This session uses medical humanities and patient narratives to address the Black perinatal crisis in Orange County. Through documentary screening, discussions, and brainstorming, participants will explore challenges faced by Black birthing patients and develop strategies for advancing culturally competent, patient-centered perinatal care.
People with disabilities, apparent or invisible, are severely underrepresented in medicine - presumably due to pervasive barriers such as ableism (belief that people with disabilities are less valuable), bias, and lack of accessible accommodations. We will describe strategies we have employed at KPSOM to begin tackling some of these issues.
This panel explores anti-racist/anti-oppressive approaches to community-engaged learning. Using examples from various community-academic partnerships, we demonstrate how to prioritize community voice in research and advocacy. Such collaborative efforts are essential for effectively addressing health inequities and driving meaningful systems change.
