Health Equity Medical Education Consults
This consult is for KU School of Medicine faculty to have access to content experts for their curricular questions.
This opportunity is for the School of Medicine faculty who interface with learners at all stages (post-baccalaureate and medical students, residents, fellows and other faculty) to seek guidance in making your teaching more equitable and inclusive. The goal of the consultation is to support inclusive teaching practices and promote reflection on how these indicators are represented in medical education:
- Race and Ethnicity
- Sex and Gender
- Sexuality, Sexual Behavior and Sexual Orientation
- Disability
- Mental Health and Substance Use
- Weight
- Immigration Status, Nationality, Language and Culture
- Poverty and Socioeconomic Status
- Age
- Religion and Faith Tradition
- Incarcerated Persons
- Rural Residence
- Interprofessional Communication
This initiative has been determined to qualify for designation as quality improvement through KUMC Institutional Review Board (IRB).
Have a specific question about your content?
By submitting a request, you are also agreeing to receive a feedback survey. We may also contact you for a face-to-face meeting.
The request is funneled to 2-3 consult team content experts for review. The request will be reviewed for clarity and specificity. It may be returned to the faculty member for revision. The response is provided to faculty within 4 weeks.
This isn't a scoping review of the learning activity. The consultation you will receive will address specific needs/questions and provide an overview and general impression of the content. The consultation response will be framed in 3 parts:
- Consider Changing
- Questions/Wonders
- Missed Opportunities
This review is not meant to be exhaustive or "final" but rather thought-provoking. We encourage you to continue to build, refine, and improve your content. After reviewing the consultation response, if you have additional questions, please contact somfacultydev@kumc.edu.
