INTRODUCTION
Health disparities among African Americans are an historic and pervasive problem in US health care. We examined the presence, requirements, and content of curricula in US medical schools dedicated to racial and ethnic health disparities.
METHODS
We conducted a national CERA survey of Family Medicine department chairs. Chairs were asked about disparities curricula in their institutions.
RESULTS
Ninety-two percent reported that their medical school curriculum included focus on racial and ethnic disparities. However, many were dissatisfied with the content and quality of their curricular offerings. There were no significant departmental predictors of the quality of health disparities curricula.
CONCLUSION
The majority of medical schools address health disparities in their curricula, but optimally covering this important content remains a persistent challenge in medical school education.
引言
非裔美国人之间的健康差距是美国医疗保健领域一个长期存在且普遍的问题。我们研究了美国医学院校中致力于种族和民族健康差距的课程的存在情况、要求和内容。
方法
我们对家庭医学系主任进行了一项全国性的CERA调查。向系主任询问了他们所在机构中关于差距问题的课程情况。
结果
92%的人报告称他们医学院的课程包括对种族和民族差距的关注。然而，许多人对课程内容和质量不满意。健康差距课程质量没有显著的部门预测因素。
结论
大多数医学院校在其课程中涉及健康差距问题，但在医学院教育中以最佳方式涵盖这一重要内容仍然是一个持续存在的挑战。
