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, half-day, virtual program Building Cultural Intelligence to Breakdown Racism. Set for Wednesday, September 30, this program will not only address racism as a public health crisis but will also systematically train participants to improve their cultural intelligence. Registration is now open for this highly anticipated program!
The event will provide physicians and other health care professionals a safe place to have conversations about racism by reflecting on gaps in awareness of cultures, traditions, and ethnicities and then take the powerful steps toward personal improvement. 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. Additional details including a moderated reading list are provided on the OAFP website.
Application for continuing medical education (CME) credit has been filed with the American Academy of Family Physicians. Determination of credit is pending. The OAFP anticipates approval of approximately 4.5 Live Prescribed credits. Additionally, this initiative is perfectly timed to coordinate with the launch of the American Board of Family Medicine’s (ABFM) new Health Disparities/Equity Self-Directed Clinical Performance Improvement activity. Participants in our Building Cultural Intelligence to Breakdown Racism program can put their knowledge into practice and make it count for ABFM credit!

We were planning on sending our entire residency to this program. I don’t remember the pricing being listed anywhere at $130/per resident. Unfortunately, we will not be able to send our residents with our current budget. In the future, please list the pricing for these types of events.
