Racism has historically, systemically, and continuously developed and fueled discriminatory practices and rhetoric against racial and ethnic underserved individuals in the United States. Those practices remain embedded in society and institutions, including the healthcare system. Given the long-standing history and ongoing impact of systemic racism, health disparities and inequities result in barriers to care and undermine patient health outcomes. As such, it is imperative to address racial disparities and inequities in health care. It is essential to understand the impact of historical racism, latest evidence on health inequities, and action steps health care professionals (HCPs) should take to pave the way for equitable care guided by cultural humility that will lead to improved health outcomes.
The CME Outfitters Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) phase 1 initiative focused on six key therapeutic areas: maternal health, cardiovascular care, pain management, oral health, dermatologic health/melanoma, and elective surgery. Each of these areas face significant health inequities, leading to increased morbidity and mortality rates among underserved populations. This digital monograph illustrates the impact of the educational initiative on HCP knowledge and competence as well as patient outcomes.
