Sponsored by the Ethnogeriatrics Committee and the Achieving Health Equity Among Diverse Older Adults Special Interest Group

Moderator: Stephanie Chow, MD, MPH

In this workshop, we will share our experience on the feasibility and value of a dedicated DEI curriculum in an academic geriatric department. Learning Objectives: (1) review techniques to offering a departmental DEI-B baseline needs assessment and reflection on knowledge gaps, and evaluate the institutional landscape with a focus on caring for older adults and persons living with serious illness; (2) assess and present sensitive and timely DEI topics intentionally and effectively, using interdepartmental, institutional, and community resources; (3) describe ways to potentially synthesize and establish metrics for curriculum outputs and their outcomes, positive and negative indicators for program success and performance, and overall program impact; (4) provide strategies and techniques for maintaining a stable DEI program, given limited resources and protected time.
