Understanding faculty perspectives on health equity curriculum implementation in graduate medical education: a qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite increased awareness of persistent healthcare disparities, integrating health equity education into medical residency curricula needs urgent expansion. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) mandates addressing healthcare disparities and social determinants of health, but implementation remains insufficient due to pervasive barriers.

Objective

To explore residency faculty perspectives at one institution surrounding implementing a health equity curriculum within their programs.

Methods

Between November 2022 and April 2023, qualitative interviews and focus groups were conducted with residency faculty participants (n = 13) from a large academic medical institution. Participants were recruited via an internal email list director
