PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS FOR HEALTH EQUITY
| A Health Disparities Reduction Project of the American Academy of Physician Assistants, the Physician Assistant Foundation, and Physician Assistants for Health Equity |
PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS FOR HEALTH EQUITY Physician Assistants for Health Equity (PAHE) became recognized as an official AAPA Special Interest Group (SIG) in August of 2009. SIGs are "Informal groups composed of individuals sharing a common goal or interest. SIGs are recognized and approved by AAPA's Constituent Relations Committee." CLICK HERE for complete list of AAPA SIGs. PAHE serves as a resource for information on racial and cultural health care disparities and health inequities. We are dedicated to decreasing disparities in health outcomes and the improvement of health care; to highlighting and discussing the role of bias and stereotyping in unequal treatment of patients; and to developing strategies to increase awareness and decrease the impact of bias and stereotyping on patient care, and improving health equity. PAHE will do this by forming partnerships with and supporting committees, councils, board members, staff, partner organizations, other leaders, and individual members of the AAPA interested in enhancing the equitable care of all patients.
