Health Equity Research Bibliography
February 20 – March 3, 2017
Spotlight on March 2017 Issue of Academic Medicine
The March issue of Academic Medicine includes a collection of articles that explores the
importance of understanding how social structures and structural competency influence health.
"Structural competency" refers to the ability of health care professionals to address the systemic
causes of health inequalities (e.g., racism, political structures, environmental factors). The
collection examines how to integrate training and care delivery systems to better meet the needs
of patients and how to teach and discuss these topics with physician trainees.
