Evaluation of a Novel Equity-Focused Curriculum for Early-Stage Medical Students.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Medical school curricula have increasingly incorporated topics and content related to health equity and affiliated social determinants of health. However, there is limited literature to guide how programs might measure the success of these initiatives. Previous studies assessed medical student attitudes and perceived knowledge, preparedness, and skills. Based on self-reported measures of these attributes, we compared within-group and between-group differences at the onset of a novel equity-focused curriculum implementation.

Methods

A multi-component approach to "thread" lectures, panel discussions, and other content dedicated to health equity concepts was assessed using adapted versions of two validated survey instruments of the measured constructs. Baseline data
