Equity
Anti-Asian Racism in Healthcare
We aim to understand the impact of racism on Asian Americans in healthcare. Currently, we seek to understand the impact of anti-Asian racism on Asian American medical students.
Behavioral Health Equity
We aim to decrease restraint use, both physical and chemical, in the behavioral health population in the pediatric emergency department. More specifically, we have found that people of color are disproportionately more restrained compared to their white counterparts, so our team is aiming to reduce the disparities of restraint use as well as bring awareness to this issue.
Social Determinants of Health Education
We used quality improvement methodology to increase the percentage of pediatric resident simulations that include social determinants of health (SDH) objectives. We have shown that routine integration of SDH objectives into medical scenarios in a longitudinal resident simulation curriculum was feasible and acceptable to trainees.
