Upcoming CPD Webinars
Continuing professional development is the process of lifelong learning in
which physicians acquire, through formal and informal activities, the
medical and nonmedical competencies they need to improve their ability to
practice medicine and provide effective patient care. Engaging in
continuing professional development is a professional obligation and also
a prerequisite for enhancing the quality of health care. The WSMA offers
continuing professional development as part of our commitment to
supporting physicians and physician assistants on their lifelong learning
journey. Questions? Contact Brendan Cox at
brendan@wsma.org or 206.956.3625.
Health Equity M&M Webinar Series
Friday, Oct. 13, 2023, noon-1 p.m.
The WSMA and WSMA Foundation invite you to join your colleagues for the
next session of our popular Health Equity M&M Webinar Series. Think "morbidity and mortality," but with a focus on health equity. Free for
WSMA members, this webinar series is held on the second Friday of
even-numbered months at noon.
These Health Equity M&M discussions provide a framework for
recognizing and examining our own biases and identifying the ways systemic
racism exists in our organizations. You’ll have new tools to think
critically and identify when to advocate for your patients from
historically marginalized communities, ensuring they receive the highest
quality clinical care. The Health Equity M&M discussions serve as one
of many mechanisms to address forms of systemic marginalization of
patients. During each webinar, Edwin Lindo, JD, facilitates case-based
discussions.
Lindo is the assistant dean of social and health justice in the
Office of Healthcare Equity, an associate teaching professor in the
department of family medicine, and an adjunct associate teaching professor
in the department of bioethics and humanities at the University of
Washington School of Medicine. He teaches, presents, and writes on issues
of race and racism within the field of medicine and greater society. He is
internationally recognized as a conscious voice for racial and social
justice.
This series fosters a space conducive to building a community of
professionals focused on achieving health equity, allowing for discussions
of charged but necessary topics. Each webinar is protected under WSMA's
CQIP as recognized by the Washington State Department of Health and pursuant to RCW 70.225.040. By
registering, you agree to maintain the confidentiality of the cases
discussed pursuant to RCW 43.70.510, RCW 70.41.200, and RCW 4.24.250.
WSMA members are encouraged to submit a patient case to discuss at an
upcoming session. Verbal submission of cases is the safest approach to
preserving the confidentiality of the information. If you would like to
speak with the webinar's facilitator directly, please email
kendra@wsma.org. As an alternative,
the WSMA has created an
online case submission form
for you to share information regarding a specific case. Rest assured that
your case submission is CQIP and HIPAA compliant.
This activity has been approved for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™.
