We strive to deliver a collaborative, interprofessional, and inclusive medical education that ensures our graduates always work in respect, in partnership, and in service of their patient communities. We recognize that a physician is not sufficient to offer the best care possible to patients. To do this, physicians work hand in hand with their communities, other healthcare workers, researchers, and most importantly with patients and their families. While multiple initiatives have been included in the MDCM Program to foster knowledge, skills, and attitudes in the domains of cultural sensitivity and interprofessionalism, some areas remain ill-defined in our curriculum. Thus, to advance our collaborative work with our communities, we must achieve the following objectives: |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Objective 1 Define the concepts of communities that we use and apply in our educational program |
Objective 2 Recognize the impact of environmental racism on patients鈥� care and outcomes and the roles of physicians, communities and healthcare system in this dynamic |
Objective 3 Determine the framework in which we teach these concepts and how they affect the cultural sensitivity training that the program includes |
Objective 4 Ensure that our trainees are trained to offer culturally sensitive and inclusive care to all patients, independent of their origins or beliefs, by providing general and specific skills towards communication with specific patients鈥� population. |
Objective 5 Review our admission processes, including our MMI, to ensure that they align with our defined approach to communities |
