Health Humanities: Dismantling Structural Injustice in Healthcare

This virtual longitudinal institute will empower health professions faculty to leverage the health humanities (HH) in dismantling structural injustice in healthcare, while creating a unique community of practice. Designed for physicians or nurses involved in health professions education, this course will provide an introduction to HH, structural competency, history and theories of racism in healthcare, and HH-based approaches to addressing injustice. Participants will gain familiarity with how humanities-based pedagogies can be used to foster discussions amongst learners. Participants will pair structural competency with methodological tools in research and education to access, address, and teach about structural injustices, culminating in capstone projects on structural injustices participants identify within their own institutions.
