Welcome and Introduction 

• How is your head doing and how your heart is doing? 

T1DX HEAL Manuscript 

• Want to share with others what we are doing at HEAL 

• Operationalizing Medical Racism or Racial Equity 

• Medical Racism in text but Racial Equity in the title  
• Equity sounds more hopeful and sounds like we are offering solutions rather than just an explanation  

• KDD a great framework of what some clinics are doing, but what clinics should be doing 
• How people in the country are addressing Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) 

•  Help people see the “actors” in pushing equity, help spell out what each role can do   

• Who is responsible? 
• Who can do something? 

• Educate new medical students, healthcare students, use this as an early on teaching tool 
• Historical perspective – when sharing data race is a social construct  

• Setting a clinic policy that includes all 
• Focus on where our colleagues have a voice and have a role 
• Institutional Racism to avoid keeping it too high level 

• Tailors paper to stay focus 
• Too many layers can become convoluted  

• Narrower focus  

T1DX- QI annual Center Survey Questions 

Racial Equity 

• Add clarity to center on what level  
• Comparing racially diverse centers with survey results 

• Is anyone on the team part of a committee or task force in their institution to actively make change 
• Leadership or who takes ownership of curriculum  

LGBTQ  

• How do you ask this question, what language are you using? 
• Include all categories  

• What is the culture behind asking, is it a priority?
