Health Equity Rounds
Dr. Italo Brown, and Dr. Stephanie Brown discuss the use of Health Equity Rounds as an important didactic approach to understanding the role social determinants can play in medicine. Dr. Italo Brown has introduced SPACE as a model for conducting the rounds — Share, Probe, Acknowledge, Connect, Engage. Dr. Stephanie Brown shares her experience at Sutter Health in a pilot project that introduced this model to providers in the Labor and Delivery department at Sutter Health’s Berkeley site. They explore the value of using “case based learning” in medicine to introduce the difficult conversation about bias of all kinds and bring a deeper understanding of the context of the challenge providers may face to address their own unconscious biases.
