; participants will use case vignettes and scenarios and current news events to practice applying a MedCrit lens to building patient rapport in racially discordant encounters, documenting complex social situations in the medical record using a critical lens, evaluating patients using an intersectional identities lens, and advocating for patients' needs using a critical analysis of root causes of their inequities. We will provide hands-on activities where participants will examine their own intersectional identities and practice using a critical intersectional lens to view patients, their families, and their circumstances.

Learning Objectives:

Review the basic tenets of Medical Critical Race Theory (MedCrit) and describe how they differ from the traditional Medical Model.
Describe ways MedCrit applies to building healthy patient-physician rapport in visits where there is patient-physician racial discordance.
Apply MedCrit principles to patient clinical evaluations, documenting in the medical record, and advocating for patients' needs.
