Integrating Health Equity Content Into Health Professions Education
Alden Landry
Abstract
Health equity is a common theme discussed in health professions schools, yet many educators are wary of addressing it. Avoidance of health equity content in health professions education leads to student frustration and missed opportunities to educate the next generation of health care professionals about sensitive yet important issues. Moreover, this gap in students' knowledge can negatively influence patients and perpetuate disparities.
