With a solid understanding of the impact of the historical oppressive systems, participants will gain an understanding of the various levels at which oppressive systems operate and how these levels complicate health equity efforts. Participants will also identify how dominant culture influences interactions with patients and community members, and how to combat those cultural influences with behaviors that are empathetic, welcoming, and inclusive. 

Objectives: 

  • Participants will understand how oppressive systems exist at various levels. 
  • Participants will be able to identify where certain health inequities and challenges exist within the framework of levels of oppression. 
  • Participants will explore dominant culture characteristics and learn how to spot them within their own behavior and interactions.
