In partnership with the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) and a professional diversity speaker, the Ohio Academy of Family Physicians (OAFP) has created the highly interactive, virtual program Building Cultural Intelligence to Breakdown Racism set for Wednesday, September 30. Robin Shabazz, Esq., of The Eastledge Group located in Cincinnati, OH, will be the principal and lead cultural facilitator.
The event will provide physicians and other health care professionals an opportunity to have conversations about racism by reflecting on gaps in awareness of cultures, traditions, and ethnicities, and then take powerful steps toward personal improvement. The sessions will include interactive breakouts and small group discussions, and will not only address racism as a public health crisis, but also systematically train participants to improve their cultural intelligence
- Racism as a Public Health Crisis
- Culturally Intelligent Solutions for becoming an Antiracist
- American Board of Family Medicine’s (ABFM) Health Equity Performance Improvement Program – Your Call to Action.
After the conclusion of the program, participants will be invited to keep the conversation moving forward by opting into the OAFP’s first ever Racial Equity Book Club. The club will meet monthly during a weeknight via Zoom. A physician volunteer will facilitate the discussion by using guided questions to help readers share their personal reflections of the book being reviewed. Additional details and the reading list are provided on the OAFP website.
