Community Health Workers: Partners in the pursuit of equity, professional education, and pandemic response
Community health workers (CHWs) are a critical workforce for promoting health equity. In this presentation, we will outline CHWs’ unique contributions to addressing social determinants of health, with a particular focus on how CHWs have been active in COVID response. We will highlight how CHWs can play a role in health professional education and how health professionals can partner with community health workers to improve pandemic response and prepare for the future.

Correcting the Art of the Chart: Addressing Bias in our Notes
We in healthcare education invest a great deal of time in teaching our learners how to communicate with patients. Use PEARLS to convey empathy. Lean into the patient. Never stand above the patient. Soften your tone and slow down when delivering bad news. How much do we think and teach about writing effective, compassionate and ethical notes? Ethical, compassionate charting that is free from bias is a topic that has recently received some attention since patients now have access to our electronic notes as soon as we sign them.
