Event Details:
This session brings together a panel of patients who have faced moments of not being heard, not being seen, or experiencing bias or inequity in healthcare because of who they are. The first 45 minutes will center on their stories, not to dwell on the negative, but to illuminate real situations where care may not have been equitable or just. The goal is to create space for honest reflection and shared understanding. After the panel, the next 45 minutes will shift into reflective and interactive work. Participants will explore “Repair-oriented, perspective-shifting or insight-building” approaches, role-playing scenarios, and collaborative brainstorming focused on how these moments could have been handled differently. The emphasis will be on growth, building a mindset that welcomes learning, humility, and continual improvement so future providers can create environments where every patient feels seen, heard, valued, understood, cared for, and safe.
This workshop is part of the Cross-Cultural Clinical Professional Development Series.
Audience:
Students pursuing pre-health professional pathways (medicine, dentistry, physician assistant, nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, etc.) and public health students preparing for careers in community or clinical settings.
