When Students Encounter Patient Bigotry: Supervisors’ and Preceptors’ Duty of Care

When Students Encounter Patient Bigotry: Supervisors’ and Preceptors’ Duty of Care

Tuesday, June 8, 2021 (7:00 PM - 8:00 PM) (EDT)

Description

When health-care trainees report being demeaned by patients for their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or religion, preceptors, and supervisors must take action. To date, there has been little attempt to prepare trainees for biased patients, leaving both trainee and preceptor or supervisor caught off guard and ill-equipped to respond effectively. This presentation will review the long-term impact of patient bigotry on student learning, introduce the concept of duty of care, and describe recommended "student ally" responses when patient bias occurs. Our focus will be on students of color, although this information equally applies to students targeted because of their gender, sexual identity, religion, or ethnicity.

Learning Objectives: 

  • List one reason why a student would decide not to report a bigoted patient encounter.
  • Identify one documented health outcome associated with discrimination.
  • Relate the legal concept "duty of care" to the role of clinical supervision.
