From awareness to action: fostering health justice in medical education through an integrated workshop and resource.

There is growing concern that biased practices in medical education can contribute to health disparities, however, there is a lack of resources to address these concerns. Kern's six steps of curriculum development informed the creation of a toolkit and faculty development workshop to improve the incorporation of DEIAJ (diversity, equity, inclusion, advocacy, and justice) in medical education materials. The authors conducted two 60-min workshops; each consisted of an introductory lecture, case-based activity, and group discussions. Kirkpatrick's Model informed evaluation, including a retrospective pre-post workshop survey. Twenty-seven participants, primarily medical school faculty members, completed the workshop. Survey respondents demonstrated increases in their self-rated views on the importance of DEIAJ in medical education and their comfort level in editing curricular materials. This workshop and toolkit represent promising interventions aimed at fostering enhanced capacities and comfort regarding DEIAJ topics in medical education.
