Hosted by the Pharmacogenomics SIG
As educators, incorporating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) principles in our teaching is important because of their influence on cognitive and affective aspects of learning. To incorporate DEI principles effectively in teaching, we need to learn from the past to inform the present. Pharmacogenomics and precision medicine serve as a basis for deconstructing social constructions around race and other social determinants of health.
In this webinar, we share some best practices for incorporating DEIA into teaching from a pharmacogenomic-based perspective using examples from various institutions.
Objectives
- Recognize the prevalence of social constructions in medicine/practice.
- Evaluate the implications of the social construction of race as a factor in medical treatment and prevention focused algorithms.
- Identify the role of genetics in deconstructing paradigms of racial construction.
- Evaluate examples of teaching practices that include DEIA principles.
