Publisher's Synopsis
Addressing health disparities in medical education is crucial to ensuring equitable patient care and reducing systemic biases in healthcare. Traditional teaching methods often unintentionally reinforce stereotypes, which can perpetuate inequities rather than dismantle them. By incorporating frameworks that promote introspection and cultural responsibility, educators can help future healthcare professionals recognize and address their implicit biases. This approach fosters a more inclusive and ethical medical practice, ultimately improving health outcomes for historically marginalized communities. Cases on Physician Cultural Responsibility, Ethics, and Biases provides material for instructors utilizing Physician Cultural Responsibility (PCR) within the classroom. It encompasses cases around multiple different areas of identity, equitable care, ethical issues, and the impact of physician burnout. Covering topics such as gender and sexual orientation, patient-physician relationships, and stigma, this book is an excellent resource for physicians, medical professionals, social justice advocates, professionals, researchers, scholars, academicians, and more.
