Advancing Health Equity (HCIN 6160-001; 1 CU)

Kimberly T. Arnold, PhD, MPH and Kevin Jenkins, PhD

This course explores the work of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice in health care organizations, clinical spaces, and affected communities. Throughout the course, we survey the context of health disparities and health equity, examine opportunities and limitations of ADEI programs, explore evidence-based frameworks and techniques that promote sustainable implementation of new initiatives.

Penn faculty and staff members are invited to take this 6-week long, online graduate course. Each week follows a pattern of asynchronous learning through brief videos, readings, written discussions with classmates, and real-world projects and assignments, plus a 1-hour synchronous class. Penn employees may use tuition benefits towards this course. This course is part of the Master of Health Care Innovation (MHCI) curriculum. A 4-course Certificate for Penn faculty and staff is also available.
