This Lightning Talk will explore the complex challenges faced by today's healthcare professionals, with a focus on mitigating the negative effects of professional ego on medical errors and racialized medicine. This practical model session combines lessons learned with aims to improve health equity and equip healthcare professionals with the tools they need to mitigate professional ego, decrease medical errors, and promote equitable, patient-centered care. By addressing the barriers posed by professional ego, we can enhance patient care, improve healthcare value, and contribute to better education in practice and community settings.
Our IPE program is a simulation experience for exploring this complexity, infusing a case with Latinx content, utilizing a language interpreter, and incorporating a Latinx actor. In each simulation session, we foster the additional skills of mindful practice required by providers. Our intended data collection focused on identifying and effectively mitigating social determinants of health (SDOH) through effective interprofessional collaboration. We highlight the following skills as essential for interprofessional practice: roles, responsibilities, communication, teamwork, and values and ethics. Our debriefing qualitative data reveals a need to intentionally promote cultural humility and emotional intelligence as key components of interprofessional practice and education.
This Lightning Talk will discuss our methodology, up-to-the-minute findings, and training plans that discuss ego defenses contrary to emotional intelligence and cultural humility.
