Integrative Health (IH) professional organizations are responsible for advancing health equity and addressing structural racism.
The Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine (AIHM) partnered with the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine to co-create a longitudinal curriculum for its board and staff to address structural racism and health equity in IH.
We administered a 2-phase curriculum addressing health equity in IH. We evaluated the curriculum with pre & post-surveys of knowledge, attitudes, skills, and behaviors and conducted a qualitative analysis of open-ended questions and personal reflections.
Thirty one respondents took the pre-training survey. The mean knowledge scores for each seminar improved. Qualitative analysis revealed that participants grappled with the pervasiveness of racism and bias engrained within health care.
This curriculum serves as a valuable model for IH professional organizations aiming to address their role in disrupting the effects of racism on health outcomes.
综合健康(IH)专业组织负责促进健康公平并应对结构性种族主义。
综合健康与医学学会(AIHM)与迈阿密大学米勒医学院合作,为其董事会和员工共同创建了一门纵向课程,以解决综合健康领域的结构性种族主义和健康公平问题。
我们实施了一个分两阶段的课程,以解决综合健康领域的健康公平问题。我们通过对知识、态度、技能和行为的课前和课后调查来评估该课程,并对开放式问题和个人反思进行了定性分析。
31名受访者参加了培训前的调查。每个研讨会的平均知识得分都有所提高。定性分析表明,参与者努力应对医疗保健中根深蒂固的种族主义和偏见的普遍性。
该课程为综合健康专业组织提供了一个有价值的模式,旨在解决它们在消除种族主义对健康结果的影响方面所起的作用。
