| FACULTY: Help your students enhance their awareness of health disparities, and build resources and tools to use in the exam room to decrease and eliminate the impact of unconscious bias on the care of their future patients. Use the AAPA Health Disparities Work Groups "End It!" project to promote discussion of clinician bias on patient care. Join us at the 2012 AAPA Impact 12 Conference in Toronto for a two hour interactive CME presentation titled Making it Personal: Eliminating Health Disparities One Patient at a Time. This special CME event (on Tuesday, May 29 from 8-10am) will feature great speakers, small groups, and point-of-care resources for PAs. Join with CME planners at the AAPA in building awareness of racial and other health disparities in all lectures and projects. Include information about racial, ethnic and community differences seen with conditions or treatment, promote culturally sensitive care, and utilize PAEA resources including the web page for the PAEA Committee on Diversity and Inclusion, which features a broad and updated array of teaching tools. Consider utilizing the Implicit Association Test site from Harvard University to promote awareness of the role of unconscious bias on provider decision-making, a tool proven to decrease the impact of clinician bias. |
