    DAY


    28 October 2020

    Join clinical experts, thought leaders, and advocates for a collaborative discussion on the issues of health disparities, structural racism, and medicine as they examine specific dermatologic diseases in a series of four free and open educational webinars from the Harvard Medical School. 
    Structural racism and racial bias in medicine: Wednesday, October 28, 1:00-2:15 PM ET Hair disorders in people of colour: Thursday, November 12, 1:00-2:15 PM ET Pigmentary disorders and keloids: Wednesday, November 18, 1:00-2:15 PM ET COVID-19 Comorbidities and cutaneous manifestations of systemic diseases in adults and children: Wednesday, December 2, 1:00-2:15 PM ET Implicit bias and structural racism play a central role in the development of healthcare disparities. One of the critically important areas in medicine is the misdiagnosis of disease in people with darker skin types due to implicit bias and the lack of awareness among physicians in recogniszing the disease pattern. Clinicians in primary care, emergency medicine, hospital medicine, surgery, pediatrics, and other medical specialties can deliver improved care if they can recognize and diagnose medical conditions based on skin findings in patients of color. This four-part series aims to improve diagnosis in people of color, describe pathogenesis and treatment of diseases, develop cultural competency, and impact change in health care policy so more is done to reduce racial bias in medical practice and medical research. Providing this education, in turn, will ultimately help reduce health disparities and improve the lives of underrepresented minority populations.
    Register for one event or all four.

    Do you want to develop an in-house faculty that can drive forward not only an awareness of, but the practical application of Human Factors principles across your organisation?
    Do you want to be able to develop a group that can take the lead on capturing the learning from the incredible challenges presented by COVID-19?
    This unique distance-learning course from Medled will enable attendees to both integrate the principles of Human Factors and performance science into their existing training, as well as run short courses on ‘An Introduction to Human Factors for Healthcare’.
    You will explore concepts such as:
    Understanding the relationship between Human Factors, culture & safety. Models of safety and performance: Can we apply one model to all of healthcare? Systems thinking – looking beyond the individual. Just Culture – balancing accountability & safety. Safety-II – bridging the gap between work as imagined and work as done.
