Course Highlights

  • Leading experts give keynote presentations and conduct roundtable discussions and experiential workshops

Target Audience

This program is intended for both Mayo and external audiences interested in advancing health equity and diversity and inclusion in health care, including health care providers, social workers, nurses, individuals involved in talent acquisition and development such as hiring managers (HR professionals), supervisors, hospital leadership and administrators, and diversity and inclusion practitioners.

Learning Objectives

  • Summarize the effects of socioeconomic factors, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation and other patient characteristics on health inequities and identify ways to mitigate them in your own practice or organization.
  • Explore solutions to some of the unique issues related to African Americans and women, two groups for whom equity has been elusive in health care settings, both as employees and as patients.
  • Describe the effect of patient and provider biases on healthcare outcomes; describe ways to mitigate the effect of these biases.
  • Summarize policies and practices that have been shown to contribute to inclusive workplace environments, and enhance recruitment, development, advancement and retention of women and minorities in the healthcare workforce.
