Welcome to a New Era of Health Equity Coaching!

As a practitioner in the field of special education or healthcare, you might often encounter challenges related to cultural competency and communication. The recent research article titled The Impact of Health Equity Coaching on Patient’s Perceptions of Cultural Competency and Communication in a Pediatric Emergency Department: An Intervention Design provides valuable insights into how health equity coaching can enhance your skills and improve patient interactions.

The intervention aimed to increase awareness of implicit bias among ED providers and improve communication with AI patients and families. This was achieved through a combination of educational lectures, service learning in AI communities, and dissemination of knowledge among ED staff.
