On Demand Grand Rounds: Training Psychiatrists To Achieve Mental Health Equity

This presentation was originally reviewed on May 17, 2021, and broadcast live online on May 5, 2021, from 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM ET. 

The views and opinions expressed by this presenter in this lecture are their own, and do not represent the views of Sheppard Pratt.

The history of organized psychiatry in the United States includes racist practices in the areas of diagnosis, treatment, training and research. These practices contribute to inequities in mental health. Reform in psychiatric training may be effective at reducing such disparities; policy recommendations may increase the number of underrepresented minorities in health services; and training practices should address health inequity. Lifelong learning in psychiatry may also be leveraged to promote mental health equity.

Target Audience

This activity is intended for physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, and other mental health professionals.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, attendees will be able to:

  1. Describe challenges in training psychiatrists to achieve mental health equity.
  2. Identify historical events that contributed to mental health inequities.
  3. Plan training practices that promote health equity.
