Teaching About Health Disparities, Race, and Racism

Hugo Carmona, MD;  Geneva Tatem, MD		 Many medical educators want to teach about health disparities, race, and racism but often find it difficult due to either a lack of familiarity with the subject or a lack of strategy for how to address these issues after raising them. Often, we were not taught about these issues during our medical training and so we lack models for how to teach this material. We feel awkward talking about topics that we don’t fully understand ourselves and we worry that we won’t appear to be the expert teacher to our learners. In this workshop, we seek to allay some of the fears and empower attendees to feel comfortable discussing and teaching about health disparities, race, and racism.
Session objectives:
At the conclusion of this session participants should be better able to:
1. Incorporate discussions about health disparities, race, and racism into their teaching
2. Define key terms for discussions about health disparities, such as equality and equity, social determinant of health, disparity, and race.
3. Describe at least one example of a health disparity in pulmonary and critical care medicine.

11:20 AM - 11:55 AM (EST)
Using Technology to Update Your Fellowship

Cait Clancy, MD;  Michael M. Rey, MD

 With Generation Z learners on the horizon, there is an increasing need for PCCM fellowship programs to meaningfully incorporate and capitalize on technology to create dynamic, learner-centered curricular experiences. Medical education adapted rapidly during the pandemic, transitioning to video-based conferences and e-learning platforms. As programs settle into the new normal, there is an opportunity to continue down the path of technologic innovation to approach many of the stickiest problems in PCCM fellowship leadership and administration, including assessment, quality, safety and value education, health equity, and recruitment.
Session objectives:
At the conclusion of this session participants should be better able to:
1. Share an example of a technology-based framework for 360-degree fellow assessment, tied to patient care process and outcome metrics.

2022 APCCMPD Scholarship in Medical Education Research Award
Integration of Succinct Video Podcasts into the Pulmonary and Critical Care Curriculum

Erica Lin, MD		 Technological advancements are rapidly changing the face of medical education with asynchronous learning techniques gaining tremendous popularity over the past few years. As this paradigm shifts from the traditional to virtual classroom, it is essential for clinician-educators to acknowledge the importance of e-Learning in medical education and adapt their teaching methodology to integrate this digitized content. Audio and/or video podcast is one example of this asynchronous learning medium and has been shown to improve knowledge and enhance learning. We hypothesize that augmenting medical education with audio-visual tools will improve learners' knowledge acquisition in a succinct format. For this awarded project, we aim to develop, implement, and evaluate whether a curriculum with audio and/or video podcasts could be easily integrated into a Pulmonary and Critical Care fellowship program. This lecture will discuss the logistics of creating audio-visual podcasts in order to educate postgraduate students on basic outpatient Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine topics.

Session objectives:
At the conclusion of this session participants should be better able to:
1. Discuss the development, implementation, and evaluation of a Pulmonary and Critical Care curriculum with audio and/or video podcasts.
