Overview
This Stress, Trauma, and Resilience (STAR) Seminar will outline structural competency, a framework to enable clinical practitioners to address the community, institutional, and policy level drivers of inequalities in health and enhance health justice. The framework uses concepts from the social sciences to illuminate how clinicians can perceive and act on the mechanisms underlying social determinants of health.
Learning objectives
- Describe structural drivers of inequalities in health
- Explain the four core elements of structural competency
- Analyze at least two examples of structural competency interventions in terms of the ways clinicians have an impact on health inequalities
