About this Course: This enduring material provides continuing education to physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals on weight bias toward patients with higher body weights and how this can negatively influence patient communication, patients’ behavior and health outcomes. Learners will explore how to include training and curricula in patient care that addresses biases, improves patient communication, reevaluates care practices and policies, and overall reimagines the delivery of health care to patients with higher body weights.
This course is presented as part of the 2025 Center for Health Equity Teaching for Inclusion and Equity Certificate Program: Equity Forward Faculty Workshops. This series contains fundamental principles workshops to educate faculty, fellows, residents, and staff on the theme of “Building Foundational Knowledge in Health Equity and Cultivating Inclusive Learning.” Because our faculty/learners are all in different places in their equity journey, this course offers opportunities to learn foundational health equity topics as well as ways to create more inclusive learning environments. Therefore, each workshop will cover topics in one of these two tracks (1) Foundational Knowledge in Health Equity track or (2) Teaching & Learning Environment track and a few workshops will cover topics in both tracks. These stand-alone workshops can be joined at any time.
Participants who attend and complete any 6 or more workshops of the series by September 30, 2025, will receive a Certificate of Completion on Teaching for Inclusion and Equity. Qualifying participants will be contacted in October 2025 with a copy of the certificate. Additional materials from workshops will be shared on the Equity Forward Faculty website: https://centerforhealthequity.georgetown.edu/equity-forward-faculty-campaign
