Creating and Revising Clinical Curricula through an Inclusive Lens (WA-07)

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) has emerged as an important foundational principle in medical education. Although widely recognized as a need, those planning and providing education often lack practical tools to help develop, create, and evaluate their education through a DEI lens. We developed a DEI resource guide for use in medical education. In this session, we will discuss the process used to create the resource guide and outcomes related to its use. Participants will have the opportunity to practice applying the guide to modify existing curricular materials. They will also leave with resources to aid in developing similar strategies/resources at their home institutions. Participants will achieve the learning objectives through a mix of various learning techniques include brief didactics, small and large group discussion using practice case studies, individual reflection, and game-based learning. This workshop targets planners of educational activities and materials; this would include speakers as well as those involved with broader curriculum development.
