Ambulatory Health Equity Sessions: Addressing Gender Diversity In and Out of the Clinic Room

As a tactic of the FY24 True North Learning Health Systems pillar, the Ambulatory Health Equity Workgroup has organized virtual, educational sessions that aim to address Health Equity knowledge gaps for Ambulatory faculty and staff. The sessions will feature various UCSF health equity subject matter experts. Attendees will hear from these leaders on a range of topics including social drivers of health and health disparities, race/ethnicity, gender identity, payor bias, language-based inequity, and more. Attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in discussion with the subject matter experts, as well as one another. The goal of these sessions is to address and improve healthcare equity and cultural sensitivity within our clinics for both the patients and each other.   

The next session is scheduled for Friday, May 3rd at 11:10am with UCSF Speech Language Pathologists, Sarah Schneider and Desi Gutierrez. It will focus on gender diversity in and out of the clinic.
