摘要
摘要:本文为医生助理/医生助理(PA)教育工作者提供了有关性别偏见的实用指南。文章从有关偏见、歧视和微侵害的通用语言入手,揭示了在医学和健康科学培训中普遍存在的性别偏见所带来的深远影响。PA 教育也不能幸免于这一问题,因此缓解这一问题至关重要。接下来,该作品将反思性实践的概念与系统性方法相结合,对个人工作、班级、课程、课程设置和项目中的偏见进行评估。最后,作品通过使用包容性检查表,提供了通过包容性语言和图像减轻偏见的策略,为 PA 教育工作者创建了一个积极的质量改进过程。
Using Reflection and a Systems-Based Approach to Foster Gender Inclusion.
Abstract: This article serves as a practical guide for physician assistant/physician associate (PA) educators regarding gender bias. Beginning with common language regarding bias, discrimination, and microaggressions, the work also illuminates the far-reaching consequences of pervasive gender bias in medicine and health science training. PA education is not immune to this problem, making mitigation critical. Next, the work integrates the concept of reflective practice and the use of a systematic approach to both assess bias in an individual work, class, course, curriculum, and program. Finally, the work provides strategies for mitigating bias through inclusive language and images via the use of an inclusive checklist, creating a positive quality improvement process for use by PA educators.
