Health Equity M&M Webinar Series
The WSMA and WSMA Foundation invite you to join your colleagues for our
popular Health Equity M&M Webinar Series. Think “morbidity and mortality,”
but with a focus on health equity. Free for WSMA members and offering CME
credit, 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.
Professor 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.
Patient Case Submission
WSMA members are encouraged to submit a patient case to discuss at an
upcoming session. The WSMA has created an online case submission form for
you to share information regarding a specific case. If you would like to
speak with the webinar's facilitator directly, please email Kendra
Peterson at kendra@wsma.org. Verbal
submission of cases is the safest approach to preserving the
confidentiality of the information. Rest assured that for both methods,
your case submission is CQIP and HIPAA compliant.
This activity has been approved for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™.
