Integrating and Assessing Structural Competency in an Innovative Prehealth Curriculum at Vanderbilt University

摘要

ProblemStructural competency is a framework for conceptualizing and addressing health-related social justice issues that emphasizes diagnostic recognition of economic and political conditions producing and racializing inequalities in health. Strategies are needed to teach prehealth undergraduate students concepts central to structural competency (e.g., structural inequity, structural racism, structural stigma) and to evaluate their impact.
