CAPE In The News

On Wednesday, February 17th, we are had our very first Health Equity Through Cultural Sensitivity Simulation Day, an immersive simulation for Emergency Medicine residents. With this experience, our intentions were to help these learners:

• Gain a better understanding how diversity, equity and inclusion impacts health equity

• Reflect on own lack of cultural sensitivity/humility

• Address patients’ social determinants of health

• Examine privilege and structural inequities in patient care settings

These learners were immersed into eight patient scenarios highlighting various diverse communities to reflect the world we live in. From white privilege to language barriers to homelessness, the CAPE has curated an authentic experience sure to yield boundless outcomes.
